This is art. The visuals, the poetic narration, the melody of her voice. Wonderful work by this person. A hidden gem on RUclips, without a doubt.
Thank you!
First time watching this channel and I agree, especially the voice. Can't stand the often American whinny talk overs. Her jumpers makes me itch though!! :)
I couldt say more its realy beutifull
its staged...
Right!? I thought the exact same thing. I now want to sell everything I own, buy a monohull, and disappear.
No ego. No pretentiousness. No sponsors. No ads. No begging to like n subscribe... so I will
Best RUclips sailor. No ego. No pretentiousness. No sponsors. No ads. No begging to like n subscribe... so I will. Best cinematography. Best voice.
I am not sure about the ego part though.
Yeah, I can't stand it when people who film themselves constantly, even in difficult conditions, and spend countless hours editing the footage into something that's enjoyable.. I can't stand it when they actually try to get monetarily compensated for the time and work they put into creating this thing I enjoy *for free*
🙄
No one asked them to upload anything, they choose to do it, but e-begging is grotesque, if they cant afford to do it, dont e-beg,
I feel you, am not sure about how sincere it all is. Too much choreographed, never looking tired or without looking ready for dinner, etc. At the same time it is filmed very nicely, nice boat. If there is a dude on board filming it I would not be surprised. It just could be the way she wants it to be, polished. I will check out the older stuff 😎 @@Sonnell
(edit: lol, this is the only vid, I didn't expect that. I look forward to her return though ;-)
@@evananderson1455Landscape photographer here. Most creative people spend hours doing what they’re doing because THEY enjoy it. They don’t do it for you; if you like the final result, that’s just a bonus (I don’t even publish half of the photos I process).
And the people who do it for attention, likes and profit… you can usually tell; most of them have no signature style and produce whatever they think will be popular, often copying each other.
I just hope there is soon continuation of this saga. I find the storytelling together with visuals just mesmerizing, very different from mainstream sailing youtubers
This is the best sailingvideo i ever watched, everything was perfect, the cinematography, your narration and the way you talk. Please keep doing those if you can find the time!
Bon voyage!
Thank you so much!
OMG, This video, the cuts, the framing along with the narration are incredible, congratulations
Veronica, this short film was so beautifully produced! Been following your journey on Instagram for some time and are so happy to see you’ve crossed over to this medium! Your photography is stunning, and love this style of storytelling! Thank you for sharing your perspective of this incredible part of the world with us. Looking forward to many more!
You did an amazing job with this Video! I hope you continue to share your storys on RUclips
The shots, the voice over, the sounds of Nature...it just felt like escaping for 13 Minutes and I enjoyed every single one of it! 😊
Hi Veronica
Greetings from a completely different part of the world! I’m currently typing this laying in my bunker on my Hans Christian 33 sailboat in the Caribbean 😅
As you can guess it’s nice and warm already at 7:30 am
RUclips was kind enough to put your video in my things to watch.
Besides your calming voice, and the fact that you’re a sailor and a woman…..the most stunning thing was the absolute cinematografié quality of your video! The play with the light, going from dark warm to bright light outside, the scene set up is not your average RUclipsr!!
I hope your video gets around and you get tons of followers. It’s refreshing to see the quality of content from a new sailing channel !!
Keep it up and get yourself down here to the Caribbean…….you would love it!
Calm winds and following seas!! 🙌🏻🫶🏻
Massive respect ;) as a full time solo sailor I can just say, you catch perfect special atmosphere of being solo on boat in true nature. MAGIC;).
Its hard for those who don't sail to understand what an outstanding job your doing. Yes hanging off a wharf in a massive blow keeps you up at night. Great job on the engine, and beautiful filming. Look forward to seeing more of you.
13 minutta med rein hjæmlængsel ❤ Tusen takk, håper du legger ut flere filmer, det gjorde godt å se litt seiling fra nord. Hadde naboer en gang for hundre år siden som hadde samme etternavn som deg. Andenes-familie. Her sørpå begynner det å nærme seg vår, håper du får litt varme i lufta snart du også.
Godt å høre, vi ser frem til våren i nord også! Det er den fineste tida, når det er snø på fjellan og lyset har kommet tilbake. Så artig, slektsnavnet er fra Lofoten opprinnelig 😊 God kveld!
