Greenland in Winter

[TheURL]

Last March I did a short trip to north-east Greenland, and made These Two Short Films. The view counts prove the influence of YT algorithms over quality as I don't believe these are any better or worse than any other films I've made. But as anyone who knows me will know, I don't give a sh*t either way - it's just an observation. I was lucky enough to be approached by a German TV producer who bought 48 seconds of my footage (some of it was used in my film, some was not) for use in a film he was making about the role of Polar Bear patrols. The documentary was aired on the ARTE channel in German - subtitles are on the ARTE on-demand site. Warhol said we get 15 minutes of fame - I got 48 seconds!

Wow, it's great to be approached like that, even for a short clip, nice one.

It was - probably the first and last time it will ever happen to me. To be precise, it was about 4 or 5 clips totalling 48 seconds. I think he paid me about $10 per second so it was worth having.

$480 isn't bad.
