Low Earth Orbit

Orbital drone movements are the ones with power to convert two dimensional images into dancing focal layers escaping out of the frame. We wanted to further explore the technique, with high altitude long orbits, along with ones very close to the ground, we call them "Orbital drone-lapses". These shots are a mix of automatic and manual flights.

Low Earth Orbit is a zone between earth's surface and 2,000km, where we find most of our satellite system orbiting around our planet, together with the international space station.

A romantic attempt to step aside for a while gravity and atmospheric forces, bringing these orbits closer to the ground.

This Is a Generic Millennial Ad

This Is a Generic Millennial Ad, created with And/Or studio, shows how easy it is to appeal to anyone born between 1980 and 2000. The good news? Thanks to social media, it's easy to connect with this influential audience. The bad news? They hate spending money on things. (Except for maybe avocados.)

Directors' Cuts: Danny Sangra's Pro Advice - NOWNESS

A man in the midst of a career crisis gets a visit from a not-so-ghostly spectre in Danny Sangra's short. Best known for his music videos for artists including Mykki Blanco and Club Kuru, and ads for brands such as Diesel to Miu Miu, it is for his one-scene shorts—including the viral A Lunch Break Romance —that the London-based director lets loose."These films are a place where I can test out ideas and have nobody looking over my shoulder,” he says of the films, with their tongue-in-cheek approach to everyday life.

"Sol E Luna" - 2017 Total Solar Eclipse - RED Epic W 8K S35

First and foremost. PLEASE watch this in 4K with a good sound system that has a good low end bass unit or with a nice set of headphones. You will have a much more impactful viewing experience.

The 2017 total solar eclipse was definitely one of the coolest natural phenomenons I've ever witnessed. The photos and video I captured today truly can do it no justice. The visuals of totality are of course impressive and awe inspiring but what I found the most interesting was absorbing the atmosphere around me when it happened. It got dark enough to see the stars. There was 360 degree sunset color in the clouds around me. The wind stopped and it got very cold. All wildlife seemed to become quite and still. An eery silence overtook the world around me. It was a total otherworldly experience. You must go see one for yourself. So long as I live I'll never forget today.

Baia del Silenzio - timelapse from Sestri Levante, Italy

Sestri Levante is an Italian town between Genoa and La Spezia. The town has close to 20,000 inhabitants and is located in the coastal region Liguria which is popular with tourists for its beaches, towns and cuisine.

The original part of Sestri Levante is on a peninsula, with the Baia del Silenzio (Bay of Silence) on the east side and Baia delle Favole (Bay of the Fables) on the west side.

Baia del Silenzio is a delightful and enchanting bay characterized by a narrow sandy beach bordered by many pastel-colored houses. The bay is further caracterised by the many fishing boats anchored in the center of the bay.

Baia delle Favole was named in honor of Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen, who lived in Sestri Levante for a short time in 1833. The writer was fascinated by the beauty of the location. The city also has an adventure festival - The Andersen Festival - which is an annual recurring event since 1998.

Cliffs of Moher

A short and simple story of our evening coastal walk around Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.

ARISE

ARISE reveals the essence of life's journey, though which we will find a beginning and end, adversities and good fortune, sorrow and happiness, experiences that help us evolve. In the end, it's about connecting with our dreams and a complete state of mindfulness.

_________________________________________________________________

We explored some fantastic places in The US, starting with the city of San Francisco, down the spectacular Pacific coast to Monterey, over to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, and ending in one of the grandest places on earth: Yosemite National Park.

Also included are some clips of a trip to NYC.

The weather was so nice, clear and sunny, allowing us to capture the sunrise, sunset, and sparkling night sky each day.

Astri Apriyani's collaborative narration adds a special touch to the video.

Enjoy our new video: ARISE!

Herbie and Nathan Fletcher: Peninsula South

Nixon brings together larger-than-life surf legends Herbie and Nathan Fletcher for a road trip down memory lane in a new short film entitled Peninsula South, where the father and son team head down to Baja and revisit some old haunts from previous adventures. Director Riley Blakeway captures Herbie’s pioneering spirit and the close-knit relationship he has built with his son Nathan as they set out on an expedition they’ve not made together in over twenty years, reignites both their love for Baja and their deep appreciation for one another. By the late 60s, Herbie had already begun exploring Baja in search of un-crowded lineups and adventure. As his life moved forward, he built a family who share his love of travel, and who have joined him countless times to explore the fickle southern peninsula. On this latest mission, Nathan discusses his father’s contagious, childlike enthusiasm for surfing and life, and shares how he hopes to pass those ideals down to the next Fletcher generation.