You the bravest girl I've ever meet. That storm would freak me out. Great job on sorting the engine
Veronica: you are a true master making video's, so natural your poetic narration is like music to my ear after a long period of silence. We hope you never change your format and that your life is always graced with the surrounding beauty of Norway. Thank you for sharing, you are one in a million.
This feels like an A24 film. At any moment a sea creature of Scandinavian lore is going to pop out and eat you, but the camera will still be rolling with a perfectly framed fjord at sunset as the boat rocks back and forth, halyards gently slapping the mast.
Stunning filmography and immersive storytelling. Instant fan!
What courage!! As previous posters have said, you are not trying to sell how good you are, rather sharing your big problems in a very matter of fact way. I have not come across your channel before but will now subscribe to be inspired as I too am a single handed sailor but not as intrepid as you are. I wish you the very best with your future travels.
It was an absolute joy to watch your video. It had everything I ever wanted to see from a sailing point of view. My husband is Swedish and I am from the UK and Ireland. We are spending this year getting our beautiful wooden sail boat ready to set sail this time next year. We hope to make similar videos to your delightful one. We have seen so many that all look, sound and portray the same thing. However, yours was beautifully edited, with wonderful imagery all coated with soulful narration. Thank you and good luck on your journey, you are an inspiration and we can’t wait to see more from you.
I like your posts on Instagram. But this was next level!! The narration and your cinematography are stunningly beautiful.
I really hope to see more Videos of you on RUclips
I love the simplicity, the quiet, and straightforwardness of this video! And though I think most of us love music - I love that the only "music" is the sound of ship and wind and waves. Can't wait to see your next one! So happy you have decided to do RUclips - Instagram can only portray so much.
Beautiful video Veronica, hope there are more to come! Please keep the simplicity of the wonderful video, beautiful storytelling and natural sounds. It's amazing and inspiring what you're doing, so thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow, beautiful. Your narration is superb, your scenes captured majestic, I feel I could loose myself in your world for days, months, years!
Those kinda videos are exactly what i love about youtube ❤
Please please post more! Best filmography, best voice over, complete aesthetic perfection.
I look forward to more. This video is so peaceful. Your writing that I’ve followed for a while is translated perfectly into video. Thank you for a glimpse into your life.
love it. love the style. love your photography. love the thoughtfulness. i hope you'll do more.
This was so beautifully filmed, narrated, and produced. Some lovely poetry in there: "In between the gusts there is complete silence. You get a moment to breath before the mountain takes a deep breath, and it blows at you once again." Incredibly impressive work Veronica :) It's amazing how much energy it can take to keep a diesel maintained. Also incredible how reliable and long lived they can be considering how hard they work. I hope yours holds up a nice long time, and that you have been able to sort out the reverse gear. Not just a linkage adjustment, hey?
Tack så mycket för att du delade med dig av din fantastiska resa! Detta måste vara en av de vackraste youtubeklipp jag sett. Längtar hem till norden när jag ser detta!
That was inspiring. I was flying freight as far as Resolute Bay in Nunavut yesterday, about 74°N. The Arctic scenery is incredible all over, thanks for sharing
I love your first video! I enjoy your editing and I really like how you started your RUclips journey by showing us how hard living on a boat is but how worth it, it is! Keep it up!
It was the best RUclips video I've seen this year
Notice how calm it looks at 3:50 then you see the water lift of the "flat" sea in the background. Nice storytelling, footage and video editing. Looking forward to see more from your journey.
As a filmmaker since more than 45 years, I am deeply impressed. A joy to watch and a pleasure to feel. Thank you for the moments 🤗😘
You have a real good eye for framing, it’s really impressive ! I have filmed myself sailing solo once and it was so hard so I’m really amazed by the beauty of your shots ! Looking forward to seeing more !
Really well done, poetic at times! Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with the world. I find your tenacity through your challenges very inspiring. I have 2 daughters similar in age to you, and I've encouraged them to follow you. We look forward to your next video.
