the music accounts for two out of the seven months work so it's great you like it greg (i do too)! my friend dean (with a toddler, a newborn and a vineyard to look after!) produced the music to match the video, and then we went through a few iterations (with support from more friends) to improve the sound and the mix, all of which takes time that busy people don't have!

Thanks for the views.

thanks alex. yes.. there are three clips around the middle of the video where the aurora was so bright that i was shooting 1/3 second exposures. i then also timewarped those clips (generating intermediate frames) so that they are playing back at only ~5x actual speed, whereas the rest of the video is with typically 8sec exposures playing back at 24fps, so about 200x actual speed.
on storm nights like this, i was literally just swearing at the sky in disbelief.. it was so intense and active at times. pretty frantic with the cameras when it's like that too as the framing required moves all over place.
from this night and one other on the trip i actually also have some live video from a few minutes when the aurora was exceptionally bright. it's very noisy but quite interesting. doing something with those will be project number 4..
