-------------------------------
This series started off back in 2016 and it's hard to believe it's now the fifth film. Time sure flies when you are on the road chasing! Each film seems to have its own character, own style or just a vibe that resonates throughout. Not sure how to explain that or if it makes sense, but it's the feeling I get when I go back to watch them on occasion.
Vorticity 5 took two years to film. Tens of thousands of miles across the central United States, from Montana to the Texas/Mexico border. A few hundred thousand shutter clicks. Loads of McDonalds, Subway and Allsups. The most epic, cheap motels. And countless, stunning storms.
This is the first time for any movie of mine where I have tornadoes AND haboobs make appearances. The haboob (dust storm) happened in May of 2022 in southwest Kansas. It was amazing and unexpected. Of all the clips that make up this film, I'm the most proud of that one. It was like my world of chasing in Arizona finally collided with the universe of supercells and tornadoes on the plains.
I hope you enjoy this film. The colors, the storms, the lightning, the twisters and the dust. It's everything I love, everything I am continually awestruck by no matter how long I do this.
Thank you to my workshop guests, commercial clients and friends for helping make this possible. To my Patreon supporters for loving my work and being a part of making it happen.
Thanks to Nat Geo, Canon and Keith Ladzinski for trusting me with the project we filmed together this past spring. I was honored and stoked at everything we saw.
Thanks to one of my best friends Brett Wright on his support and help as always.
It's been a tough year in our family, but we're coming through. I know being away this spring at one point for three and a half weeks because of tours and a Nat Geo/Canon project...it was hard. Incredibly challenging. To not be home, to not be there to help, was brutal. Thank you to Jina for being my partner and the best mom on the planet. We're always better together than apart.
As always, I strive for the best when I make these films. I'm incredibly proud of this one. My confidence in my own forecasting has continued to grow the last two years and I'm thoroughly thrilled with the storms I was able to photograph. I work relentlessly at positioning, timing and capturing. Knowing when to bail on a storm, when to jump on another, and when to take risks. A few chases in this movie were days I took a chance on secondary targets and ended up seeing tornadoes. There were also days I chose the wrong storm. It's part of chasing. And I'm learning to better weather those ups and downs (pun intended).
I hope you enjoy this film! The soundtrack is fantastic, the work of David A. Molina and his Dream Man soundtrack over on The Musicbed. I used portions of three songs to create one long track and I'm thrilled with the outcome.
The footage was photographed entirely on Canon 5DSRs and various Canon lenses. Edited in Lightroom/LR Timelapse, rendered in After Effects and finished in Premiere Pro. - Věda a technologie
You’re a master of storm Timelapse! I love every one of these!
I agree.
My husband recently passed away and this made me think that this must be what Heaven looks like. Thank you
I'm so sorry to hear that, but it's also what I imagine heaven might look like!
I’m so sorry, sending you the best ❤ I’m sure he is watching over you
For sure the Hallways leading up to it. And the Angels Choir to comfort him along.
Alright... Heaven... Description... Full of tornadoes aswell as constant lightning... Damaging hail... Ridiculous amount of rain... damaging winds... And beautiful storm structure, im 99.9999% sure this is heaven.
@Gracell0 shut up dude.
No words... So many feelings... I mean, Mike, it is pure art. You, your family and stormchaser friends have to be so proud of your work. Seriously... What a beautiful journey! Congratulations and thank you so much for your sacrifice and will to make this films for your fans : )
The raw color of these storms is breathtaking.
Thank you, they are stunning all on their own!
Mother Nature can be a beautiful, yet terrifying phenomenon.
This is what chasing your passion looks like on an expert level-thanks Mike!
The quality, sharpness,the beauty’s captures and amazing level of editing skills (colors -song etc .. 👏🏻👏🏻
Apocalyptic! You should win some kind of film award for these amazing captures!
Omg. The master of all time lapses!!! Epic. Truly epic.