Such a wonderful video, amazingly beautiful and incredibly soothing. I knew from your Insta that you were a true Nature lover with the soul of a poet so needless to say, I got pretty excited when I saw your post about this YT premiere. Even before I clicked, I knew this vid was gonna be special but saying it surpassed my expectations would be the understatement of the year. Outstanding work from start to finish. No cringe intro, no music, no BS chit-chat, just straight up pure immersion with you, your boat, the sea and the Arctic scenery. The voiceover was impeccable, neither forced, over-hyped or too scripted. On the contrary, I found it quite peaceful, well written and very natural. The whole audio was just flawless and the filming was pretty good too. A bit shaky at times but the framing was gorgeous, just like it is on your photos. I liked that drone shot at 8:14 as well. All in all, this here is top tier content. Big like and instant sub. Thank you for this treat, 🙏.
Sailing solo is no small feat, especially this far North. Ever since I found out about you on Insta, I've learned to admire your resourcefulness and your resilience as a sailor, your spirit of freedom and independence, your modesty, simplicity and authenticity, not to mention your love for Nature and your concern for animals on land and at sea. I really hope this video is the first of many more to come. Best of luck to you on your channel and your next adventures. Warm regards from the far end of Finistère, Brittany.
The barrel in the interior, love it! Great video!
I noticed that too. Securely fixtured to the boat, the barrel looks simple, and sturdy.
I would add a few baffles inside the barrel, because the free surface effect on the water inside the barrel worsens the boat's stability.
Hey Veronica, you made a piece of art and I enjoyed every second of it, good Job!!
Voiceover, timeline and the switch to the vlog segments create such a nice flow! Also the slower pacing and not adding music is definetly a welcome change, compared to many other sailing videos. I don´t know if this was intentional or not, but keeping the same frame and letting the "action" move instead of panning, walking or zooming all around, also gives a peaceful vibe and fits your artistic style really well :)
You do see that some of the shoots in the beginning are handheld and a bit shaky, but I guess you are well aware of that and carrying a tripod up all those island might not really be worth it. Just an idea - using a tripod for those nature shots and slowly zomming in or out with editing might be a good way to make up for your camera probably not having OIS :)
Keep it up!
Aww, thank you for such a thoughtful comment! 💕 And hahah, I know, tripods are HEAVY 😅 I'll pretend that I'm going for an analogue look. To be honest, and this is a bit embarrassing to admit, I had no idea how shaky the footage would be until months later when I transferred it to the computer. Going from only photo to video is really a steep learning curve.
@@veronicaskotnes, to carry on from @florianlewanskowski186s' comments, From a purely "Tech" point of view [ you have the "artistic" side covered, as correctly stated by @florianlewanskowski186} ] instead of carrying a tripod, consider a good monopod, you'll be amazed at the difference, if held correctly, great pans can be achieved as well as steady "Locked off" shots. I would also strongly recommend considering the use of ND filters. For video, this means you can lock in a shutter angle that keeps in sync with multiples of 25 frames per second [ 25, 50, 100 and {240 not strictly a multiple of 25 but can be used on the same timeline} ] and it'll take care of the blown highlights in some of your vista shots. Blown highlights are nearly impossible to recover but recovering shadows, or blacks, can be much more successful. If you're new to video editing, might I suggest you download the free version of BlackMagic Resolve. If you have the money, purchase the Studio version as it unlocks a lot of things the free version doesn't do, and it's a one off purchase, good for a lifetime. It may well overwhelm you initially, [be assured though, very simple editing is possible as a novice] however, it's something you will grow into...and not out of, and if you keep up videoing, in 5 years, you'll be pleased you did so. Of course I have no idea of your video setup [camera etc], however, if at all possible, shoot any scenes where you think you might like to zoom in, or pan, in 6K. This gives you the ability to pan and zoom in post and then deliver in 1080 / 4K. If possible, always capture in the highest resolution you can, [at least 4K] because in years to come, you won't regret it as it'll give you a product that can be viewed in detail. In regards to possible concerns with Resolve, and your laptop maybe not being powerful enough, don't stress as Resolve allows one to edit the timeline in Proxies [at a significantly lower resolution] but still render out and deliver in 1080 / 4K. When shooting yourself in the boat, ...YOU... are the point of interest, ensure you lock off focus to show you, also expose for your complexion, don't let it blow out / under expose as it has done in some scenes. If you're shooting yourself in a backlit scenario, as at 4:59 through to 5:31, make up, from a piece of plywood or similar covered with white paper or scrunched up Aluminium foil flattened out, a light bouncing board. In relation to that scene, you would place the board in front of you so it could catch the light coming in over your left shoulder and bounce it back onto your face, thus exposing your face properly and putting a little catch light in your eye. However, there is a caveat, you WOULDN"T do that for 4:46 though to 4:59, because this is a creative choice with a voice over, [and a great one may I add] the same as some of the other internal voice over scenes. When panning, say to show how the boat looks, slow your pans right down. The rule of thumb is, ~7 secs per width of frame. If you struggle to pan slowly, up the frame rate when shooting, this way you can slow everything down in post.
