Such an amazing collaboration Oliver! Was an honour to be part of this project!! 🙏🏻
This film was... BRILLIANT!!!! I was engaged from the beginning to the very end. Well done to all involved. Thank you.
Woah, I really adore Gealdýr may the gods protect you ⚔️
Thank you!
May the gods protect you too ❤️ stay safe ❤️
@@sannihelanen511 The Gods are with me and Odin above me to guide me, may the gods bring you all the happiness ⚔️

Came for Gealdýr's music, stayed for the incredible landscapes and the wonderful cinematography! There is not much storytelling to be done considering the movie's short length, but the themes of death and a man's search for the divine are nonetheless perfectly encapsulated. Truly a great tribute to the Viking legends and the Old Norse mythos in general.
Your honour us! Thank you for your kind words! Pleased you enjoyed it! Do consider checking out our latest project which will be longer in length and Fantasy genre called Gallowmere.

Gealdyr is collaborating with us again for some beautiful music!
My Gods Gealdýr sounds absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ vid it self is well made. Respect 😘👍💪
Thank you!!!
Absolutely amazing ! - PERFECT ! By the gods - the story line, the beautiful landscapes and atmosphere ( Where is this being recorded ? - I have to experience that place. ), the acting, and the music. What a perfect combination of greatnesses ! WOW
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to watching this evening!
Really pleased you enjoyed it!
@@patrickwalsh8191 Hope you enjoy!
Brilliant.
Come from Gealdýr's perfect Valravn album that I listened shortly before. Thsi is awesome.
Thank you very much! we both enjoyed our collaboration!
I liked this film's mythos - the warrior as a lost soul seeking redemption through death and, finally, the Allfather granting his wish. I wondered for a while if he was a valravn himself - the raven who consumes the body of one slain in battle could sometimes turn into a kind of knight, a soul in search of redemption. There were layers to this story that I wish could have been explored.
What a awesome short film i can just imagine what you could achieve given the funding please make more content like this
Thank you for your kind words! Do check out the companion piece Voluspa which follows on from this.
Also we are embarking on an original fantasy film called Gallowmere! Check out the trailer for that on the channel!

Isn't redemption and limbo more of a Christian than Heathen thing? That aside, truly amazing mountain scenery, great atmosphere. And of course, wonderful music. Hej, from the north of Sweden.
Very kind of you to day!

I just stumbled across this and it's absolutely incredible! Great job, can I ask what gear you used for filming?
Very kind words! Thank you 🙏
Do check out the companion piece called Voluspa.
Both Valravn and Voluspa were shot with a mixture of the GH5 and BMPC4k + Meike lens 16mm/24mm
Since then we are embarking on a fantasy feature called Gallowmere! Check out the trailer!
This one was a little easier to follow with but again i had a few questions that were not able to be answered by watching it

Strange how everything in those days was in slow motion.
How times have changed :)
This put me to sleep in a good way! The setting and music is amazing.
Very kind of you 🙏
Your profile picture is amazing
@@velociraptor911 thank you!
@@Rickie_Speed I googled "odin painting" but I couldn't find it. Where can I find it?
@@velociraptor911 it isn’t Odin. This is Radagast The Brown from Middle Earth!
Loved the film , but wondering why the Runes you give spell FAOLUN in stead of VALRAVN, which would look like this: ᚹᚨᛚᚱᚨᚹᚾ
The ruins weren't specific but random! Will update Valravn with the new ruins! Could you do the same for Voluspa! Thank you
The fact that i have the same cloak for my valravn halloween costume amazes me
Helblade...
some inspiration :)
Both of your shorts are very impressive! Well done. Where did you shoot this one?
Hello good sir! North of England, where did you shoot yours?

Thank you for your humble words!
song?
Which one? There are many
@@OliverHollingdale the first one
Gealdyr's music and the scenery are the only good things about this thing lol
Spongebob Square pants on Netflix might be more your thing 🙃
Does anything actually happen in this short film?
If you are not versed with Norse Mythology & poetry, understandings of the lyrics in the music then it will go over your head
@@OliverHollingdale I know some things about Norse mythology and I know the premise of this tale. Doesn't change that almost nothing is happening in this short film. Apart from that: of course I can't understand the lyrics of the music, I don't speak the language.
@@Ambar42 we are about to embark on a Fantasy film, tell us what you would like to see us do going forward, more action, dialogue drama? VFX? always looking to improve!
@@OliverHollingdale More action would be great. And remember to make the choreographies look realistic, so that it doesn't look like a harmless fight for fun or like an all-planned performance.
VFX is of course important for any fantasy project, but I can't give any advice other than to hire someone who's good at compositing so that the effects don't look artificial and fit into the scene.
I think the atmospheric usage of landscape shots are your biggest strength. Definitely keep on doing that for your next work.
But remember to not make it too much about the atmosphere. Much of this film here is silence or rather just (phenomenal) music. "Show, don't tell" of course is important but in most cases for proper dramaturgy you need some dialogues.
@@Ambar42 Short films are double edge swords, they can be harder than feature films as you have so very little time to condense, the points you made out are exactly what we are aware of and will be applied going forward!
Depressing
In a good way right? ;)
Not really. Amazing scenery and music though.
@@kenstofft3230 it's an acquired taste, Norse poetry are often ominous and melancholic
