On September 9th, 1000 Olaf Tryggvason, the king of Norway, was ambushed by the allied kings of Sweden and Denmark with their fleet of over 70 warships. Olaf had only 11 warships, but instead of fleeing he decided to stay and fight. At first he and his men were able to hold off the attackers, but eventually, all his ships were taken 1 by 1. Rather than be captured, Olaf threw himself into the sea.

    The cameraman is an absolute legend. First of all, he travels back in time 1,000 years! Then, he manages to get perfect camera angles of fight scenes, all while managing to not get killed AND stepping on legos the whole time!

    I love how his stuff is more historically accurate than most TV depictions

    Today, September 9th, 2022, marks the 1022nd year anniversary of the Battle of Svolder (the battle this song describes) RIP Olav Tryggvason. We remember your story 1022 years later!

    I love how a lot of this is actually pretty accurate to how the Vikings did stuff

    I'm really impressed with how dynamic the movements of the figs are and how good you are at give their movements some weight! It's very impressive for sure! I really liked the last shot where he jumped of the ship - great splashing effect! Really cool! Thanks for sharing your creativity and keep up the good work! :-)
