Figure Skating In The Frozen Arctic Circle Red Bull Ice Skating

Always love the Finnish nature. It really actually sucks that in Helsinki the winter is really bad. I really miss the good like snowy days. At the moment we're in Norge, the northest part of Europe. The weather has been, for two days, it was a little not so great. It's just a complete opposite of your daily ice rink ice. It's totally different with the wind. You have to be careful when you jump or something that you're not crooked. I was a little scared with the jumping and everything. But then when I just pushed through and went for it, it turned out great. I started skating at two years old. We were skating with my brothers at an outdoor ice. And I really wanted skates, so my mom got me skates. And that's how it started. We've been working on the project for a year. Baby steps towards this moment. We got Totep to compose a song for this. When we started putting together ideas for the song, let's try to make something new out of it. So bring some more electronic parts and mixing music stuff. Really glad to have Tote on this project. I think it's really cool that we mixed with violin and almost like a beat drop. I didn't want the whole classical music that you hear every day in an ice rink. This is our first version of the song. This is so cool! Savaka is making my skating music. Yeah. It's really good. I'm so happy. That it was so good. Will you send it to me? I'll send it to you. We're in Norway and this is like the northest point of Finland. And actually one of the northest points in Europe as well. We wanted to find decent looking scenery. Like let's come to Lapland. So you can see miles away. So being here with all the snow and just light is so beautiful and the northern lights. I'm really happy that I get to experience this. It was a bit challenging to find the location because the winter has been super warm. So all the lakes are not frozen in the southern part of Finland. We have to go there for an hour. It's a really high thing. Yeah, we have that moment. You can just go. Thank you! Put your jacket on! We have a pretty good setup with our team here. For the first is Anton, who is the DP. I would like to see more of the top view. Let's get that view. Anton, we have a background of doing a couple of music videos and commercials. This is actually the first time I'm filming figure skating. For this shoot we actually have quite a lot of things. We're lighting up the night scenes with drones. We have LED lights and some different colors up in there. With the main camera I'm shooting with Ari and I have a gimbal. And most of the shots I'm doing is on the ice. So I'm with the ice skates too. So I'm following up Emmi's movement. They approached us with this really cool idea to shoot Emmi using a LED drone. The bottom idea was like, what if there would be northern lights? And how would it look on the ice at the moment? But I think it looks even cooler with that light. And we can basically build a dance between Emmi and the light. We specialize mainly in heavy lift cinema camera rigs. And it's four times 100 watt LEDs. You got a pilot and then a camera OP. Putting the ice together here, it was a bit of a challenge. Because it's like, we don't have any trampolines. It's all handmade. My dream has always been to skate outdoors. And just a whole different thing than skating in an ice rink. I feel like it's such a dream for a figure skater. To be in this kind of setting. And this morning it was like a pink sky. And we're skating on outdoor ice. It's like straight from like a fantasy. I don't know. I'm just doing my thing, they're doing their thing. Like the choreography between the camera and the lights. And Emmi for example, it hasn't been a problem. Because she's super easy. We're just basically like drawing the lines on the snow. And like, let's try this. I can just look it through my eyes. How I can experience it and how do I feel it should look. I don't want it to be like, just shot from some distance. And have a long tripod. I really want the audience to get like, almost chills. I feel like when everything comes together, it's just a really beautiful moment.
