  • Floating parallel to shore of the Pacific Ocean…

    Scene notes:

    … with waves flowing on rocks below. Cerulean sky above, the ocean below as we are over the water. The headlands of the coast are clear at points, as are the stones that make the shore so rocky. At about 300ft (or 100m) altitude, waves look small as they crash below. The deep blue see stretches into the north where the fog is already gone from the daylight heating, but the landscape makes fog formation here more likely.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 12 frames.

  • Floating to monoliths on the Pacific Ocean shore…

    Scene notes:

    … with waves flowing on rocks below. The UAS moves towards a monolith among an outcrop of stone and shallow beach waves. A full motion clip with no interval of photos. Just beyond the monolith is a fog bank that is slowly moving towards the camera, with smaller wisps moving over the rocky shore.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    1 minute, 6 seconds and 17 frames.

  • 2 of 2 Over Iceland, Snaefellsjokull National Park

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Over slow life. The UAS flies over a volcanic landscape and creek. Snæfellsjökull, a volcano in the background has a sheer drop off for a cliff face on one side. A flat layer of cloud, stratus, is on the top of Snæfellsjökull. The landscape is covered with slow life, and the formations are practically unique. The only place to safely walk without trampling vegetation is the creek bed and nearby road. Interval: none, real-time, full motion video.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    33 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Over an Icelandic inlet, the Snæfellsnes Peninsula

    Scene notes:

    The UAS flies over an ocean inlet over northwest Iceland, and Lenticular clouds cover the sky. Interval: none, real-time, full motion video.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    23 seconds and 21 frames.

  • Flight over jungle canyon as clouds flow smoothly…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … on mountainous coast casting shadows that move by on the canyon floor and walls. Under an azure sky filled with low-level clouds, the UAS moves through the Hawaiian canyon outside of Waimea National park. The jungle gives way to sheer cliff face and is seen below with a creek moving through the canyon that it carved. Interval: three seconds. Movement: three to four feet per second in real-time.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 26 frames.

  • Rainbow over jungle canyon as clouds flow smoothly…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    … on mountainous coast casting shadows. In this UAS-based time-lapse, a two second interval is used to capture the meandering cloud that produces the rain. The rain creates an optical rainbow. Cerulean sky of the day is behind the clouds. The machine flies towards a rainbow made by the same clouds as sunset clips of this scene from the ground. Jungle is seen below, and the steep slopes approach the viewpoint of the camera. The rainbow stays near the center of the frame as the drone stays outside boundaries in a free fly zone. Rust colored stone comprises the new volcanic headlands.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    9 seconds and 23 frames.

  • Morning dawn heralds glowing pink medium alt clouds…

    View with alternate video source
    Scene notes: …with low meandering or desert wind. In this rapidly brightening scene that takes place in the high desert of southeast California, upper-level clouds brighten past the exposure as the sky quickly brightens. Extremely fine and subtle details of the lower parts of these mid-level clouds are illuminated from below the horizon. This is due to the fact that the Earth, round, allows the light to enter into the atmosphere at angles low. This light is shown as reddening through atmosphere, with the distinctive pinkness of a sunrise.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 22 frames.

  • 1 of 2 On Waimeia Canyon, low clouds flow smoothly…

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …on jungle and volcanic landscape below. So many cliffs, Waimeia Canyon is a park which has a past as a volcano. It is scientifically shown to be the oldest of the islands of Hawaii, and ‘only a few’ million years ago there were many chambers of magma that collapsed into thin lava flows in the west side and thick flows in the east, and constantly erupting basalt continued to build many of the cliffs. As time went on, the rock decomposed enough from frequent rain to create soils for a jungle to grow. The original plant species that seeded today’s ecosystem floated in from storms that were taken from their birth islands over millennia. Here, the clouds that carried this rain are building and meandering, as they so often have throughout all the planet’s more recent time. Interval: 3 seconds.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    11 seconds.
