Scene notes:

The scientific adage of ‘what goes up, must come down’ rings true in this scene where, at right, lower-level clouds rise in convection. Over this ridgeline, there are pockets of air that fall through the cloud as cold patches, creating these distinctive looking clouds. While the dire, dark gray, bizarre looking ‘mammatus’ are this size only 30-40000 ft and attached to monstrous storms, these are clearly harmless clouds.

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.
