  • Ascending on unique rock formations of Alabama Hills in California

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The UAS ascends steadily over a lifeless environment of unique stone formations, with high clouds motionless in the sky. The ground shows no signs of humans, but the sky has a jet contrail pattern. Two hills seen are composed only of very large boulders that cracked into pieces after cooling as magma. The area lives on an active fault zone, and certain hills show where these flows of magma end; in the last 10 million years, these hills have dropped 11000 ft (2750 m) and were once around the height of Mt Whitney. No interval was used with this full motion clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 6 frames.

    Scene notes:

    Sometimes a high wind gust will come along and cause the tripod to move slightly. In these rare instances, the clip may be stabilized digitally or divided in two. This shot of the Alabama Hills at night under a nearly full moon has a cut that divides the scene into two clips, one with a longer shutter speed.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
