About Planetary Panoramas -
While experimenting with different photography tricks and techniques back in 2012, I was shooting 360 degree panoramas in the daytime and long exposures of the stars streaking in the sky at night. It suddenly became clear that the potential to combine the two techniques could be a trip! Since the Earth is rotating at a steady 1,040 mph I created a custom rig of 4 cameras with fisheye lenses to capture the entire night-sky in motion. Thus the images show the stars rotating around the north star, rising in the east, setting in the west, as well as the effect of the southern pole. The 4 lenses are wide enough to capture the entire night sky and a 360 degree panorama of the scene on Earth. Each camera is doing nonstop long exposures, typically about 1 minute consecutively for the life of the camera battery. Usually about 3 hours. I then made a script to stitch all the thousands of these panoramas into this time-lapse. I created my rig in January of 2013 while in my final semester at Lansing Community College before receiving an associates degree in photography. Given it was winter in Michigan, I didn't get to chase the notorious clear moonless night sky as much as I had hoped as the region has lots of cloud cover that time of year. Though I was ready on the rare night to go experiment. After graduating in May I had built up quite the urge to hit the road. My rig has taken me to firefly parties in Missouri, dark eerie nights at Devils Tower, through Logan Pass at Glacier National Park, up the mountains of British Columbia, and around the amazing arches and sandstone monuments in the Great American Southwest.

These are the images I created on the cold, dark, sleepless nights under awe-spiring skies.
The music is composed and recorded by my very good friend, the acoustic fingerpicking guitar prodigy Brandon McCoy! Brandon who is also from the greater Lansing area in Mid-Michigan is quite the acoustic instrumentalist. The song chosen for this time-lapse is called 'One Letter From Lady.' I moved to Michigan when I was 15 and Brandon was the first friend I made. He was the cool kid playing Pink Floyd licks on a $2 guitar at the time. Soon, after he had spent his cold, dark, sleepless nights perfecting his craft, he started coming up with his very own instrumentals. Some of which are upbeat by mixing picking, slapping, and drumming on the guitar while other compositions of his are calm and soothing and can put you in a meditative trance if you just close your eyes. It has been a great experience watching each other grow as artist for over the past 10 years, and you better believe we will be collaborating on projects like this in the very near future.
Speaking for the both of us, we are grateful that you checked this out this project. If you enjoyed it, don't be selfish... Share it with your friends!

So far 25 downvotes... REALLY?! It makes me wonder what type of wonderless, imagination atrophied people can actually dislike something as awe inspiring, beautiful and just plane cool-as-hell such as this....
The flat earthers
This is what being a pioneer is all about. Making something unique, spending whatever time required on it to make sure it is the way it was envisioned.
I absolutely love the result, but would never have the patience to even try and make something similar.
Brilliant work!
To me this is art of the highest level.
this is the most amazing time-lapse I have ever seen...
Thanks Manoj!
thanks for sharing us a new way of "Timelapsing" the sky. That is absolutely amazing the movement created with this 360 angle view!
Absolutely stunningly beautiful 360 Degree Night-Sky Time Lapse ... Wow!

You have an artistic master's eye. Beautiful project. I shared this with my youth group and my son who will be teaching astronomy. Thank you for all your hard work!
Muchas felicitaciones desde argentina un gran saludo y Esperamos mas videos
Beautiful work! I'd love to see some of your panoramas in Google Maps and Views (www.google.com/maps/views) to help people explore the world.
Really awsome! What is the resolution of the source? I would love to remap the output to put into an occulus rift.

Awesome. The last time lapse in the snow with trees reminded me of illustrations from the famous book "The Little Prince."
Several people have mentioned The Little Prince. I need to read it!
Would love to see your work in 4K!!
+Vincent Brady dont read it it was quite boring for me. not bad book but..
I'm a big fan of time lapse video and do some nice stuff myself, but this tops everything I've seen. Takes it to a new level! And beautiful music as well...
Eine einmalige Zeitraffe.

Beautiful compilation!
It's curious how the sky in some scenes, filmed this way, tends to evolve with the same behavior than a magnetic field. Love it.
Very beautiful sky....
Fantastic. Amazing work. thank you for sharing.
Wonderful and surreal!
Fantastic piece of work!! masterpiece!!
Coooool! I stand (sit) corrected!

No puedo creer lo maravillosas que son estas imágenes. Me mantuve callado y boquiabierto durante cuatro minutos, sin siquiera parpadear.
Thank you so much totally breath taking
Wow was what I was saying within, while watching this video. You are remarkable Vincent.
Re-upload this as a 360 then. I'd like to explore it.

Thanks for the awesome footage!
This is too cool! Such imagination and vision! I was really blown away by this. Fantastic is the first word that comes to mind. Some of the little "planets" remind me of Super Mario Galaxy! WAHOO!
Incredible work mate. Satisfying to the soul..
Our greatest mystery
Wow, this is absolutely brilliant. I was captivated & inspired. Great work :)
This is crazy cool!
Stunning. I love the footage showing north and south views with contrarotating stars.
where did u see a south star i can see rotaion of the north star. period.
I am a flat earther. annandale virginia You can't see rotation of the pole star - nobody knows if it rotates. And I didnt say the southern pole star was in the shot - I said I can see contrarotating stars, which is what everyone (except you) who looks at this will also see. Surprised you didn't say it was CGI
