The video is captured by a high-definition video camera mounted on a rotating tripod that follows the full 360-degree movement of the midnight sun through a 24 hour cycle. Centered on the never-setting sun while keeping a leveled horizon the video pans through the arctic landscape at a barely discernible speed. Due to 23 interruptions to change videotapes the resulting length of the video is 22:04 hours.
