Valkyrie - Prewiz reel (Norwegian/English Film Project)

A 8 minute english language Prewiz Trailer Reel for a Norwegian SuperNatural/Horror/Myth/Viking/Vampire story. This trailer was made to support the script when making connections for possible budget participants. The shots in this is NOT from any half-done, or ready movie at all. It's basically just playing with the camera capturing scenes from the script.

This Valkyrie reel was shot during Summer 2003 with the help of local friends and cost about 1500 NOK.. thats like $238.
All editing, music and effects was done by Stone Oakvalley Studios.

Regards Stone Oakvalley and Heidi Veland Jensen

UPDATE AUG 2007:
This project as now been aborted/obsoleted and is superseded by the new "Ylva - the girl, the woman, the wolf" project which is based on the original script but the heart of the story changes from Valkyries to a new manmade monster.

Valkyrie was sent by the as-gods to transfer fallen norsewarriors to the steps of valhalla. The greatest honor any viking could get was to be choosen for there courage and and fightingskilla. Dont understand how you can make them into vampires and flesheaters

[StoneOakvalley]

The understanding is called fiction. Mix of concepts to try and explore something different of vampires, flesheaters and tranferrers and the outcome.

The Valkyries are minor Norse deities who choose the bravest fallen warriors and carry them to Valhalla where they become einherjar (spirits of dead warriors). They don't eat them. Nor do they drink their blood.

By "chooser of the slain" they didn't mean anything lilke vampires or atures to be feared. To be chosen by a Valkyrie is a thing of great honor. They literally meant "chooser of the slain"

[Branstock]

@farbrorbla There is also a "dark side" known about valkyries. That they have been sent to kill as the Nibelungs legend says, Brunhild has been sent for Odin himself to kill Siegmund and Sieglind.

yeah i follow the asatru, not cool man

[CarminaBarritus]

I agree with the other posters here, you portray the Valkyrie as some kind of evil characters out of an American horror movie and only serves to demonize pagan beliefs. The Valkyrie were very similar to Morrighan, yes they were not angelic types but they encapsulated the fury of battle and linked the brave warriors that they choose to the afterlife. They were feared but they weren't evil, in fact their full fury was usually directed against wrong doers rather than a Christian forgiveness.

It's called movie making, and every singe picture since the 18th century have been with false proof, horned helmets, and horse riding vikings.
