Minn Heima, Hringvegur à Gong

This is my entry for the Sigur Rós contest on Youtube: Minn Heima.

#uptade
Thank you so much for all tha amazing comments. This contest is now over and I've had the immense pleasure to get the second place.

I didn't want to use the clips given on their site because I didn't know how to give them justice. I chose to use some of them in my own way, with paint and pastels. The idea was to walk backward to the music itself and what it means the moment you hear it. I did no plan about this film, I just drew with what was on the paper. Everything, except a few short clips are in stop motion. Which means now I have to clean my room because there's paint everywhere on the floor!
I hope you will enjoy watching it as much as I loved making it. This took me two weeks of work between classes but I felt it was my way to give back. This is my first stop motion film. I've always wanted to try this and this was the good reason for a first step.
Now I let you watch.

Sorry for the quality. I'm trying to get a better one before the end of the contest!

I'm from Iceland like Sigur Rós..

but their music makes my ears bleed, and they all talk like they have some kind of problems.

Sigur Rós is a horrible band.. I'd have a better time listening to some horrible loud screaming.

Then do.

This is your first Stop Motion film?? Man what a great first effort! That's a lot of work in just two weeks and in your spare time. Good job!

[justfairy]

yes it is. I have a lot of ideas in my mind to make others but it's just hard to start! ;-)

[etaneplays]

Well done! Perhaps my favorite song by them.

A great work. At the beginning I thought some frames were missing but soon you know the concept. Great universe of sigur ros!

I haven't got any project for you right now. But if this happens I really like to have your email to contact you. Would be for German television.
