  • 6 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    A continuation of another clip (not in chronological order). The clouds will begin to glow as the sun comes out. High clouds cast shadows on the background headlands until the sun goes ‘below’ them in the sky. When this occurs, the foreground beach and ocean, as well as the middle and parts of the background, come fully into light. The clouds high in the sky are Cirrus.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 8 frames.

  • Calm ocean sun goes behind higher level clouds

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    The ocean, comprising one quarter of the frame, is uncommonly calm due to the Gulf of Mexico, largely shaped and enclosed from the turbulence of the greater Atlantic Ocean by the peninsula that is Florida. The brighter clouds in the upper layer in the distance on the horizon make a glowing layer as a backdrop to lower mid-level clouds, their shapes delicately and finely lit in the dying sunlight. A duo of humans rapidly pass through the frame in the ocean early in the clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    14 seconds and 17 frames.

  • Over small sand dunes 100m away, the ocean below

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    …some fair-weather clouds in the midday blue sky. The shadows of sand dunes slowly creep longer on the sand. The ocean stretches away into the distance to the right. European beach-grass was introduced in the early 20th century- but its spread poses changes to the dune’s existence themselves. Its ability to live in sand is a double-edged sword for the local ecology. A largely cloudy Cirrus sky in the top third of the frame moves inland towards the right of the frame, but it has not yet fully shaded the foreground and beach beyond until late in the clip.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    15 seconds and 5 frames.

  • Time-lapse of ocean coast and rocks into dusk

    Scene notes:

    Offshore rock formations interrupt the ocean and its reflection of the sky at sunset. The sun is shown going beneath the horizon in a cloudless sky which comprises an eighth of the frame.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    8 seconds and 13 frames.

  • Napali coast beach w/ distant mountainous trees under gold sky

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Last of a series of clips in this scene, the sunlight leaves the view under the horizon, with small sunbeams defined by clouds on the horizon. Gold and glowing, mid-level clouds are brilliantly lit, and under them, the lower-level rain clouds are scattering over the headlands. The ocean is the lower quarter of the frame, and waves are observed on the beach. They’re ignited in reflected light under the ambient light of the sky. The sand of the beach is a space in the corner.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    3 seconds and 11 frames.

  • 1 of 7 | Napali Coast beach sunset scene

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Observing the steep jungle headlands, rain is seen on the glowing cliffs, moving under these glowing lower-level clouds, fluffy formations of warm moisture. The Napali Coast has ancient, walk-able trails. Stretching away in shadow now, the foreground is the beach in the lower left. Trees frame the headlands, also left. At right, the ocean is coming in on gentle fast waves, and ‘altostratus’ move left to right in the upper-frame space. The horizon is a mix of colors, like saffron-mango, and sand. The clear sky areas are a Kashmir-blue.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    7 seconds and 15 frames.
