Watershed | An Icelandic Tale

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Top AirVuz contributor and pilot videobros was a winner at the second annual Drone Video Awards with his epic piece "Land of the Mayas". In this production, which was picked as a DVOW Finalist in January, 2020, he used a very different backdrop: the highlands of south central Iceland. The video captures an epic four day hike along the Landmannalaugar trek, which runs between the hot springs area around Landmannalaugar to the glacier-surrounded mountain ridge of Þórsmörk.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

A new hiking adventure, this time Iceland. My friends and I decided to escape from the main tourist road and walk the Laugavegur trail, a 4-day hike from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. During our adventure, we saw smoke rising from the mountains, epic landscapes, wild horses, northern lights and all the seasons in just one day. The palette of colors in Iceland is magical and unlike any country I've seen. In the 'land of ice and fire' it was mainly all the water that impressed me the most. Little floating rivers under the pack of ice where we walked, dozens of waterfalls and several rivers to cross. After the hike, we drove along the coastal road, which showed again how Iceland is literally surrounded by water. And so the theme for this video was born. Poem in the intro is 'Vatnaskil' by Magnús Sigurðsson, narrated by Lilja O'Brien Enjoy the video :-) Follow us on instagram: instagram.com/videobrosnl/ Gear used: - Panasonic GH5 - Leica 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 - Leica 42.5mm f1.2 - Laowa 7.5mm f2 - Mavic Pro 2 Edit, color grading and sound design in Final cut pro X
