    To the Moon and Back - Offical Music Video

    The music video “To the Moon and Back (I Love You)” by WITCHSEASON traces an intimate journey of reconnecting with one’s inner child - that tender, vulnerable part within us that still longs for unconditional love.

    Project overview:
    The video was a low-budget, single-day shoot with minimal crew and gear, relying on the high dynamic range of the FX3 camera.
    The color design plays a central role in reflecting the emotional progression of the piece. Tones and palettes were chosen deliberately: Muted earth tones to mirror moments of pain, fragility, and disorientation. As the story unfolds, subtle transitions into warmer highlights and soft, natural light symbolize healing, tenderness, and the slow return to inner connection.

    NORDVIND | A Short Film

    A short film about always feeling in between and torn. Between rhythm and silence. Between control and passion. A journey north and toward the feeling of finding your own rhythm somewhere between motion and stillness.
