Scene notes:

Orographic effects on clouds can be varied. One tried and true method of identifying orographic clouds: do the clouds appear around the mountaintops and nowhere else? This affirmative can safely indicate an orographic effect: when the landscape influences the clouds directly. The sunrise requires no clouds at all to filter through at full radiant intensity. Slowly shifting clouds with little to no transformation over time can indicate very stable air. The mountain range brightens in the morning sun.

Important Public Announcement Regarding Footage Licensing

A significant change to my policy regarding the use of my footage and visual assets.

Effective Oct 14, 2025, I have made the decision to cease all external licensing of my entire library of footage. This means that I will no longer be granting new licenses for the use of any of my previously produced or future footage in third-party projects, whether commercial or non-commercial. This change is being implemented as I evolve my focus for the road ahead.


What This Means for Users


Inquiries Regarding Services

While I am ending new licensing, I am currently open to discussing new opportunities. If you have any questions about this licensing change, or if you wish to inquire about other services I offer—such as commissioned work, custom projects, or direct collaboration—please do not hesitate to reach out.

You can contact me directly.

I thank you for your understanding as I make this important transition.
