Hired by the international camera company, Blackmagic Design, I went to the Faroe Islands
About the project
I was hired by Blackmagic Design to create a film with their new camera: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. So I went to the Faroe Islands. I went there with a mission to shoot the dramatic landscapes while thinking of a poem from William Heinesen, one of the most well known Faroese writer and poet. He actually did write in danish, but I felt it would be more authentic to have it translated to Faroese and have it read in Faroese as well. The poem is called ‘It is yet again one of these oceanic days’ (‘Det er igen en af disse oceaniske dage’), but it’s not the full poem, since it was too long to have it all in the video. So I have made an abbreviated version. The poem is a tribute to life, and how absurd it in many ways is.
