CloudLand: Timelapse Marine Layer over San Fernando/Santa Clarita Valley 720p HD

[jcmegabyte]

I shoot/render pretty-much all my videos at the full 30fps rate for soothness - I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for visiting and the kind words :-)

[allansgranddayout]

Beautiful footage

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for visiting! :-)

[jcmegabyte]

The pollution (mostly particulates - dust, etc.) can be from a lot sources... A lot of dust gets sirred up and carried out to sea at times here, and it's said that even air pollution from China makes it all the way over here to California. Remember when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines? Even the ash particle pollution from that event gave us amazing sunsets for over a year... Amazing planet earth! :-)

[jcmegabyte]

It's ironic that many of our nice sunsets are partially the result of all the particulates and gases (otherwise known as smog and pollution!) in the air here! XD

[morningdew00]

beautiful... I like your vids, they're really neat. :)

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm happy you're enjoying my video and music creations! :-)

[SpiritOfTheRainbow]

Absolutely gorgeous - thanks!

[jcmegabyte]

I'm glad you enjoyed the show! Thanks so much for watching :-)

[SlaveZero1234]

I just can't stop watching this over and over again! =)

[jcmegabyte]

It was pretty cool to be there and see it in poerson too... I'll have to see about putting up the rest of the realtime footage on the WeirdStuff channel... a sort of outtakes and "making of" sort of thing. Might be interesitng. :-)

[SpiritOfTheRainbow]

@SlaveZero1234 I know what you mean!

[Probablyacowtbh]

And oh! If you ever get the chance, try to visit Ascension Island and record from one of the higher peaks. It's the first example of Terra-forming here on earth. Started in the 17th century, by Mr Darwin I think (A crude explanation, I know).

But! It's supposed to have quite an unusual range of plant-life, trees, shrubbery etc. In addition to a fairly tropical/humid climate, which is quite impressive considering it was little more than an ash-laden island 2+ Centuries ago.

[jcmegabyte]

Sounds like it could be a great place to film! Cheers! =)

[destroyahdes]

Good to see you again. This was a nice video. I always enjoy your music. How are your bugs? I haven't been on much but I should have a moth video up soon.

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks for the kind words, Des. I'm still backlogged with tons of material - new bug footage as well... trying to catch up! Lots of new stuff going up on the JCMDIWeirdStuff channel - vids from the 2010 LA insect fair that you might like. Do send me your moth vid link when it's up, too... Cheers to you and yours! =)

[mandhise]

the colors of nature are wonderful, praise for filming and video so fascinating ..

great!

[jcmegabyte]

It was actually quite an experience to see this in person - end even more interesting when it's sped-up abit! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :-)

[Watchyou2008]

Very Beautiful Creation ! I love your videos, Jcm, you are Best video Editor!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for the kind words Annie! 

[kaoritubes]

This is absolutely amazing. It's artistic, but also gives such close up look at the way clouds move. Thanks.

[jcmegabyte]

I still haven't quite got a grasp on the dynamics involved here.. The strange boiling movement doesn't really fit with the terrain below, so there must be some sort of turbulent layers either above or below the clouds which affect their movement... So much we still don't know! :-) Thanks so much for watching!

[kommaj]

very, very wonderful video

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for the view and kind words! Cheers! =)

[HerculesHunt]

Spectacular scenery and what Mother Nature gives us! 

[jcmegabyte]

Definitely quite a spectacle! Thanks for sstopping by :-)

[jcmegabyte]

Definitely quite a spectacle! Thanks for stopping by :-)

[thowzifRDX]

man i hate the youtube ads, ruining a beautiful vid like this.....

[jcmegabyte]

They can be a bit annoying for sure. Fortunately, they give us the "X" to minimize them, unlike some players which force us to watch them like broadcast TV. :-/ Thanks for the view and kind words! :-)

[curiosValsh]

That is so cool !!!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for watching!

[Probablyacowtbh]

Ace!

And err, just as a side note/question, has whoever made the music ever played Unreal 1? (PC)

The music sounded similarly enchanting.

[jcmegabyte]

Been a long time since I played Unreal, but I do remember that I liked the soundtrack. I'll have to see if it will still run on any of my machines and re-visit it... I don't remember if I wrote this music before or after the game. If it was after, the game soundtrack could have had some influence. :-) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[nachtivision]

Very ,very beautiful !!!

Fantastic movie !!!

[Roserietta]

Hey there friend! I still love your work. I've always loved the night sky timelapse, and this is also pretty cool! I was wondering, are you still making your bug videos? Those were always interesting, and plus you gave me facts. Stiiiiiiiill haven't gotten a good pic of the 'Mystery Butterfly" since theres been nothing but Monarches this year. I'll catch one someday. ;) Just wanted to drop in and say hello! 1 and a hald years ago I saw your work, and still loving it! :)

[jcmegabyte]

Long time no chat - nice to see you here! I'm still making all sorts of stuff; more bug vids coming too. I look forward to seeing pics of your mystery butterfly if you can manage to track it down. Take care and keep in touch! :-)

[Watchyou2008]

It was definitely somwhat dreamy watching and filming thiese scenes from the mountaintop :-)  Thanks for watching and commenting!

[Lauriewriter]

Your amazing video is beautifully expressed with your choice of music and is a welcome addition to my Meditation playlist!!

Absolutely gorgeous!! :)

Thanks.

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! :-)

[HiddenCaveMan]

Very informative, and I like how you described it in the description....nice work on this awesome clip...It looks fun to do!

[jcmegabyte]

Since I love learning about things myself, I try to add some educational value to my work by describing in detail what I've filmed and any research I've done just satisfying my own curiosities about how things work :-) Glad you're getting some value from it too! Cheers!

[backwoodsgps]

still listening

still watching

most thank you for that!!!