Pursuit (4K)

-------

On June 12th, I broke down into tears. Minutes earlier, I had been outside my truck, leaning against it, head buried in my arms, frustration and failure washing over me. I wanted to quit. I got back in the car and as I drove, the pain got the better of me and the tears came.

This past spring was a tough one. Supercell structure and beautiful tornadoes had been very hard to come by. In fact, the tornado in the opening of this film was the only good one I saw this entire year. I had been on the road longer than ever before. Driven more miles. I was away from my family for 12 straight days at one point, and when I got home, I had to tell them I was going back out 24 hours later for June 12th. It was just too good to pass up. It promised to be a day that I could get everything I had been hoping for this spring and I had no choice. My wife understood, even though I knew she wished I stayed home. And I wished it too.

I knew right where I wanted to be that day. But this year I struggled with confidence in trusting my instincts. Maybe it was because the lack of good storms this spring made me question my skills, or maybe it was something else inside of me. Whatever the case, I let myself get twisted and unsure, and found myself 80 miles away from where I had wanted to be when the tornadoes started to drop and the best structure of the year materialized in the sky. The photos from Twitter and Facebook started to roll in and I knew I had missed everything.

It may not be easy to understand why, but when you work as hard as I did this spring, a moment like that can break you. I felt like I let my wife down. But mostly I let myself down. I forgot who I was and that's not me. Or it shouldn't have been me. I failed myself. And it seemed like the easy choice to just give up and head for home.

But I didn't. I'm not sure why, but the pain slowly began to subside. I realized it was only 4pm and the storms were still ongoing. Maybe if I could get in front of them the day could be saved. Ninety minutes later, I got out ahead and saw some of the best structure I'd seen all spring and a lightning show that was so incredible it's one of the very last clips of this film.

And that's why this film is called "Pursuit." Because you can't give up. Keep chasing, keep pursuing. Whatever it is. That's the only way to get what you want.

I learned something about myself on June 12th which carried over to the final few days of chasing this spring. I trusted myself again and those days were incredibly rewarding. This was who I'd been all along but had forgotten. I can't wait for next year.

The work on this film began on March 28th and ended June 29th. There were 27 total days of actual chasing and many more for traveling. I drove across 10 states and put over 28,000 new miles on the ol' 4Runner. I snapped over 90,000 time-lapse frames. I saw the most incredible mammatus displays, the best nighttime lightning and structure I've ever seen, a tornado birth caught on time-lapse and a display of undulatus asperatus that blew my mind. Wall clouds, massive cores, supercell structures, shelf clouds...it ended up being an amazing season and I'm so incredibly proud of the footage in this film. It wasn't the best year in storm chasing history...but I got to chase storms and share it with you guys. All worth it.

I wanted to do something new this year, so I worked with composer Peter Nanasi to develop a custom track for Pursuit. I'm super excited about it and loved the process of exchanging ideas and building the song as the editing of the film progressed. I am so thankful to Peter for what he came up with, I'm in love with this track!

The time away from my family turned out to be over a month all told. I'm always and continually blessed by a wife who supports what I do and backs me completely. But not only do I have her to thank this spring, but also her parents who hung around for a good chunk of May and early June, to help out wherever needed, watch the kids, run errands and generally be there for Jina. I don't have enough words to convey how appreciative I am for them being around while I was gone.

I think that's about it. I could write a lot more, but I'd rather you watch the film and hopefully have a taste of what I saw this spring. There is nothing quite like strong inflow winds, the smell of rain and the crack of thunder. I miss being out there already.

I hope you enjoy and I'll do my best to answer any questions in the comments below!

Technical Details:

I used two Canon 5DSR's along with a Canon 11-24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 135mm and Sigma Art 50mm. Manfrotto tripods. The final product was edited in Lightroom with LR Timelapse, After Effects and Premiere Pro.

THOUSAND HILLS OF HOPE

Imana Truyers was born in Rwanda right before the genocide broke out in 1994, from a Hutu father and Tutsi mother. Through a series of fortuitous events and thanks to a Belgian nun, she was able to make it out of the country alive and was adopted into a Belgian family right before chaos ensued. She returned back to her home country for the first time in 2015, where she was able to see her family and the life that she almost had.

She now runs an NGO called Thousand Hills of Hope, which supports medical and schooling projects throughout Rwanda. To learn more about her organization and to contribute, please visit thousandhillsofhope.be.
