  • An offshore thunderstorm is illuminated

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … by lightning and stationary – content warning for epilepsy. The thunderstorm of the night in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida has no wind behind it to come onshore or make any other direction- this night storm has both cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning, with strikes shown, the flashes outlining and silhouetting parts of the storm, including the anvil shape of the nimbus cloud.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 20 frames.

  • 5 of 5 | Night lightning illuminates approaching

    Scene notes:

    Do not watch if you have had an epileptic seizure; if using in a project, include a similar content warning as a best-practice. An ad-free, 720p, 30 fps preview of this clip to stream and play for your consideration.

    Scene notes:

    A single, silhouetted cloud at the left of the frames is absolutely dwarfed in comparison to very active electrical storm. It grows rapidly as it nears the point of view. At lower right, the palm trees are by the side of the road, which lights from cars pass by rapidly.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 2 frames.

  • 3 of 3 | Aurora Borealis are the Northern Lights

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …which strobe, creep, and flow in the night sky. The continuation of another clip. High Cirrus, highlighted in red by normal light pollution from one of the most northern towns of Alberta, stand against the bright green of the northern lights. It is likely coincidence that makes the clouds and Aurora seem connected in some ways at parts of the sky. There is no ground horizon shown exempt for a small outline of trees in the bottom-right of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 27 frames.

  • 2 of 5 | Night lightning illuminates approaching

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Thunderstorm – content warning for epilepsy. A dangerous, approaching nighttime thunderstorm with lightning illuminating the thundercloud from within. The storm has mostly cloud-to-cloud lightning. A gust front is visible as the high winds make the environment hazardous. The strobing lights below are made by the passing highway traffic (out of frame).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 27 frames.

  • Over the boreal forest are the distant Northern Lights

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The view over sub-arctic woods at night. One of the last areas this far north with any significant light pollution (man-made light that has a significant impact on the darkness of the night), the Northern Lights are observable in the distant thermosphere, around 65 miles above the Earth. This clip contains the lowest amount of transforming aurora in the entire collection.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 65 frames.

  • Green and shimmering lights of the Aurora Borealis 2 of 2

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A towering complex of clouds at sunrise, with the sun outside the frame. The point of view is angled steeply upward and southerly. Where the sun glows in amber and gold on the clouds exposed to its light, both delicate outer edges of denser towering clouds and nebulous areas from later in convection are brightly illuminated. Almost certain is the probability these clouds will produce rain later in the day.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds and 24 frames.

  • 3 of 5 | Night lightning illuminates approaching thunderstorm

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of another clip: the camera position, orientation, and settings have been adjusted as the storm approaches.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 19 frames.

  • Night lightning illuminates passing thunderstorm – content warning for epilepsy

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The thunderstorm moves past the frame, right to left. The lightning illuminates the cloud stochastically as the city, outside of the frame, lights the clouds from below constantly. Leaving behind some of itself as it passes overhead, the ‘cell’ is moved by outflow from other storms.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 1 frame.
