Iceland Under a New Light - Summer in Iceland - Drone Short FIlm
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- This past summer I spent the month of July living out of a car in Iceland and seeing as much of the country as possible while enjoying the midnight sun. When you think of Iceland, most people picture cold, windy, and dark (which a large part of my trip was). But I wanted to capture the beauty of what summer in Iceland can really feel like, when the sun peeks through the clouds and lights up the landscape. I experienced endless waterfalls, massive glaciers, rugged coastlines and both lush and barren mountains in the highlands. This was hopefully my first of many Iceland trips to come. All drone footage was shot on the DJI Mavic 3 Cine in ProRes 422 HQ and edited in Davinci Resolve.

I know it's been awhile since I have posted on here! I spent the full month of July in Iceland shooting. Then the actual editing process for this project was almost two months in the making. From sorting through 20+ hours of footage, to learning davinci resolve from scratch, editing, color grading, sound design etc.. Very excited to finally be putting this one out. Thanks for all the continued support on my work. It really does mean alot!
Man, I have been to Iceland this summer too, late July to early August and it was amazingly beautiful, best trip of my life. I did the full Landammanalaugar hike just like you all the way from Skogar. I dont know how you managed to get those colors on those shots, but it looks even better than in reality, so impressive ! I went also to Jokulsarlon but could not go on the glacier (your shots are amazing on this part, from the lake the ice was not that impressive) and on the Mulagljlufur canyon, and I was so happy to see your footage cause its not that well known and just out of this world, deserved to be showcased ! The "texture part" in your video left me speechless, looks like a painting... Anyways, outstanding content, the music was dope too, really emphasized the "imposing" effect that Iceland has on you ! Btw, if you have the opportunity to go there again you MUST go to Hornstrandir. I wont add anything just see for yourself ;)
Thanks Drew. Magnificent work. May I ask; what vehicle were you using for the trek? Cheers 👍🏻🙏🦘
@@grahameroberts8109 I had a defender for the first 10 days (in the highlands) and then had a camper van for two weeks (ring road)!
@@redart7151 Sounds like you had a great trip as well! Completely agree that Mulagljlufur canyon is a super underrated spot. I was suppose to go to Hornstrandir on my last few days but they had a huge storm hit that area of the coast. Already planning another trip back haha.
@@drewsimms Same 😂 I will never get tired of this alien-like country !
This is not a video. This is ART ❤
Love to hear that!
you are my favourite youtube solo vloger. keep doing great work. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Amen!
I don't know how you did it but your skills have improved again. Making iceland look like a mythical land that shouldn't exist anymore (thankfully still does)
Thanks Josh! Iceland was something special. Felt like a mythical place being there haha.
That was insane 👌. Gotta appreciate the amount of work and time you put into this. The shots themselves, the color grading, timing with the music, separate recorded audio like the waves...all of it. Awesome job on this one man.
Let alone the storage space he had to have to record this much in 5k! Absolutely mind blowing stuff for a SINGLE MAN. This guy is doing stuff that full production teams struggle to pull off.
@@1859ddd Lots and lots of hard drives haha
Thanks Aaron! Was definitely one of the harder projects to put together. Appreciate the support man!
As always, your cinematography and artistic skills are way beyond compare. You put the "big dogs" to shame. Thank you SO much for sharing this stunning imagery!!
Thanks Robin! And thanks for your continued support!
I'm lost for words. This is "Fine Art" in Cinematography in its best form. Absolutely outstanding work, paired with wonderful music, which should be rewarded with countless awards. Just fantastic, Drew! 👏
Thanks so much Christian!
When the world is falling apart around us, along comes Drew reminding us that humans and everything we are and do is nothing compared to the power and beauty of the world we live on.
I’ve never seen so much epic footage in one place. This whole video was like a Nat Geo film on steroids
Thanks Christian! Iceland is too good
Drew, I never comment on anything, but this deserves recognition. I watch a lot of travel films and your cinematography in this is exceptional.
You deserve awards. This footage is the best I’ve ever seen and you did it all on consumer grade gear. Major film studios should be knocking on your door.
This is a piece of art and you should be proud of it. Stills of these shots printed on acrylic or metallic would be incredible.
