Cinematographer Bjarke Hvorslev and Kristian Kettner embarked on a 6 day trip to Iceland to film a stunning short film dedicated to the majesty of nature’s wonders. The film was shot using a Sony A7R II mirrorless camera mounted to a Phantom DJI Phantom 4 drone.

The HD footage sends the viewer soaring into the sky and provides a literal bird’s eye view of vast geological plains and postcard pretty sights that can be found on the sparsely populated island.

Ice & Fire was mostly filmed in 4K resolution using ND / Pol filters from PolarPro and D-Log settings. Although retrospectively, the duo would consider using D-Cinelike because they mention that the Phantom codec was unable to process so much compression.

Regardless, the final product is a masterfully crafted drone film that also shows off the video editing prowess of the creative team behind it.
