snowmobile | Sina in Finland

The last week and weekend, we enjoyed the calm before the storm. 😉 We went Snowmobiling again and also we did Husky sleigh riding. And all of that in Rovaniemi. It was really nice to see the city and surroundings from a snowmobile and husky sleigh. It definitely makes more fun, then by bike. 😀
It was a lot of fun. haha and we also got caught by the snowmobile police. They checked our alcohol level 😀 It was my very first police control!

Florian and me also started to select the footage for our videos. Now we “only” have 30Gb of footage for the commercial video left and we will see how much for our documentary video. Right now we are finishing up most of the projects, so that we are able to actually think about our bachelor thesis. We will have to hand in our project description very soon….

And despite that, the weather is changing pretty fast. The sun is shining from 6am until 8:30pm now already! And the snow is almost gone, there is only icy snow left everywhere. But this means, Spring is here. We will have to adapt to the change of the environment. As sad as I am that the snow is leaving us, I am also looking forward for some sunny days with green trees and blue sky.

And last but not least, in good remembrance:

Hey guys. I am back in Rovaniemi. I spent the last four days in Ylläs with the participants of the “Arctic Inspiration Workshop”. Flo and me had to film them during those 4 days. We will have to make a commercial video for Safartica. That´s an organisation who offers different kinds of tourist tours and attractions in Ylläs and also here in Rovaniemi. And we also have to make a documentary film about the course itself. So lots of work for us. We shot about 140GB of footage… I am kind of afraid to start looking through all of it, but I hope if we start it will go easier than expected.

The four days where full of fun activities! Most of them we could not really participate in, because we had to film. But we did not let us take to drive the snowmobiles. That was so much fun. Unbelievable nice to feel the speed again. 🙂 We also visited a husky farm. I was really looking forward for this, but in the end I was kind of brought to reality again. The dogs were tied to iron chains and smelled like they where ill. The minute I came there, I wanted to leave. But after some time, and as I was alone with them, they calmed down a little bit and I could actually enjoy the time with these animals. I really miss my pets. It´s strange how much animals are able to give.

The students also did snow shoe wandering and cross-country skiing. We made salmon again 😉 and yeah it was a pretty awesome time again. On Wednesday Flo and I have to meet with Safartica to discuss the commercial video footage. Let´s see. So now we will have to look through the material and start working on the editing and color correction and so on. Lots of work. Finally.