Please keep up the quality. You deserve to be one of the biggest names in this space. Stay safe in your travels and I look forward to more!
I don’t know why you don’t have 10 Million subscribers!! This deserves an award and Iceland should definitely recognize you for this. If you ever start a group/guided tour to Iceland, I will be the first one to sign up! Excellent job!
As someone completely in love with Iceland's surreal beauty, your footage had me in tears for half of the movie. I feel like somehow you successfully managed to capture the true essence of Iceland.
Jesus christ.!!! This cinematography was just the best of the best I have been seen maybe ever.. really good Job and thank you for share no only you experience but the beauty of our mother nature.. Big hug..
Thanks Josh! Really love to hear that man!
One of the most captivating landscape films I've ever seen. Truly stunning work.
Thank you Zach! Means alot man
This is the best video I've ever seen! Constant goosebumps throughout my body and almost shed a tear couple of times...truly magical! Iceland is my top travel destination and after this video I can't wait to visit! Excellent work Drew!!
Really love to hearing that! You definitely need to make it to iceland at some point!
Absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. From one cinematographer to another, this is world-class work.
Well done!
Truly inspirational! Thanks for all the hard work Drew.
Thanks guys! Been a fan of your work for a long time so I really appreciate hearing that
This is amazing! You got as close to doing Iceland justice as I've ever seen. Ive been there twice and its hard to capture what it truly feels like to be there. This definitely gives a taste of what Iceland feels like but as I'm sure you now know nothing compares to being there. Well done best Iceland video on youtube, keep up the good work!
Thanks Andrew! Was definitely tough putting this video together while trying to do Iceland justice. Such an unreal and beautiful place
I've never had a desire to visit. But, I definitely do now!😯❤
Drew, dude this video just kept my eyes glued and wanting to see more, it’s just so amazing and stunning that you captured all this and the way how you presented it to us is just … amazing job. thank you for sharing your adventure with us
Love to hear that! Really appreciate your support and kind words
Drew!!!! You've outdone yourself!!! Just when I think you've put the best out there. Holy Moley!!! Thank you SO VERY much for sharing this. I absolutely love your descriptions. They are descriptions I have used many times myself. Thank you again. ❤❤❤
This is still my favorite Iceland video on RUclips. I wish it was higher up on the search list, it deserves more views!!
Hi Drew! This video is a masterpiece, and by far our favorite film you've put out. It's very evident the amount of time and effort you put into all aspects of this to get it just right. Keep up the great work! 👍
Never have I been able to get drone footage to look as stunning as you always do.
Appreciate the support Cody!
Wow!! Black volcanic soil every place there aren't shades of green like I've never seen. The glacier's dragon skin with millenia-old pockets of air trapped in the wrinkled and freckled ice. Basalt postpiles that go on forever leading us to areas where waterfalls are squeezed from solid rock. Thank you for sharing your very hard filming and post-production. Well-earned kudos!
Very well said Ray! Iceland really has some of the most unique landscapes I've ever seen
And the oscar goes ...
Cherishing the nature is a noble thing! Excellence in art that was. 👏👏👏
Thanks Charlie! Really appreciate hearing that
This environment just looks so alien. Those drone shots in Chapter 2 were like Art, like an optical illusion. Well done drew, seems as though you went far and wide to get all of this magnificent imagery.
Thanks Mark! Definitely was a busy month filming!
Unreal! Thank you for showing us bird’s eye view of the amazing Iceland with your next level Cinematography! I especially love the chapter with textures. They are out of this world! 🙏🏻
Thank you! That was my favorite chapter to put together!
I watched it a lot of times and this is still not getting old. Still blowing my mind. The Shots, Timing, music, this is kind of magic. I enjoyed your regular content a lot. But this stuff is more than just next level. This is pretty much the best drone stuff that exist of iceland.
Another masterclass is aerial cinematography. You’re an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This is some next level stuff Drew. Incredible work to say the least. How is this not on the National Geographic network !!??
Thanks Bruno! Really appreciate that man
Beautiful!! I can’t imagine how many batteries this took😮
Thanks Kay! Haha the amount of raw drone footage was dumb
Truly artwork. I have seen this clip a dozen times and I feel more emotional every time I see it. Thank you for sharing!