You have a really good focus pull early in the vid, well done, be aware, there are a couple of other scenes that would have benefited from that same technique. If it's possible with your rig, don't be scared to use manual focus, there are a couple of scenes where the AF is hunting back and forth, thus losing the shot.
All your cuts are "hard", there are some scene changes that would benefit from a "fade" cut, nothing too long, and nothing too fancy. Also, there are a few times when your voice over [VO] comes in a little early, an example of this is at 10:35, it would have been more appropriate to come in at 10:39.
Your use of ambient and surrounding sound throughout the video is superb, as is the recording of such. I'm not sure how you you recorded it, but keep using the same method, it works!
I know you're saying that..... "you're going for the analogue look"...... as a bit tongue in cheek humour, but don't do that eh, it's an excuse too widely used these days for sloppy cinemaphotography, and you have far too much talent to waste. [As an aside, Resolve could stabilize your shaky shots with ease.]
Don't think I'm Diss'ing your work, I'm not. When I first watched your piece, I was taken by the artistic quality. I then watched it again with a more critical eye and I then decided to offer some advice, unsolicited though it may be, because you have a raw natural talent. This piece of work has the hallmark of many many [10's & 10's & 10's of ] hours of love and passion dedicated to its making. Be rest assured in the knowledge that you are you, a true individual, and an artist with a true gift. I suspect this video was made primarily for you, if so, stay true to that technique, it works.
For future reference, it's not a requirement to run the motor for an hour after doing something like you did, because once an engine reaches it's operating temperature, it won't go higher, [under normal circumstances] so when it reaches operating temperature on the temp gauge, you can safely turn it off and drain the oil.
All the best from Australia. [Where I'm working, it's often touching +48 to +50 degrees C ATM..... the cold sounds wonderful !! ]
I'll be keeping an eye out for your next effort. :)

@@alanmelvillesbicycleriding1085 Heyy, thank you for taking the time to write all these great tips, I really appreciate it!😊I actually just came across a second-hand Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k, and I can't wait to start trying it out. You won't be seeing those shots for a while though, I still have so much footage that I want to put together from last year. Until now, I've just been using my old Nikon D300s both as a video camera and as a photo camera, and it is definitely outdated in many ways. I still love it for photos, but I see that it is definitely not a video camera. It looks kind of good for the grainy indoor shots, but I think the outdoor shots fall a little flat with it, and that's where you can really tell that the quality is low. I think it shoots HD, but not more than that. The lenses I have are only manual focus lenses as well, so I see that some of the shots are completely out of focus, but it's a start. What I do like about it, though, is that I'm already setting up my Nikon for photography anyway, so it's easy to just hit record to get the same shot in video form. I think it's fun to just try it out, and then it will hopefully get better eventually. Thank you so much for the great tips, though, especially about the specific frames. It is very helpful! Have a good day over at the other side of the planet 😊
@@veronicaskotnes Regarding your Nikon, you're right, it only shoots HD, the early Nikons weren't strong on the video front. However, for a creative choice like your internal scenes, if used carefully, it can do a great job. Make sure you feed it lots of light, it'll love you for it.... :) BTW, I like Nikon, my birding setup is a late model Nikon with a Nikon tele lens.
