  • Clouds with Sierra Nevada range appearing from haze on meadows in the day

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Shadows play across the desert and mountain landscape as the camera pans rightwards. Shadows from these lower clouds that have moved overhead shift the light on the land. High clouds move onward while the stratus layer hugging the mountainous peaks transform in time and the higher wind. The higher north faces of these cliffsides are steeped in snow.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 8 frames.

  • 4 of 10 | Sierra Nevada Mountain range and midday clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Medium and lower-level clouds, as well as a small ‘scudding’ layer that is halfway up the mountain’s slopes, transform all along this multicolored mountain and arid landscape of yellows, reds, and whites of snow pack on eroded cliff faces and meltwater channels (center of frame at beginning of clip).
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 15 frames.

    Scene notes:

    The continuation of another clip, on a motion-controlled dolly, moving. The camera’s orientation and position has been adjusted.

  • Rainbow on heavy clouds in the distance on a rocky landscape in the desert rain

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The partial rainbow of the desert vanishes into thin air, rain moving out of the creation zone. Distant desert foothills have cloud shadows cast on them throughout.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 19 frames.

  • 1 of 3 | Sliding over mountain past green bushes and above the fog layer at dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Facing east at sunset on a mountain landscape, the fog appears to very slowly roil on the foot of the mountain in a lack of wind, and the camera moves perceptively on a dolly leftwards. The sky comprises a quarter of the frame and is a spectrum of reds to blues, brightening towards the right of the frame. The mountainous butte on the left of the frame is snow covered.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    6 seconds and 26 frames.

  • 1 of 10 | Sierra Nevada Mountain range and midday clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Stratiform clouds at mid-level pass far overhead as the camera pans leftward. A yellow foreground of flowers and plants goes in and out of the shade along with the background mountains. A stratus layer on the peaks tumbles and struggles its way over the Sierra Nevada, and a few small clouds of short-lived density play around the altitude of snow and just below the peaks. The view becomes full of more ridge lines of various mountains to the south at the end of the clip. A limited depth of field adds to the clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    13 seconds and 6 frames.

  • On an Oregon meadow with green grass, shadows…

  • 2 of 3 | Sliding over mountain past green bushes and above the fog layer at dusk

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The partially mined-out north face of Mt Bohemia is displayed in the dusk light, behind a foreground of verdant shrubs with small flowers. Snow is laden in shadow on its scree (broken rocks) areas. The fog slowly laps on the foot of the mountain in the dusk light. The camera moves slowly on a dolly towards the left.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    12 seconds and 14 frames.
