The World Beyond the World
Using text adapted from Robert Marshalls "Alaska Wilderness: Exploring the Brooks Range" (1929) and images from Expedition Arguk (2013), "The World Beyond the World" aims to celebrate that most ancient and sublime of human pleasures: moving through a mysterious, beautiful, and unknown landscape.
In 2013, Expedition Arguk walked and packrafted across 300 miles of wilderness in the Alaska Arctic in order to report on Arctic issues and create public-use media from this far-off but increasingly important region. "The World Beyond the World" was shot during the first third of our trip, which took place entirely in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. Gates of the Arctic is the second-largest US National Park, but its extraordinary remoteness and challenging weather mean that the Park sees relatively few visitors. There are no guidebooks, trails, campgrounds, or roads. Most of the photos that make up this film are available for 100% free, unrestricted public use at expeditionarguk.com
Assembled entirely from stills shot with a Nikon D7100 camera, using a Nikon 55-200 VR and a Tokina 11-17 ultrawide lens. Post-production in Photoshop and After Effects, with countless hours on a Wacom Intuos4 tablet.
We are immensely grateful to the American Alpine Club, the Sierra Club Alaska Chapter, the Alaska Wilderness League, Ground Truth Trekking and our many other sponsors and advisors.
Additional thanks to our volunteer translators: Christopher, Pedro, and Anders.

www.expeditionarguk.com Most backcountry expeditions to remote areas rely on flyweight cameras that can be tucked into a pocket. More ambitious groups might bring an SLR and a tripod.

    Man my brother and I watched this way back when I was like 16 (31 now) and he was 13 (28 now) it left such a profound make on us. He reminded me of this video today 15 years later and it still feels the same. I had forgotten but he still remembered and I went on a scavenger hunt to find it, I’m so glad I did. To my brother I love you man!

  • @Plinko99
    @Plinko99 Před 7 lety

    I first saw this video maybe 10 years ago on a site before youtube was interesting. It really hit me, and maybe once a year I would take to google for an hour n try to find it. Never could till maybe a year ago. I check it out maybe once every 6 months. I don't know what it is about this vid, but it just has a quality and appeal that you don't see anymore. It is like what we might see more of today if web vids were allowed to evolve on different vid sites without being forced to follow the youtube monatizationable rubrics. I miss this sort of effort and result.

    Great to see something of you again. Did you use camera mapping to create the illusion of 3D space in the pictures? Great result in any case.

    • @paxson001
      @paxson001 Před 10 lety

      Thanks! The 3D effect is all done by hand: the images are cut apart in Photoshop into layers and then those layers are arranged in a virtual 3D space in After Effects. Moving a virtual camera through that space creates the illusion of depth.

    I'm looking for a video, if someone can help I'd really appreciate it. It's a very depressing video of a fox who hangs himself at the end. In the beginning he like it's a rose and he has to climb this huge ladder. It's imagine or imagination something. I NEEED to find it if someone could help I'd be so appreciative.

    I remember the first time I watched this video, I had just joined the Navy, everything was far different in my life from what it is now. It seems like life times ago that I saw this, but it still sticks with me, and I still to this day want to know the REAL meaning behind this. Paxson you are and artist and I hope that you don't NEED anyone to tell you that. But I would for one really love to know what REAL meaning behind this is. To this day I cannot figure it out. Much respect.