And the Academy award for best film not to employ SFX, goes to… Vorticity 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I think every year I say "this is you best yet!!" and then you outdo the year before!! The colors is some of these storms where just amazing!! Your hard work always pays off!!
I've always enjoyed finding elaborate images in the clouds and other objects/textures.
Figured I'd share one with anyone interested:
@1:33
If you pause at the latter half of this second, it looks like a cartoon character's face on the left, looking right - eyes bulging & cheeks puffed up, blowing/spitting out smoke/liquid.
I also see a long-necked horse (of sorts) and a smaller puma running at one another. So many faces too... One at the top, slightly to the left, looking directly at you with dark eyes, his mouth agape, and could also be rocking cupped headphones.
I got to see the shape of a dinosaur, at 5:59
Beautiful thunderstorms and storms. Continue in the same spirit
There really are no words to describe the beauty of what you do. Your work is truly that of an artist…your use of color, the proportion of sky to ground, the dramatic changes. What a masterpiece. It shows how much you love what you do. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
Thank you!!!!
Don’t forget the perfect soundtrack !
I can barely get one photo of a storm that's as epic as these. Meanwhile, this dude has hundreds of thousands. These blow my mind every time!
lol, thank you Dustin :)
You deserve more recognition for your hard work. Beautiful time lapse videography.
lol he got millions of views
Mike proves that nature puts even the most elaborate AI creation to shame. The authenticity of vorticity is timeless - all of nature's most unexpected angles and colors on full display. There are hours of cinematic experience to fill a motion picture - imagine that on an open air screen at night with a couple of good drinks. Excellent work again!
The lightning combos, skyformations and colour is breathtaking.
5/25/23 was something else wasn't it! Fantastic job as always Mike
We makin' it out of the bear's cage with this one
lol!
This is again a plot twist and an absolutely breathtaking film, master! Thanks Mike! 😍🙏
The mammatus at sunset is about as beautiful as Mother Nature gets. Well done!
Living in hilly country all my life. And have driven thru the great plains. It is mind boggling how FLAT it is! I would love to live out there for awhile to experience that!!!Love thunderstorms too. Great video!
So many adjectives and adverbs are all appropriate yet inadequate to describe your films! Thank you, Mike! ❤
*WOW! Mother Nature Is Deadly Beautiful In Her Power*
*Next Gorgeous Compilation Mike! Bravo!* 👏🤩
After being speechless for some time after getting lost in this amazing piece of art, Im reduced to this profound statement. Holy Shit Dude! Truly unbelievable!
PROFOUND :P Thank you Brian!!!
This is truly a magical mesmerizing visual with colour, aesthetic and sound design bringing the viewer closer to nature far beyond our imagination, breaking the rule of thirds to create an outstanding masterpiece of our beautiful planet. AMAZING!
Wow amazing! I loved the mammatus clouds at the end. Never seen anything like that before.
There's not even a word that describes how incredible this is.
Mike, you are gifted, your zeal and work is a critical gift to people and life. Grace and blessings to you.
Incredible work, Mike. The shot at 8:32 is just out of this world 👏🏼
It had me speechless
Until 9:15 rolled around
@@richavic4520 9:15 is the sort of setting where dragons the size of airliners would do battle. Goddamn.
I hope someday I can witness such beautiful works of nature.
A perfect combination of views and music - worth the 13 minutes on full screen and volume!
Thank you!!!
Incredible once again, Mike! All the colors, the super smooth movement of clouds, the epicness.. My dream is to make such video in my country
Hands down the best film I’ve ever seen. The power and beauty of Mother Nature are the most amazing and just awe inspiring. Put together like this is brilliant. I could watch this all day! Absolutely amazing!
Wow, thank you so much!!!
Absolutely Gorgeous cloud formations 🤩 such a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏
There’s a lot of hours/days, weeks, miles put into this Beautiful video, 🤩your family must be so proud of you 👏👏👏
They are, but they also like me home lol
Other worldly. The sense of not being on this planet is amazing as always Mike!
