Stormscapes 4 from Nicolaus Wegner on Vimeo.
.
For a few months out of every year, the northern high plains bear witness to some of the most incredible and beautiful severe weather events on the planet. Rotating and rolling monsters composed of moisture and heat, sculpted into towering behemoths by wind and terrain. I do hope that this timelapse short film does these terrifically terrifying beasts of the sky justice. Keep in mind that everything about this video is over the top. It’s bombastic, slow, fast, then slow, then fast, has cows mooing somewhere, is weirdly edited and paced, and overall a little bonkers. But these storms are bonkers. Especially the nocturnal ones.
Severe systems displayed in this video include diurnal supercells (mostly LP and hybrid), tornadoes, mesoscale convective systems, and my favorite, the nocturnal low-level jet-driven supercell. Possibly not a real thing. But also a real thing.
Visual elements copyright Nicolaus Wegner 2019. The footage was captured in 4K/5K raw format (diurnal sequences), and 8K raw (just a majority of the nocturnal sequences). Available for license. You can contact me through Vimeo message or email at [email protected].
Sharing is caring, so have at it. Only original video links please. I’m not bothered if you have ads all over your website or blog if you share this via article or social media. Just no ads on top of the video player is all I ask. No television or news broadcast, please.