I just want to thank you for sharing these mesmerizing beauty of our mother earth .......I don't have any other word to appreciate your hardwork.
Really appreciate hearing that! Thanks for watching
Wake up babe Drew Simms just dropped 👀👀
Haha thanks man!
The chapter 2 : "textures" is the most beautiful drone footage i've ever see !
This is breathtakingly beautiful. Such talent. I love that you sync your scene changes to the tempo of the music,. Thank you Drew. Bless you.
Thank you, Drew.
for showing Our this Beautiful EARTH 😍
No words!!!! You seriously got some talent. Please don’t stop what you are doing!!!
It's healing my soul. The flim makes me alive and make me feel a tinny thing same time...thanks.
Mind blown 🤯 even Hollywood productions have failed in front of this masterpiece ❤️
Cried through most of this. So beautifully captured.
Bro astonishing!! I’m blown away! Don’t even feel there is language or words to describe this accurate enough of the amazingness you have delivered here. WOW
Had goosebumps watching this.. I feel blessed to have found your channel to see beautiful Mother Earth
Thank you! Love to hear that
Drew, I comment once a year and you deserve 10 years of comments. Thank you so much for allowing me to watch the amaze.
WOW ++++++++ chapter two/texture was the highlight for me. What a fantastically beautiful place captured so very well. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Gaylene! That was my favorite chapter to put together!
I didn’t move. Then Textures began. I didn’t breathe. Ice resembles microscopic closeups of skin. The music fit seamlessly. This planet is amazing. Thank you for bringing this to all of us. I will have to view this many many times in order to absorb every detail.
Thanks Eli! Really appreciate hearing that
It seems like you put your heart and time in your videos. Thank you for sharing this video with us and thank you for sharing the effort you needed to put in order to make it happen
No one does it like you, Drew! WOW, STUNNNIIING!! I have waited a long time to “hear” from you again…..totally worth the wait!!!
This one took a long time to put together! Thanks for the support!
Can’t even imagine the work you put into this!!! Thank you my friend!!
This is stunning! Your skill is just incredible. Iceland is my favorite of all the countries I’ve visited and or lived in. I love the lush green mountains and waterfalls. Thank you for this!
Wtf. Is this a magic trick? You are incredible i cannot even fathom.
Haha thank you!
Absolutely incredible Drew. I hit full screen and felt tears building in my eyes. Such beautiful work!
Living the life...what a beautiful world we have....seeing it through your eyes. Thank you!
Iceland is something special!
Beautiful highlights from your trip. Iceland is totally on the bucket list now!
Cant describe this with words good enough for the work behind it… masterclass old sports… true masterclass
Thank you Niklas!
Are you f.cking kidding me? I love Iceland and watched every single video about Iceland that is worth watching. My number one was always: EARTH - ICELAND by Vladimir Bodiroga. Finally, you showed us your true talent. Everything is awesome about your movie: cinematography, music sound effects, editing, color grading. The beauty of Iceland is out of this world. Since you spent the whole month there, I believe there will be few more videos coming soon. What an amazing piece of ART!
Thanks Piotr! Love that video by Vladimir as well! Really appreciate all the kind words and support! More vlog style videos from the trip coming soon
Wow. Absolutely breathtaking.
Wow... just wow. Theres a point where people go from just normal RUclips videos to actual cinematic motion pictures. Great work!
Thank you! Really means alot!
Love the magic that flows through you. Outstanding work. Insane shots. Editing is spot on. Throwing Tony Anderson in the background of some of this was a match made in heaven. Well done mate. Thank you for the experience.
My God what an incredible piece of Art , thanks Drew for sharing.
Sometimes you just can't find the right words. Your films are always worth the wait. Thank you.
Thanks for being here Shirley!
VERY IMPRESSIVE! I have no words! I am an amateur photographer in iceland, I do see the level you have, wow!

Thanks Kim!
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.
Wow man ALL of that footage is sooo beautiful and unreal! That Mavic 3 Cine really packs a lot in it! Makes me want to visit Iceland sooner than later!
Most of the time I'm not sure what I'm looking at but I do know it is one the most beautiful things I've ever seen 😍
You've got to be kidding me. That is your most epic drone compilation yet. You are talented bro!
