Northern Skies 4K (Cello Version, 2024)

This is an update of my Film Northern Skies where the Cello in the Music track was played by Georg Roither, a professional cellist at the German Opera in Berlin.

The difference to the synth cello that I used in the original film is night and day and I really love it so much – I still get goosebumps every time I listen to it! I hope you enjoy the new Music as much as I do! 🤗

Make sure to activate 4K Quality on YouTube and best use headphones!

The music was composed and played by myself on the piano in one take, then, in the first version of the video, I added a synth cello. This was a premiere for me: the first time I composed and played my own soundtrack for a video. I think it adds a very personal aspect to the film and I really hope you like both, the music and the images.

Some time after I published the video, Georg Roither contacted me and and offered to play the cello on a real cello (actually, a more than 100 years old cello worth 6 figures, as I found out!). So he visited me at my home and played along with my music.

As you can imagine, it was such an honor to have a Georg visiting me with his cello and playing my music!

Editing and rendering of the timelapses was all done on a full raw-file-basis in LRTimelapse Pro. The single clips were exported as 6K Prores files and the final video cut in 4K.

It’s just amazing to see the extraordinary quality that can be achieved with this rather simple and quick workflow – even back then in 2016. Now in 2024 we have LRTimelapse 6 which delivers even better quality and allows for an even simpler workflow.