[jcmegabyte]

So glad you're enjoying the show! Cheers! =)

[RODALCO2007]

Very nice video,

keep them coming.

Thanks for posting.

Will do! Thanks for the visit and cool comment =)

[miapya]

Spectacolul naturii este grandios.

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed - thanks for stopping by and the nice comment! =D

[Backatwon]

Nothing is as beautiful as nature in all it's magnificence .........and you filmed it ..great job!!......much respect!

[jcmegabyte]

This really was a cool sight to see in person at the top of this mountain - nature is indeed amazing :-) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[bothropsasper]

Breath-taking. What a delight... Clouds kissing mountains, wonderful!

[jcmegabyte]

I almost wanted to hop in raft and sail the cloud sea, myself :-) Thanks for visiting!

[limeslimey]

Beautiful! 

[jcmegabyte]

Nice to see you! Thanks so much for stopping by =)

[jcmegabyte]

That's really what it feels like up there, too! Funny thing - that's how pilots see it all the time  :-)

[TheJosuaman]

Expectaculares some pictures!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for the view and nice comment! =)

[catfishmudflap]

Very beautiful. We love your films.

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed - thanks so much for the kind words! =D

[resonatorproductions]

Very nice!

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! :-)

[dancingfeet44711]

Beautiful!!!

[jcmegabyte]

It was quite a site to film - thanks so much for stopping by! :-)

[jcmegabyte]

There are definitely some interesting dynamics going on there... the demarcation between the layers shows that the air above the cloud floor is doing something different - like scraping over their surface, creating a turbulent boundary. It would be cool if we could see each layer's activity with visible markers of some kind. :-)

[ulysus]

Very good.

Thanks.

[jcmegabyte]

My pleasure - glad you enjoyed! =)

[yousafmalik2009]

lovely very nice

[jcmegabyte]

So glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching! =D

[JanekBST]

nice ! ;)

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks! =D

[ukmaggot]

calming, thankyou :) and Namaste

[jcmegabyte]

Even sped-up a lot it still looks calm and fairly tranquil - an amazing yet relaxing sight when standing up there watching it :-) Thanks for visiting!

[anmoose]

It's amazing to see this from above, as the seething, boiling mass that it is.

[jcmegabyte]

The cloud motion really is pretty cool. From below, there's no indication of this sort of movement whatsoever. And from above, no discernible cause... Too bad we can't see all the air motion and layers involved without clouds... it would be most fascinating :-)

[brunorockerr]

awesome ! very beautiful : )

[jcmegabyte]

It was definitely an amazing sight to stand up there and watch - thanks for visiting! :-)

[Orkide8]

wonderful video with just as wonderful music. Thumbs up

[jcmegabyte]

Great comment - thanks so much! :-)

[iamjustinsameman]

Wow this is great

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much for watching - glad you liked it!  =D

[jcmegabyte]

Each clip was actually produced both in modified (darkened) and un-modified versions, and if I could find a way to combine them using some HDR method, I bet the result would be really cool. In this case I just faded one version to the other so the detail at both high and low exposure levels could be seen. The unmodified versions will be available on my stock footage channel before long. :-)

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed - thanks for visiting! :-)

[ivasek1]

That's great, it gives me the heebie-jeebies

[jcmegabyte]

Glad it had a (hopefully) good effect on you! :-) Thanks for checking it out!

[64mung]

Excellent music...fascinating footage!!

Nice work, Chris!!

Thumbs up :)

64m >:-)

[jcmegabyte]

It was definitely an interesting trip and amazing sight! Glad you like the tune, too :-) Thanks for stopping by!

[KBDProductionsTV]

Very beautiful. thumbs up

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks so much! Cheers! =)

[thirteendreams]

nice one, reminds me of my many trips to Nepal :)

[jcmegabyte]

I bet you could really see some cool views from the Himalayas!

[shanghaibenny2]

Beautiful. A raging river in the sky.

[jcmegabyte]

It's an interesting collection of 3-dimentional rivers too, ranging from ground level all the up to 50,000+ feet, although its largely invisible without the clouds or jet trails to show its movemenet. Atmospheric science is fascinating stuff :-)

[arhlimpapa]

Beautiful work! Where is this country? Like to tag along with you to explore such beautiful nature!

[jcmegabyte]

This was shot from a small range of mountains just north of Los Angeles, California... a place which overlooks both the Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys. There is a 360-degree view, in which nearly all directions it looks like an ocean of clouds with small islands (mountaintops) poking up through it. :-)

[pytlfamly]

Beautiful - just spellbinding!

[jcmegabyte]

It was really amazing to stand on this mountaintop and see the whole panarama in real life too! Thanks for visiting! =D

[crapmunky99]

It looks like a sea of clouds.

Nice... ^_^

[jcmegabyte]

Interesting how clouds can move and look like turbulent white water! Thanks for checking it out! =)

[crapmunky99]

@jcmegabyte

True.

But, when you think about it, it makes sense.

After all, it is all just water in one form or another, right?

xD

[jcmegabyte]

Yep - fluid dynamics definitely apply! :-)

[Npeo]

where was this and when?

[jcmegabyte]

This was filmed right near Los Pinetos Fire Camp 9, on July 6th, 2010. Check out the vid description for lots more details :-)

[2darbit]

That's how I imagine the landscape to be all the time. It's like be new again : )

If that makes sense.

[jcmegabyte]

Kind of a dreamland "Cloudscape" :-)

[18juanes]

It started to rain when i watched this :]

[jcmegabyte]

Interesting coincidence! Thanks for stopping by :-)

[juniortore1]

Yes, I will be sure to go there when I am older.

[dresdfffffddd]

Very cool.

[jcmegabyte]

Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching! =D
