On location in Svalbard, Norway
In search for new urban spots Jesper Tjäder, Aleksander Aurdal og Even Sigstad travelled to the sixth Northernmost settlement in the world, Barentsburg. Shooting urban skiing at 78 degrees north sounds crazy, and it really was a crazy trip. Barentsburg is a Russian settlement at Spitsbergen, an island close to the North pole. Although Svalbard is under the Norwegian government, Barentsburg is a true Russian town. It lies only 60 km away from the Norwegian settlement at Svalbard, but they have no connection with each other. It turned out to be one of Field Productions most unique shoots of all time.

You can see the result in the full length film releasing November 2013, and also be sure to check out the behind the scenes series coming this fall for a sneak peak of what to expect. In the meantime you can see the photos on the right.

Thanks to everyone involved for making this trip happen!

New project in the works
We are proud to announce that we are in the making of a full length film to be released November 2013. With two years in the making, this will be the biggest production in Field Productions history.

In the past eight years Field Productions has released ski films each fall. The latest project Being There (October 2011) won several international awards and it got great feedback world wide. The project had a total reach to over 5 million people. The time has come to put even more hours of hard work into documenting skiing and its personalities through an exciting two-year journey. To fulfill our ideas and goals we need more than one year to work with.

Behind the scenes web series
To keep you up to date of the production there will be released a behind the scenes web series both the fall of 2012 and the fall of 2013.

The athletes
We are fortunate to work with a group of hard working athletes who knows what it takes to get a best possible result. Here are a few quotes from some of them regarding the project:

I like the concept of a two-year project. It demands more, but opens a more complex storyline. It is a cool thing to follow athletes and their ideas, and see how they evolve and progress in a bit bigger setting. – Åsmund Thorsen

Everything we do together is with a goal to produce footage that will blow away the audience. With two years in the making we finally get the time to capture the best possible footage. – Even Sigstad and Jesper Tjäder

Two-year projects are hard, but if you do it right, it can be really sick for sure. I’m definitely in to work with Field Productions and get some bangers for this project. – Tom Wallisch

It means more time for our crew to get every shot we want, and hopefully end up with a result that will get people smiling and turn some heads, both on skiing and cinematography. – Aleksander Aurdal

On location in Oslo, Norway
Urban skiing has always been a big part of our productions. This year we have been mainly shooting urban features in the eastern part of Norway with Even Sigstad, Jesper Tjäder and snowboarder Torstein Horgmo.
