This hypnotic 4K film shows Norway from its best side

American filmmaker Raphael Rogers thought for about 15 seconds before accepting a trip to Norway. The trip of a lifetime, as it turned out. This is the film he brought back.

First things first: You need to see this short film. You’re in for some stunning images in 4K resolution, with a mesmerizing soundtrack. In other words, the video deserves to be seen in full screen, with a good headset, to get the best experience possible.

The Los Angeles-based filmmaker Raphael Rogers made the film, titled Norway: Into the Arctic 4K, during a relatively spontaneous trip to Norway earlier this spring.

“Here you will find 3 minutes distilled from over six and a half hours of real-time footage I took. I couldn’t stop filming. It was one of the most epic trips of my life. The most beautiful place I have been on this planet so far,” writes Rogers in the film’s description on Vimeo.
