Remixable video of Norway's four seasons from a train

Cory Doctorow at 7:40 pm Tue, Jan 15, 2013

Eirik Solheim is an amazing geek and CC activist at NRK, the Norwegian public broadcaster. He writes, "We filmed a train ride four times. One time for each season; winter, spring, summer and autumn. Then we used an accurate GPS-track to sync the four videos using some clever programming in combination with after effects. Giving us endless possibilities for spectacular video footage. You can watch it on the web, but we have also made it available for everyone to download in full HD -- and licensed it with Creative Commons so that you can edit, remix and share!"

Nordlandsbanen: minute by minute, season by season (Thanks, Eirik!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

  Same people!
  
  We also did the Coastal Express “Hurtigruten”; 5 days aboard a ship up the north coast of Norway: http://nrkbeta.no/2011/06/16/hurtigruten-eng/ – it is now in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s longest TV documentary

  well spotted :) It was kept constant for artistic purposes – a changing sky can be quite dominant.
