Thirst is envisioned as a visual monument to the ocean during violent storm, a documentary that offers a singular view to dynamic landscape produced by agitation of large masses of water, never at rest, wind and rain. The inspiration for this idea came from a personal experience of a storm that would be impossible to tell otherwise than visually. In order to facilitate the transfer of the austere ocean landscape from the natural conditions to an indoor space, it is necessary to employ a mode of presentation as truthful as possible by technical means. In order to accomplish this task, the following strategy was devised. The filming was carried out during the period of winter storms in the Faroe Islands on the coast of the Atlantic ocean. The documentation of the visually and sonically expressive marine scene was produced as a single-shot unedited registration of a violent storm, with a live sound recoding. It was shot from a steady ground of the coast, so that the camera view coincides closely with a human perspective when standing on the firm rock of shore. In technical terms, the filming resulted with 4k material of cinema quality and duration of ca. 50 minutes.
