Time-lapsed film from the perspective of a train moving slowly down the railroad tracks.
Cinematography
Single hypnotic tracking shot, no cuts, pure commitment.
Sound
Clack-clack rhythm becomes weirdly emotional ASMR.
Direction
Skallerud made 4 minutes feel like eternity, intentionally.
Director
Morten Skallerud

Skallerud shot this on actual abandoned rail lines in Norway, using a specialized camera rig mounted to a small maintenance vehicle.
