VIDEO FEATURE: Bardu is the title of the latest unconventional view of Norway by artist Kristian Larsen, whose innovative Oslo in motion video got a lot of reader-viewer attention earlier this year. This time, Larsen is using his trademark time-lapse technique to portray his hometown of Bardu. For improved view, see instructions below.
Encompassing a total area of 2700 square kilometers, Bardu is known for its vast forests, majestic mountains and rich wildlife, symbolized by the wolverine adorning its coat of arms.
“A five-minute video is incapable of capturing all the spectacular sides of Bardu,” Larsen wrote in his presentation on Vimeo, a video-sharing site. “But that was never the intention of this project. Rather, the video should be regarded as an appetizer, taking you on a fast and epic journey through some of Bardu’s landscapes and scenery, thereby providing a hint of what the place has to offer.”
The soundtrack on the Bardu video is called “Globus.” It was created by composer Mark Petrie.
