Ascending on unique rock formations of Alabama Hills in California
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The UAS ascends steadily over a lifeless environment of unique stone formations, with high clouds motionless in the sky. The ground shows no signs of humans, but the sky has a jet contrail pattern. Two hills seem are composed only of very large boulders that cracked into pieces after cooling as magma. The area lives on an active fault zone, and certain hills show where these flows of magma end; in the last 10 million years, these hills have dropped 11000 ft (2750 m) and were once around the height of Mt Whitney. No interval was used with this full motion clip.

Scene notes:
Sometimes a high wind gust will come along and cause the tripod to move slightly. In these rare instances, the clip may be stabilized digitally or divided in two. This shot of the Alabama Hills at night under a nearly full moon has a cut that divides the scene into two clips, one with a longer shutter speed.

2 of 3 | Low clouds moving at night over mountain range in moonlight
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
Mt Whitney is seen among its neighboring peaks in the Sierra Nevada range of mountains at night. With the long shutter speed of three seconds and an interval of five seconds and clouds quickly float overhead. The stratus clouds floating high enough fly over, the lower ones are caught and piled up on a few of the peaks. A landscape of hills made of smooth and rocks of varying sizes, from massive to minute, climbs to the left of the frame.

Death Valley landscape with sand dunes with shadows creeping up mountains

Scene notes:
A slow desert scene featuring a few high clouds and arid sand dunes below. The sand dunes comprise ABOUT of half the frame. The distant mountain ridges occupy one fifth. The peaks of Black, Funeral, and Grapevine mountains are off to the east in the distance. The shadows on the ground in particular become longer.

Golden Gate Bridge traffic motion at night
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
…with city lights behind, aircraft taking off into the sky. An observer on the Marin Headlands sees much of the city from one view, where the bay enters the ocean in the other direction. Spanning the bay is the bridge, cars speeding along as they always do. As night falls, the lights glow reddish, the blues of blue hour change, and the airplanes take off in the sky, which comprises about a sixth of the frame. Ships are seen coming through the bridge and leaving, such as a tugboat escorting a cargo ship.
