Experience the silence of nature
The Silence Films
The Silence of Nature
The Silence Films is the most essential part of my Silence project. In a serie of short films you can experience the silence of nature. It is my hope that these nature films will create more awareness about the importance of our undisturbed places with natural silence.
Through this serie of films I will present nature at its most natural. To fully capture the authentic atmosphere of the places I will combine the visuals with detailed soundscapes. No music or artificial sound effects will be used in the films only the songs from nature’s own sound library. To make the experience as natural as possible both the audio and video will be recorded in some of nature’s most undisturbed places. Further, I will keep the editing as simple as possible without any fancy transitions or other special effects. Learn more about my filmwork on Terralapse.com and Timelapsefilm.dk

“Check out The Silence Project by Nature photographer and film maker Casper Rolsted. Spellbinding series of natural landscapes in ultra-HD.”
“This is freaking beautiful. The lack of music really amplifies the visuals here.”
“Thank you for this beautiful piece. It is tranquility at its finest. Thank you for bringing me a moment of Zen with your video. I am in a tricky place in life and you gave me a gift.”
“Too often when we discover a video of fanatic landscapes it also includes some loud, overwrought music that sometimes feels out of place. That isn’t the case with this beautiful clip, which takes us to the Italian Dolomites for a stunning look at this amazing part of the world. But rather than shoehorning in an inappropriate soundtrack, this video uses the natural sounds of nature found in the mountains. The result is something more tranquil and pleasing. For the full effect, throw on a pair of headphones. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Our days are often so perfectly planned, with every hour pinned to some responsibility or activity, that it’s sometime difficult to even think about saving a few shards of time here or there for spontaneity. But not right now. Whatever you had previously budgeted for the next seven minutes of your life can wait. The “Silence of the Dolomites” awaits, and it’s worth every second of the next 420.”

“A friend an I were watching this and I told her, “We probably won’t watch all of this. It’s 14 minutes long.” Before you know it we had watched the whole thing, ooohin and aaahing, and it felt like 5 minutes! Thanks for this sublime gift!”
“Such an incredible and inspiring video Casper. I really like the combination of breathtaking aerial shots and time lapses. The authentic atmosphere from the undisturbed nature makes it an unique journey trough Norway’s incredible scenery. Well done!”
