Under an Arctic Sky - Behind the Scenes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2017
- Before Under An Arctic Sky was even an idea or a film it was a love affair with surfing in cold water. Over the last decade Chris Burkard (Director &) Ben Weiland (DP) traveled across the globe seeking out waves in some of the coldest and most remote conditions on the planet. Why would anyone ever want to surf in cold water one might ask? Simple.. to thrust ourselves out of the safe and the routine, the familiar and known, and to hopefully create a space where the unknown can occur. Under an Arctic Sky was this unknown.
We endured the largest storm Iceland had seen in 25 years and we began to question whether this trip was doomed for failure from the start… There were so many moments while filming for where we should have called it quits. Like when our car got stuck in an avalanche, Renan Ozturk got 25 stitches from a drone or when the surfers had ice forming around their wetsuit while surfing at 1 am in the Arctic Circle. The best projects always require you to suffer a little bit, and that is exactly what we did.

Looking back at age 69, I realize I spent most of my life staying safe. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing adventures, so even old ladies like me can live vicariously! Please don't take any unnecessary risks, though. The world needs more people like you. May God bless you and keep you safe and strong.
I think of this film nearly every time I suit up and jump in the cold water to surf in the ice. So inspiring.
Wow, you've created a new genre -- extreme photography
8:55 I can feel that moment, as most of other photographers & videographers. Awesome!
The shots with the northern light and the surfers is the most epic scenery I have ever witnessed. Holy moly
One word.....EPIC!
🙏
This video makes me insanely happy. Thanks Chris for your continued hard work to bring us the best of the best adventures
This is incredible. Fantastic team effort. Thank you and your team for showing us what passion is about and what can it get you!
Upset that I'm 2 years late to this...but so so grateful you shared a piece of your adventure with us!!!!
This should have millions of views!!🪴💜
Awwwwh, that is amazingly and profoundly beautiful!
Unbelievable!!! Tones of work! Thank you so much for motivation! Good job!
Wow. Goosebumps.... really glad your pumping out content on RUclips lately, Chris.
Absolutely love it. Love filming when the going gets tough 😊 Beautifully done Chris!
Incredible!
Absolutely loved the film, watched it a number of times now and always in awe of the landscape, northern lights and the remoteness!
We were in Lofoten back in August and were one of the fortunate ones who caught a screening of this film in Unstad. Getting to see this film in that setting was unbelieveable! So inspired man! Hope your shoulder healed up
Incredible ! Hats off to you guys...what a dedication towards your work...Feeling totally inspired...
Where have I been all my life!! What have I done all my life!! You and your team are such an inspiration. It leaves me a lump in my throat.
This film is so inspirational, thank you guys for going into this adventure!
Great film man, really enjoyed it. It's awesome how there's still humble people like you in this world. Your passion and uncertainty of danger combined truly creates a work of art. Under An Arctic Sky is a great example of the work of art that a group of passionate people can make. Hope to continue seeing films like that. 🌊🤙
Ive watched Under the Artic Sky so many times. Its such an inspiring film!!!! Thanks so much for making it guys. I am from Southern Aus and our sort of cold water surfing rocks, cant wait to surf Iceland!!!!!
Goodness. It's hard to put words to how amazing, inspiring, and empowering this is.
WOW!! Thanks for sharing!!
Best movie expédition so far !!!!
So incredible. Beautiful work.
Amazing!
So good. Its that once in a life time shoot, thanks for showing us what it took.
Yassss. I've been waiting for this (since I live in Tucson). Most people have their dreams and live in the day to day-myself included. Working in a career and going to grad school, I've been dreaming about the end of that. The end of the in between, where you're too busy. The part where you buy the ticket, learn the people, see the places this world has to offer. Thank you for helping me focus on the real things. The things that remind me why I am where I am, and where I'll be soon, after the in-between. I love your work, and the work of everyone you work with. You keep me reminded. You keep me grounded.
Wow. Incredible
Really rad stuff, Chris. Makes me want to leap outside my comfort zone and just go for it!
Its kind of insane than the movie itself! so true things in all of your eyes!

Great film! Watched it a few weeks ago on iTunes. Enjoyed getting to see some of the bts of the project.
This is EPIC
I can't wait to travel and make videos like this man. You've inspired me!
Awesome
This is a terrific
Great to dive into this story a bit more. First saw your film at the Florida Surf Film Fest in Cocoa Beach. Stunning picture. I'm sure glad you all decided to ride it out.
Awesome video...super glad i got to watch it from home wearing shorts. The best photographers/videographers get the shots others aren't willing to take!
It's amazing, a cold paradise, congrats Chris, I'm keep following you on Instagram, hugs from Brazil.
Motivating ideas on what we can do if we put our mind to it...thanks !
_The Beauty of Nature_
wonderful and crazy :)
wow amazing !!
Very impressiv! Keep it up!
Keep it up legends!
So bad ass man! Looks like an amazing adventure!! 🔝 🔥
I have tried to see this film. Missed it in Boulder by one hour. Missed it in Hermosa Beach by one day. Tried to arrange business travel so I could stop into the studio in Pismo but had a conflicting meeting in LA. When I finally see the film, it will be epic!!!
kvanoort you can watch it on iTunes!
yeah, RED EPIC not SONY A7s
Netflix now
Chris. Thanks for sharing. This is more interesting than the film itself. I guess you now understand how ill prepared you were that time :)) This story is a text-book how not to travel and shoot in Iceland. But at the end you were rewarded for you stubbornness (in a good sense). Surfing under Aurora was really cool :)
PS. I was sure that shot was a real one (although a couple of F-stops darker in reality but anyway real).
Timing and determination :)
This is incredible 👌
Man you have inspired me! I am going to do this one day! only photographer understand the lengths we will go for a photo! Mad respect man!!
Hair raising, inspirational #badassery stuff!
One my fave films but this behind the scenes is the cherry on top. Love the story!
You guys are f$&@!?% crazy!! Awesome stuff!!
Awesome! Really wanna watch the movie now :)
Wooooooooooooooooooooooow been following since day one this is genuinely fucking amazing
Wow
Inspiring dude !
Seriously good 👌🏻
👏i'm glad you have a committed team/group of friends. Glad everyone is safe. Congrats on realizing one of your visions, not an easy task. Did you guys jump around in awe when you saw the lights? I felt like a kid when i saw them but sadly i opted to go sans camera, so memories are all i have which come rushing back everytime i see a photo or vid of the lights.
wow.
My goal in the next two years is to go to Iceland or somewhere freezing at do some surf filming and polar plunges Wim Hof style
Fuck!! there is always something that happens to Renan, I have seen videos from TNF, and the same thing. Everything happens to him! I hope he is well now, and I wish him the best of luck, Great video Chris! this is magnificent!
I want to go but I don't want to go --- Classic!
I'm inspired as fuck.
Thank you so much for all the inspiration Chris! I bought the movie, now i can't wait to watch it!!!