If you're using manual lenses, either on the D300s or the BMPC 4K, stop down from fully open to help with focus, unless you truly want to isolate an object. [experiment as stopping down too far may introduce different issues] Manual focus is good because as you become more experienced, you'll be planning your shots out and you'll know what you want in and out of focus. AF is good for fast moving subjects, as an example, a bird in flight, a dolphin or seal on the move, however, I'm not sure your cameras will capture them. You'd probably be best using single point focus, and then do your best to keep the subject centralised in the frame. You only really need 3 to 6 seconds of good footage to be useful, particularly if you can change to slo-mo in post without killing the effect.
Congrats on the BMPC 4K, I think you'll love it for your style. Make sure you use the highest Bit Rate you can. I still think ND's would be a huge asset for you, but be careful, Resin isn't so good, Optical glass is best. Second-hand is king !. It's a cinema camera as you're no doubt aware, so 24 FPS is the norm. However, for your use case it's a bit limiting because over time you'll likely want to include dynamic shots [water being split by the bow, the waterfalls of Iceland, large beam-side seas, etc, for example] and then slowing those shots down. 24 FPS and low data rates limit this a little, hence my suggestion on the 25 FPS base and high Bitrate settings. Static scenes don't require high FPS or high Bit Rates, thus saving storage space.
In regards to your comment on not seeing the BMPC 4K footage for some time because you want to edit your D300s footage, no stress, use the D300s footage to learn and perfect your editing skills. Don't look at it as sub-par footage, it's not, even though it may be dated technology, its what you had at the time and its captured your memories. Polish it with an edit, its possible. Resolve will even Up-Res it from 720P to 1080P if you want. [I have tbh, I'm not entirely convinced by the up-res, but..... ]
I fully understand your point regarding having the Nikon as a dual use camera. If you'd like to have a reasonably priced unit that does both well, look at the Panasonic GH6.....welcome to the bottomless money pit of cinemaphotography....... although I think you may well be aware of that as I think I spotted a tele lens in the background in the boat, and of course, you'll know "BOAT" is an acronym for 'Bring On Another Thousand'.......[insert your local currency]....... :) I own both, cameras and a yacht, and therefore use a bicycle to get around. I can't afford tyres for it and the chain is busted, but its great on downhill sections, even though the brakes are worn out and don't work.......... I'd love to do it up, but I need another winch handle and I dropped my memory card over the side........so....... :)
Good luck and Fair Winds.
Al.
If you shoot half of your footage on a boat, you can buy a $1000 tripod and it’s still going to be shaky. Image stabilisation can only do so much. And at least it looks natural and not like a 3D computer animation so I’d just embrace it and make it my style.
I think this may be the best you tube video I’ve ever watch. From start to finish was captivating, beautiful, calming and amazing!! I hope that one day in the future you have the opportunity to share with us a feature length film. Go well.
Incredible. The endeavor and lifestyle itself, and the portrayal. Well done.
Wonderful and amazing, much respect and appreciation.
Thank you Veronica. A beautiful insight of your life.
So impressed by this video! beautiful cinematography
Please keep going. This was lovely. I'm sure you will build an audience quickly. Best of luck over the winter. :)
Geniet en pluk de dag,herinneringen.
Daar gaat het om.
Behouden vaart 🎉
This was amazingly relaxing, I hope you share more of your adventures with us!
It's truly amazing how you make me feel a lonely calmness that I've been yearning for. I live in Florida and have seen every beach in the quietest season and coolest weather but I have never really found it as peaceful like this, I've always sought places with the harshest of weather, the loudest thunder storm , windiest blizzard.
Thank you for taking the time to show a piece of the world very few will ever see. 😊
This has been fantastic. Thank you!
Your storytelling is captivating and your warmth on camera is inspiring, may the sessions and wind forever be in your favour! From one sailor to another, safe passage 🏴☠️
Veronica you are such an inspiration, you are doing an amazing job and the video is magical, just like everything you do. Also I can’t believe how brave you are, sailing all alone so remotely. I’m getting a panic attack every night before we cross the Baltic Sea on our boat - in high summer, with at least one other crew member (not counting our 7 year old and a baby 😅).
Very nice video, superb sights and an interesting combination of calm cooking and the fifty nots anchorage!
If you get a chance, a boat tour and history would be awesome.
Veronica, I don't speak English at all. I live on a boat in North Africa and dream of having my own blog.
I haven't seen anything like your work.
