An interpretation and visualization of Odin's sacrifice of himself on Yggdrasil to gain the runes.

I'd love to hear your take on what is, in my opinion, the WORST Norse King EVER!

I believe in the old gods, this is my way of communicating that to you. This is probably the coolest and most complicated video I've done so far. I used EbSynth to turn myself into both Odin and Thor, Cinema 4D to create Mjölnir and Gungnir and animate them, After Effects to do the effect to Odin's eye... This video turned out better than I originally imagined. May the gods and goddesses except the time and effort in creating this as an offering...

Shot with Iphone 12. Created using After Effects, Photoshop, EbSynth and Premier Pro.

Been playing around with EBSynth (who wouldn't?) But everytime I used an app to change my beard, it would give me weird results. Once I used Photoshop to lengthen and put (more) grey, EBSynth worked perfectly! Added the Eye and rotoscoped in AE. All-in-all, a promising test!

Who was Mimir, the god, the giant, "The Rememberer"? In this video we discover just who he was and touch on the possible reasons so much about him has been lost.

A poem I hope will help those who feel lost find hope.

By comparing the two myths, we gain an insight into the core of the religions themselves. What does the myth of the gaining the knowledge of the runes tell us about Asatru? What does the expulsion from Eden tell us about Christianity?