Ethereal. Brilliant colors and composition. These get better with every iteration.
Celestial Dictator of timelapse, my goodness, and all shot on 5DSR, what???!!! Ab-so-lutely amazing!!!!
Good grief, I feel like I need to put Celestial Dictator of Timelapse on my website lol. Thanks so much for the kind words!!!
Epic video of cloudscapes , thanks for sharimg
Awe•some: extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.
Mesmerizing! Thank you for your amazing ability to capture Mother Nature at her finest!
This is just so beautiful! One of these days you’re going to catch Jesus coming in the clouds! Thanks for sharing your talents!
❤️❤️❤️
I don't know how you do it... I have always had the opinion that no matter what a photo/video will never fully portray the magnificence and awe-inspiring beauty of what is being witnessed. Your work has come the closest by a long shot! The colors and motion you are able to capture in your stills is beyond my comprehension. Thank you as always, good sir! Stay awesome! 🤘🤘
Love watching what an amazing artist imagined, filmed, and perfected! Connected right to the passion!
Thank you Bruce!
Thanks for the experience! Perfect video. 5* 😊
Man is strong, but nothing is stronger than nature...
Amazing. You are a crazy genius. I cannot imagine how much effort it took to film all this. I admire you
I can't quit watching this. I've seen this 4 times, and shared it with my best friends in person--they keep watching, and I watch along with them as though it was my first. This is beyond incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us complete strangers. I'm moved to tears each time I see this. Your passion is apparent within this, not to mention the music. It's perfect. Great collaboration! Thanks again for sharing this, and all you do.
man Jason, thank you SOOOOO much for all the kind words!
My internal mike alarm just went off and I knew I had to come and check! Put it on the big screen and turn it up!
By sheer coincidence I've lately been working my way once again through your earlier works, of which I never tire. But just when I might be tempted to think that you've covered all angles of the storm phenomenon along comes Vorticity 5 and completely knocks my socks off! The number and variance in new perspectives in this film are astonishing. You highlight the incredible 'uniqueness' of every storm, showcasing the explosive fluidity of our atmosphere, and the other-worldliness it can reveal (such as that starting at ~10:18). Your wonderful family must be very proud of you Mike; you are the true master of this art! Thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of the world.
I will never get over that may 25th storm. So glad you captured something as high of quality as it actually looked in the moment. Unreal storm, unreal talent.
It was just an unbelievable scene!
Just wanted to say that you've done it again. An absolute masterpiece that I'll watch on repeat for years to come.
Your older timelapses helped me select a new camera with the 5DSR, and she's served me great over the past few years.
OMG!
So amazing.
We don't see clouds growing and moving like this.
I would actually be scared watching these clouds form outside my house.
Thank you so much for this. Epic!
Thanks for watching!
Another brilliant work! Dark room, headphones and a big screen. Thirteen minute thrill ride. Thank you.
You areTHE best at your craft, Mike. Congratulations on another masterpiece.
Thank you!!!
Just awesome and perfect music. Went thru this terror last night. This sums it all up. Mother Nature far more powerful than all of us!!!
Cathartic to watch it at a distsnce the overall grandeur....and I love Lightning!!
Thank you!!!
So many great amazing shots. I would love to see some of these storms in the end at regular speed. These are some off the best storms I have ever seen.
You're hitting on my emotions Mike.
Two words to describe 8:35:
Oh, and My.
I LOVE the 8:35 mark, thanks so much!!!!!
Utterly mesmerising. Mother nature is truly awesome. Some fantastic photography, well done Mike.
well scored , and lots of physics in Large Scale fluid / gas convection art , mesmerizing AF too
Another absolute banger! Thank you, Mike, for all the time you spend chasing, filming and editing so we can all enjoy this distilled wonder.
Amazing, Mike!! ❤️ I'm pretty sure I've watched every single one of these videos that you've put out and I'm never disappointed! It's the structure that fascinates me the most, about storms. You so eloquently capture that. Thank you, and your family, for all the time, effort and time away from your family, you put into it. It is very much appreciated!