Please keep it up!👍
As some have already written here. Incredible talent for framing, colors and mood. One of the best and most honest videos about sailing. Love it.
Really beautiful footage and edited with such lovely pacing. We look forward to enjoying more of your videos!
Really beautiful video, simple but yet deep with emotions keep the good work keep the consistency.
thanks for leaving big space for silence
Great suggestion by RUclips. They know this content is gold from the start. Best of luck Veronica
Very... cozy and poetic. Good footage. Good diary narrative. Very inspiring
Yes! I've been a fan of your instagram for a while where you've talked about doing RUclips. So happy you're finally doing it! Not to put any pressure on you but I'd love to see you do a tour of your boat! I'm saving up for a boat of my own right now and I plan on doing some cold water cruising. It would be great to know what I need to look for in a boat!
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours…..
What a beautiful way to share your experience with the world,
Definitely subscribed! 😊
Well done. Images, voice, framing….. situaition, landscaping. Impresive.😊
Can't wait to watch more..this was wonderful
Wow! What an adventure! Thank you for sharing it.🙏🏻
Great video. Beautiful scenery. Thanks ☀️
Wonderful video! Caught me immediately! Thank you! ❤
What a wonderful and heartfelt, well written narrative. Thank you for sharring the experience of your journeys so beautifully.
Just wow!
Love it. Thanks!
Loved your video. Thank you
This was so incredibly beautifully done, I hope you share more of your journey.
Amazing!
this comforts me a lot. thank you Veronica
Great video! I love how genuine it is. I can’t wait to see your next video.
What a treat to watch this. A true gem - very much looking forward to more videos!
Wow. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing,
Great job, love how you tell a story.
Superb film, thank you 👏👏👏
Wonderful! I enjoyed this.
I once had 14 lines on my halibut boat for a storm that came through Dutch Harbor in August one year. And every one mattered. Fortunately the bull rails on the float finger held.
Here in Cordova (Alaska) a number of years ago a winter storm came up and broke the wooden bull (mooring) rails a friend's 58' salmon seine vessel was tied to and she ended up on her side on an adjoining island outside the harbor. Good thing your cleats on your float were large and strong! Congratulations on your fine vessel and your choice to sail!
PS---You've probably heard by now, but a flapper valve (one way) installed in your exhaust line next to your through-hull fitting will prevent such a disaster as you experienced from happening again. Or you could just install a two way valve (open and shut) that you can close in such conditions as you encountered at the float in Gjesvær.
Wonderful, just wonderful❤
Amazing.
Beautifully done.
Absolutely beautiful
Finally a true sailing channel, subscribed and looking forward to watching all previous and future episodes.
This video was fantastic - you have a wonderful way of telling the story and capturing the scenery and your way of live through video - looking forward to the next one.
The scenery looks similar to our coastline in south west Tasmania.
Wow, what a brilliant video. Beautiful, lovely voice over and a nice pace. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I share the reality of a broken motor on my yacht in the middle of nowhere, but at the opposite climate. I'm at a remote village in Fiji. Very disheartening. No one to help, no parts or tool shops, freight costs horrendous. And so so hot it can be hard to break out out of lethargy. Nice to see that you were able to fix yours; you've given me hope!
Good luck with yours! It's such a disheartening situation to be in. Wish I could do more to help, but sending you the best of luck from the other side of the world
This video gives me so much peace and happiness. Thank you! Can’t wait for more to come 💙🌊
We loved this one Veronica 😊💙 the whole video turned out so nice! And the voiceover as well 😃🙌
Thanks, that was beautiful. There was a real sense of connection..
This is amazing!! Great video!
Admirable
pure inspiration. Thak you for the video
Bravo. Lovely, peaceful, beautiful video. 👏❤️
Fantastic, impressive, inspiring. Thank you
Wonderfully crafted, and deeply enjoyed. I sincerely look forward to further episodes 🙏
Absolutely superb video
Beautiful video. Spectacular scenery and calm narrative. Well done.
Absolutely awesome videos , thanks for sharing your brave adventures and testing experiences . You are an amazing young woman . Congratulations , so brave .
It is a beautiful area and also rather wild. I really enjoyed the way you narrate the story, Veronica. I look forward to watching the rest of your travels. Thank you for sharing .
