For a change of pace, I thought I would offer up something a little different in this post. The previous ten posts about this Northwest Passage journey have consisted of words and still photographs. This time it will be a video report with a musical background.
The Northwest Passage: Into the Arctic Circle
This was my first experiment with video and it was clearly a learning experience. Perhaps the most important lesson is that, at least for me, a video production is a team effort. Above all, it requires a talented editor and I had the good fortune to have an excellent partner in this effort. Her name is Samantha Politis and she took a batch of video files shot with my Nikon D810, a few seconds of drone footage captured by Fredieric Michel, the ship’s videographer, during the visit to the Ilulissat Icefjord (used with his permission), a musical score that she and I selected (license fee paid) and weaved them into a 3 minute video.
I hope you will take a look and let us know what you think.

The video is fabulous – to see a polar bear swimming in that expanse would be simply mind-blowing for me – thank you so much for taking the time to share!

Thanks, Joanne. I’m glad you like it. I was wondering if the link would actually work; first time I’ve tried that as well.

Wow, your video is sensational. I love the seascapes, the ice, the polar bear swimming, the overhead shots…. and the music totally in sync with the images. What a feat. I’ll have to give this a go! Thanks Robin for sharing this amazing expedition.

I absolutely loved your video, thanks so much for sharing! I know I’ll never get an opportunity on an adventure like this, but watching the video gave me a sense of getting to take the journey even if only for a few minutes. Just wonderful! 🙂
