The printed Norwegian television history when MS Northern Norway in the evening the ropes in Bergen. For five days must NRK2 send directly around the clock from the Hurtigruten ship's journey to Kirkenes.
OF ARVE HENRIKSEN - MS North Norway, Trondheim, Bergen
Two years after the success of the Bergen Railway to the minute, which gathered more than a million TV viewers, NRK step further. For five days straight all send the plan on NRK2 and replaced with a 134-hour marathon broadcast from Bergen to Kirkenes. Off is tonight at 19.30.
-We will follow Hurtigruten in 134 hours, 8048 minutes, from minute to minute, until we get there, regardless of delays or not, says Thomas Hellum, project manager for many will call it pure and simple insanity. But NRK klokkertro that this is well spent license fees. The price tag is for the Aftenposten of about 2.5 to 3 million.
-We believe many people in Norway have a very strong relationship with Coastal, and we want to give viewers a travel experience. Following the Bergen line, we got a lot of feedback that viewers actually felt that they were on a journey, says Hellum.
Technically complex
Aftenposten joined the last few hours while the technical equipment will be screwed. Around the time the soles of the miles of television cables. One of the boat's conference room is transformed into the command center, where the different cameras will be handled. During the nine cameras to be in action, three on the bridge, a gyro camera to a value of 2.5 million hanging outside under the bridge, one in cargo area, another in the lobby, the rest is removable camera that will be used to depict the lifestyles of board. On the roof sits a satellite link that will carry television signals from the boat. Where there is no coverage, the chosen alternative solutions.
-In Geiranger Fjord, we have two link cars that are on land, which receives signals from the boat and they send forth. In the Troll Fjord, we have a person stationed on an island at the entrance to the fjord, with a portable satellite receiver, said Hellum.
Some of NRK's local offices will also ensure that the boat be filmed live from the land, which can also be cut into the transmissions. During the 134 hours-long trip will be 2.5 to three hours in which they live satellite signals will fall out, then, NRK backup solutions, including in the form of historical video.
-But nothing is edited, we take things as it appears. We will show you otherwise would have if you had been standing on deck on board, says Hellum.
No labeling
The trip north is long since sold out, the 314 passengers who bought roundtrip tickets, including 190 Germans and 55 French, will be made aware that there is filming on board.
-This is very special, and most are NOK very excited about what this is. However, I do not think we will notice that much to it. We need to perform the job we do, this is not a show off for us, said Captain Geir Arne Johannessen.
