Rare 1946 color movies Kimballton, Iowa by late Rev. Harald Ibsen, Unafraid co-author with Joy Ibsen
Rare 1946 color movies of Kimballton, Iowa by late Rev. Harald Ibsen, a Danish-American pastor and co-author of Unafraid with daughter Joy Ibsen.
Author Joy Ibsen is sharing her father's home movies because very few people took color home movies in the 1940s.
Her father, Rev. Harald Ibsen, took hours and hours of rare color and black and white movies in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Songs of Denmark CD
Track 18 A Little Nis
Track 26 The Word
Track 27 Built on the Rock
The movies were taken at locations across the midwest including six churches in four Midwest states at which he was pastor (The Diamond Lake Lutheran Church in Lake Benton, MN; Hope Lutheran Church, Ruthton, MN; Immanuel Lutheran Church, Kimballton, IA; Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Viborg, SD; Trinity Lutheran Church, Gayville, SD and St. John Lutheran Church, Marquette, NE.), plus Yellowstone National Park and in Denmark.
Sermons used in Unafraid were given by Rev. Harald Ibsen at Christmas, New Year, Epiphany, Lent, Good Friday, Easter, Pentecost, Trinity, and Advent.
Rev. Ibsen belonged to the American Evangelical Lutheran Church (AELC), formerly the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, that merged into the American Lutheran Church (ALC) in 1962 that merged into the ELCA in 1987.
Ibsen manages Danamerica, a Danish-American website about her first book Songs of Denmark.
Photographs in Songs of Denmark are by National Geographic photographer Sisse Brimberg and a 70-minute CD of the songs was produced by the Grand View College Kantorei.
Harald Ibsen was an athletic, outdoor person who loved to hunt, fish, hike, play golf, and always had an amazing garden, Joy Ibsen said.

Singing and Aerial Photography are my hobbies. No money was exchanged for making this video. I'm doing it because I love the Danish Villages, and I want as many people to know about them as possible.

This is a little 'commercial' for Elk Horn. The purpose is to encourage people from Denmark to come and visit Elk Horn and Kimballton, Iowa, one of the largest Danish settlement communities in the united states.
We have many other things to do than could be fit in this little presentation, and we would love to have you visit us.
The German looking tank is actually an American M29 Weasel with a Red Cross on it. One of our companies restores WWII vehicles.
A documentary was made about our community that was broadcast in the spring of 2013 called Denmark on the prairie, which follows the preparations and implementation of our annual Tivoli Fest:
A sequel was made and is scheduled to be aired in March of 2014 which covers our preparations for our Julefest celebrations. We are hoping that this will encourage more Danes to come over and visit us. It is hoped that this little offering will encourage a few as well.
It has been a great opportunity and privilege to be able to use my singing and flying skills to create this little ad. I'm neither a professional photographer, nor a professional singer. I'm a Lutheran minister.
The aerial shots were done with a DJI Phantom Quadcopter using a DJI Zenmuse H3 2D gimbal, and sometimes with an Arris CM3000 gimbal, GoPro camera using various settings, including 720 and 1080p, with Protune Off. A couple shots were taken in the PAL format for video overseas at 25fps.
