We crazy Scandinavians... (fun with water and ice)
I still can't get my head around this one, how did they manage to keep everything close to the ice?

It's actually filmed at the town where I spent three years in college.

And then on the other side of the ice:

Buoyancy. Floating things (like air, and air-filled balance vests) generate hydrostatic lift and thus push the divers up toward the ice. Same with the air in the buckets and the (unbelievably) wheelbarrow, which started to sink quite fast after the air was poured off it.

Kudos for not getting disoriented and being able to walk like that on the underside of the ice.

There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

I know, but still, I didn't expect them to be able to walk on the ice, I thought it would look more like walking on the moon. Additionally, the sleigh seems to be in contact with the ice all the time as well. I wonder how many takes did it require to shoot this film.

I bet that's what aliens from Eupora see their world as.

The First one was awesome! The Second was even crazier! The guy sure does have some guts to do that.
A small voice in my head tells me they are have followed us here in the Milky Way. They follow us until we are dead at their feet. We are nomands of the stars, no longer the race that was loved by the Great Elders. My name is Kyral and this is my story of survival.

There is no sanctuary for us, in this Universe. We will fight the Terror for one last time on this Shining World. May the Transcendent judge us kindly in the Life Stream.

In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.
