The devastating power of 4K time lapse...! Fast Forward
This 4K time-lapse video was shot by photographer Knate Myers, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was shot mainly in New Mexico and Alaska, using cars, boats, and even a hot air balloon! It offers a breathtaking view of nature on a scale you've never seen before
I think this is the charm of Japan. Down Days – Kyoto & The Coast – EP 8
This movie tells the story of the three Gudauskas brothers (Tanner, Patrick, and Dane), professional surfers from California, who visited Japan as part of a world tour. The film starts out a bit cliched, with them touring the famous tourist spots from Tokyo to Kyoto and enjoying the obligatory geisha entertainment, but the second half, featuring their interaction with the owner of a stylish inn in Tango (who has a great personality!) and the warm camera gaze directed at the small fishing town, are very pleasant. Above all, it also brings home to us the fact that Japan is rich in natural beauty that people from all over the world should experience
The atmosphere of a hidden place where only the sound of rain echoes. Doubtful
Doubtful Sound is a famous fiord on the southwestern tip of New Zealand's South Island. Although it has become a popular tourist destination since being designated a World Heritage Site, the remote inlet is an isolated place that can only be reached by sea. Despite heavy rainfall and two million sand flies, there are only two residents here. This is a rare video that captures that atmosphere on camera
Euphoria from despair DEATH VALLEY DREAMLAPSE 2
Another time-lapse video. Death Valley National Park, located in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, is the hottest and driest place in America, and as its name suggests, it is covered with barren land where no living creatures can survive. The first half of the video shows this desolate landscape, but the beauty of the starry sky that follows is incredible! The fantastical scenery that can only be achieved through time-lapse videos continues
A weekend scene @ Sheffield A front door adventure
This outdoor road movie is by Brendon Tyree, a cinematographer based in Sheffield, England. The way he captures the light and wind is wonderful. I was also surprised to find that it somehow resembles the scenery of low mountains in Japan. I found it interesting that there are similarities between the landscapes of modern cities in Japan and the UK, so I picked it out
A new season begins Wake Up – Finale Ligure 2015
Finale Ligure is a rural town in northern Italy. Watching mountain bikes racing down the course accompanied by dry folk music, it feels like your mind is transported outside the house. MTB videos are always a great way to watch them
