Hey all! This is a new thing I'm doing, which will be a regular occurrence going forward! I love making time-lapse films, it's my passion, my purpose and what I love doing. But I tend to put them out once a year, a massive, huge production of either the Monsoon or Tornado Chasing. I collect two years worth of footage for each and then create a film. But there are lots of clips that don't make it, or days that are so good, they deserve their own short video.

An UNREAL day…August 25th, 2025. The HABOOB chase I've been waiting for since 2018, and really since 2011. An incredible, fast-moving wall of dust started well southwest of Red Rocks, Arizona and traveled north at 60-70mph, making it nearly impossibly to keep in front of for awhile.

This time-lapse films begins at the exit to Red Rocks, where we get the first view of the wall of dust, then our next stop is Casa Grande, then the side of Interstate 10 near Sacaton, then Riggs Road and finally Sky Harbor Airport.

The music is by Luke Atencio, one of my favorites. Please check out his work on Musicbed.com for your licensing needs: https://fm.pxf.io/N9j3g2

This was one amazing storm, it's only three clips, but I urge you to watch until the end of the third one because it's incredible. A monster collapse of multiple columns of rain/hail, like microburst after microburst. All just south of the town of Andrews, Texas.

Hey all! This is another drop in the new series I'm doing, which will be a regular occurrence going forward! I love making time-lapse films, it's my passion, my purpose and what I love doing. But I tend to put them out once a year, a massive, huge production of either the Monsoon or Tornado Chasing. I collect two years worth of footage for each and then create a film. But there are lots of clips that don't make it, or days that are so good, they deserve their own short video.

This is May 16th, 2021…a legendary day, from start to finish. What you'll be watching (after the opening scene of clouds erupting on the horizon) is a single, solitary supercell that forms, drops a tornado and then goes on to be one of the best structure shows I've ever seen. And this is all ONE storm, all the way from start to nighttime beast. It forms near Sudan, Texas and by the end we're on the west side of Lubbock, watching it in the distance.

Hope you enjoy!

Hey all! This is a brand new thing I'm doing, which will be a regular occurrence going forward! I love making time-lapse films, it's my passion, my purpose and what I love doing. But I tend to put them out once a year, a massive, huge production of either the Monsoon or Tornado Chasing. I collect two years worth of footage for each and then create a film. But there are lots of clips that don't make it, or days that are so good, they deserve their own short video.

So this is the start of a new series where I will be posting short time-lapse films, or vignettes, based on single days of chasing. To showcase the big days, the huge days, and to display what I can capture on the days where I collect a lot of footage.

Hope you enjoy this first one…which was June 6th, 2025…the Tri-Sate chase which began in Kim, Colorado and ended up in the Texas Panhandle.

After two years of filming, the latest cinematic journey in the Vorticity series is here! From mothership supercells to stunning tornadoes, sunsets and lightning, this film captures what I saw during the 2024/25 spring chase seasons in the central plains, from the southern border of Texas all the way to Montana.

In this newest installment, a few key days pop out in my mind. The Hawley, Texas tornado from May 2nd, 2024. Akron, Colorado tornado on May 23rd of this year. And June 6th, 2025, which was a chase from southeast Colorado all the way to near Pampa, Texas hours later. That single day gave me 15 individual time-lapse clips from initiation all the way to night-time beasts that lasted until midnight.

But there are so many moments I love her. Some dramatic sunset storms, one of them an anticyclonic, north moving supercell in Wyoming ablaze with orange light. Mammatus clouds, dust, lightning, flashing updrafts, whale's mouths, shelf clouds, boiling cumulus and just random awesomeness.

The film is made up of tens of thousands of individual frames captured over the course of four months, 40,000+ miles, exhaustion, depression, exhilaration and passion. When you've been doing this as long as I have, you are your own worst enemy, you critique yourself too harshly and you expect the very, VERY best. I missed a few epic days this year and those hurt, but I'm beyond proud of this film.

No words can thank Peter Nanasi enough for his insane work in creating this custom track for me. This one I think is his best yet. And it's become such a easy collaboration. He knows me, what I do, what I like, and this time he gave me a nearly 11 minute track with me only having one tiny note and the whole thing just worked PERFECTLY.

Thank You
This film wouldn't exist without relentless support behind the scenes. My deepest gratitude goes to my family—your encouragement and patience during long days and weeks on the road make every frame possible. Thank you for being my anchor.

Filmed in 8K for maximum detail, all clips are available for licensing through me or on Filmsupply.com.
