Amazing.Ī few miles south is where part two picks up. One thing to note early on in the first part is the way the rain is coming down on the right and actually being sucked back into the rotation. We should have been further south when we started filming but you never know how long these things will last, so I started the timelapse as soon as I could. The first section ends because it started pouring on us. The timelapse was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens. And when we did.this monster cloud was hanging over Texas and rotating like something out of Close Encounters. We chased this storm from the wrong side (north) and it took us going through hail and torrential rains to burst through on the south side. Clouds that rotate and look like alien spacecraft hanging over the Earth.

Usually it's just for a day, or three, or two.but it took until the fourth attempt to actually find what I'd been looking for. I've been visiting the Central Plains since 2010. And not just a rotating supercell, but one with insane structure and amazing movement. It would obviously be a lot harder !!Ī rotating supercell. In winter, snow or ice, I can not give an opinion as I have only gone in clear summer conditions. This takes a lot longer and is pretty hard on the seam of your pants and it is really not necessary to do it that way.Īll the above and the video are for good summer weather. Some people actually just sit down and straddle the knife edge and scoot across. This knife edge has a reputation of being a very hard route but it really is not even though the camera video makes it appear that way. About 2/3rds of the way across, switch over to the North (right) side and put your hands again over the knife edge,to the South side this time, and your feet easily walk you along the route. Put both hands over the knife edge to the North side and your feet easily walk you along the route. Basically for the lst 2/3rds of the way you stay on the South (left) side. The guy is using a helmet camera I think and this makes the climbing look a lot harder than it is. "Luckily there was plenty of vin rouge to keep me warm, and Jacob's enthusiasm kept everyone going through the cold nights."Ĥ Round Trips over the years starting in 1980 to 2006. "Filming in the suit was the most surreal thing I've done in 20 years of snowboarding," says Hughes of the charged salopettes. "I've always been excited by unusual ways of lighting things, so it seemed like an exciting idea to make the subject of the film the only light source." Sutton, who has created work for the likes of Hermès, Burberry and The New York Times, spent three nights on a skidoo with his trusty Red Epic camera at temperatures of -25C to snap Hughes carving effortlessly through the deep snow, even enlisting his own father to help maintain the temperamental suit throughout the demanding shoot. "I was really drawn to the idea of a lone character made of light surfing through darkness," says Sutton of his costume choice. The electrifying film sees Hughes light up the snow-covered French hills in a bespoke L.E.D.-enveloped suit courtesy of designer and electronics whizz John Spatcher.
