The Iceland Story - A journey from ice to fire
A few months ago myself, Andrew James, Cuong Hoang, and 5 other amazing travellers ventured to Iceland on a Journey starting from Reykjavik around the ever changing, dream like coastline of the island.
Being Strangers at first, we explored some of the most beautiful, and rugged places the island had to offer, sharing memories and special moments that you couldn't repeat if you tried. While experiencing the greats, we also experienced the lows, but turned things around to make the tough times some of the best memories we have of this land, and before we realised, these moments took us from strangers, to best friends.
Massive thank you to Zhiyun for making this trip possible and allowing me to use their new Weebill S on the trip, one of the lightest gimbals iv'e ever used. All stabilised ground footage was captured with the Weebill S

why would anyone not like this video? Even though I didn't see the part of the video scene that I didn't like .... good job my friend
This proves that great travel film doesn't need EDM music.
The difference between a master cinematographer and a masterpiece... is a story worth hearing. This is a masterpiece

Dude thats amazing. The starting sequence got me like : "Is that even possible" & the ending like : "Why not!" Great attention to details.
1:31 minutes in and I'm like "No wonder you take so long to edit". The attention to detail is insane. Plus putting pictures into a 3D space and then simulating that camera movement really takes time.

Exactly. Not just 'editing'.
What impresses me the most is that you are part of the few creators that invent and re-invent film making... your transitions, your color grading, your story telling skills and so much more are just on another level. You create and all the rest we try to imitate but it's never quite as good as what you come up with. You sir, are part of the greats.
Your attention to detail seriously incredible. Love the way you tell a story. Cheers mate!

Absolutely loved the whole video Benn! Your story telling is incredible, especially at the beginning- it’s like watching a mini movie. I don’t know how to explain it but your videos always make us feel something more than any other travel video out there 🙌

Woooh! thank you Jasmine (: that means a lot to hear!! I'm glad you think it feels different and like a movie haha! thats what i wanted! (:
Benn, your after effects skills are next level! Your transitions are the most thoughtful and most spectacular ones too and the most important thing, your story telling is incredibly good. And you know what you are authentic. Thats something most of the other travel videographers aren´t, 90% are copying sam kolder and being original and authentic is the most important essence of travel videos. You know my dream would be to once in my life travel with you, not because I want to grow my travel channel, not because of the fame. I would really love to be on a trip with such a inspiring person, someone thats constantly pushing the limits of creativity. I know the chance is small of you seeing this is small and reacting to this even smaller, but if I don´t try, there can´t be a chance.

I have never been so amazed, speelbound, blown away, and inspired at the same time by a travel video. Calling it anything short of a masterpiece would be underappreciation, and an injustice to the amount of work he put in this. Much love!
Absolutely unreal Benn! You're creativity and originality never ceases to amaze me! Such a good trip and such good memories :)
The level of storytelling Benn!! Just insane! Made me smile throughout the entire video! And the northern lights, a bucketlist of mines
That was actually really irritating how good that was. Hats off on a phenomenal video - your best yet!!!
I have read that someone went to Iceland five times and ended up not seeing the northern lights at all. But I am absolutely grateful that I saw it twice and also learned to take pictures of it. Therefore my favourite part of the video is you guys seeing the amazing northern lights. Bravissomo!
Absolutely stunning. Wow.. Thank you for sharing your story with us Benn.
Benn TK: The Iceland Story - A journey from ice to fire *Stopped everything what I was doing* ME: Hit the REPLAY button 3x 😁😁😁
I am honestly speechless! Like each second of the video is having me being so surprised! The animation transitions were smooth! I just wanted to watch even more!
Hard to nail a favorite moment. Your stories transport me into a world of fantasy and dreams Ben. Thank you for that, this was beautiful.
Epic!! Love the nature heavy vid!! The waterfalls, beach, fog, sunset, northern lights and so much green....beautiful! Thanks!!❤❤
I like the way you narrate this story. Seems like a movie with peaks and lows. Thumbs up man! You are my inspiration
Andrew James!!!! Dang dude I am so glad to see you doing your thing bro! Learned a ton from all your tutorials.
Wow...breathtaking to say the least. Nature sure is awesome. Thank you for sharing this 💖
You re so far,Benn. No describe just to say so proud of you. Thanks man you re amazing all the time . 😉😉😉
Benn, i am a travel film maker too but you continue to inspire me to explore the world further. Your cinematography and editing is and has always been amazing but this time you took a different level. You added heart and soul, emphasized friendship and i think thats what makes this project outstanding! Congrats man and one day, i hope to meet you soon.
This is the most amazing, most magical video I have ever seen. Truly inspiring!!!!
your shots of the northern lights made me cry. Earth is beautiful. Thank you for showing it to me.
Wonderful video and great landscape! I enjoy it - thank you very much for sharing.
Incredible as always! Such an inspiration! Iceland is incredible and even though I've been to most of those locations, this video makes me want to go back RIGHT NOW haha
All of your visual is Most awaited, Insane cinematic as always. 🔥🇵🇭
Man, you make the best videos out there, mixining breathtaking visuals with your experiences from the place make it the best best travel videos on KZread. Hands down to your work, never stop coz we all love it. You're special and we all know it.
I am still in shock! That was amazing! Thank you Benn! 🙏

My favorite thing about this video is the express of your experience, it just likes the way of the life.
Ouchap! Great video again! And that ice drop transition... waouh!
Spider Man = Peter Parker Iron Man = Tony Stark Effects Man = Benn TK
Helll yeah TK! You are different gravy son
Love this, man! Especially a big fan of the storyline of taking a less than ideal weather condition and turning it into an amazing time with people who were all getting to know each other. Not enough of the "cinematic travel community" dive into the not-spectacular times while on a trip. Awesome work as always, dude!
I've been waiting for your uploads Benn. So Proud of you!
You’re editing skills and attention to detail is impeccable! I got goosebumps watching this video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That opening credits scene was the coolest thing ever!
You've no idea how much this video touched me. Me and the fiancée have been a couple of times, 8 day ring road in September last year and 17day ring road in June/July this year. This captures Iceland so well. So many memories. Your editing is incredible. One of the best (if not best) videos I've ever seen in Iceland and I've literally watched 100's.
Benn, Thank you so much,it was amazing an journey,at times a felt like I was right there with you guys. Amazing, congratulations my friend great job.
THIS IS A PERFECT VIDEO ! All in One 😍 regards from 🇵🇭
wow i love how you introduce every person!
WOW! Amazing. Beautiful. Great!
Got chills watching this. Man loved it !
“Our friendships turned from ice into fire.” -TK, 2019 I couldn’t watch it straight up, had to back up with all those efx and transitions. Another great video, brother! 🍻 Thanks for sharing it with us!!!
It's just wow 😍
Beautiful story and video! It's like I have just breezed through a movie.
Wooooowww! A different video! Love it! Amazing ! 👏👏👌👌👌🙋🏻🇲🇽
Wow!! Definitely make's me feel like I know nothing about After Effects😅 Thank you for sharing this awesome story!
I felt like im totally around you people with your art of Story Telling!
Dude what in the what?! Epic, your story telling with all the effects never felt obtrusive. Love this my new friend. Glad you had such a great time in Iceland!
I can't wait to visit Iceland. Such a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing your stories Benn, glad I found your channel.
Always "wow"
this is nice. the voice over till the end and the story. something different.
as someone from iceland, this made me tear up, glad you had a wonderful and safe time here