That's absolutely mind blowing!!
I can watch this all day
Insane that these are happening on earth, they look so other worldly.
Looks like an inverted ocean. Astonishing.
Wow! The best timelapses i have ever seen.
Breaking News...Mike Olbinski put out yet another amazing time lapse video. Someday you might want to release one that's a stinker so we know your actually human !!!
Amazing as always, definitely one of the top, if not the top time lapse storm photographers out there
Hey my stinkers are out there from 10 years ago haha, thank you Jim!
I love this. About time somebody film it. Always love since early age to watch sky and clouds play and especially storm skies. M gracias amigo.❤
I've been filming them for a decade! Thank you!
What a masterpiece !!! Every single year you come up with the greatest storm footage ever captured.. again and again.. it's so impressive how you are always ending up in front of the most photogenic supercells... combined with your shooting and editing skills... that's a pure gift !!
No one is even close to what you capture!!
Gosh Mike, so good! I'm always awestruck at the sheer volume of incredible footage you capture for these - such a herculean effort.
Also, that bolt at 10:40 looked exciting.
Oh that one was VERY close lol, my tour guest said her tripod buzzed, but I dunno haha. Thank you Ross!
This is one of the best videos i've seen in youtube for sure! Amazing footage quality, amazing score, amazing cut and exquisite color correction. Hope you get millions of views!
Thank you, I'd love them :P
I am just going to leave this on repeat as my new screensaver.
ESPETACULAR! Um momento mais sensacional que o outro.
Um vídeo pra ver e rever sempre.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! It’s an amazing film!!! Every year, it just gets better and better! Awesome!!!
Mother Nature is showing off. She was just waiting for Mike to set up his cameras
Whoa bro
I can't help but think that watching these storms in time lapse can help meteorologists understand how the severe ones form. Of course, I'm sure that's occured to others already.
On another note, these videos are such a treat, Mike. You have no idea how much of an honor it is that you share these to us for free to watch. Just know it is extremely appreciated!!! These are absolutely astounding to behold.
They are hugely helpful, many NWS offices and mets have asked for them in training classes and more. Appreciate you noticing that stuff!
The standard to which I hold all other storm timelapse work to. You're a master of your craft Mike.
Thanks for that, I appreciate it!
I have always admired the work of Pecos Hank, and you also. Such dedication and time spent. I have to complement you on this work though, it's the finest video I've ever watched and is going into my favorites right now!!! When I have time later today I am going to take advantage of the players ability for speed adjustments and watch it slower too. Just beautiful!!!
Truly transcendent work. You are a master of your craft. Your art and hard work is beyond appreciated. 🙏
Thank you so much!
Another masterpiece. Amazing. The score is perfect. Well done!
Absolutely mesmerizing storms!!! Just incredible!!
You've outdone yourself once again Mike. Those Mammatus clouds at 8:32 are amazing!
These are so good! I love how smooth the timelapses are. The editing is amazing and I love the emotion and intensity the music brings to them! Well done!
Such a wonderful series of images. Thank you!!!!!!
Visually stunning masterpiece once again, with a soundtrack to match. So much work condensed into a 13 minute video!
I'd love to see some drone shots fly above those cumulus clouds some day to see some perspectives from high up. Obviously that would be incredibly difficult with the wind and rain... But one day :)
I have no words for that, got shivers and wet eyes all way long. The power of nature is just palpable
Awwww, thank you!!!
Mesmerizing. Yours are the best. Always. And your dedication at the end to your wife & kids is everything. Well done.
Cinematographic excellence...
Please keep making these. Been watching since the first and you have been hitting the nail on the head everytime. From the music to the content, I love it.
Your Vorticity series just keeps getting more and more grand! This is a masterwork, absolutely stunning!
Again a Masterpiece! I wish i can do Recordings like that here in Germany but here are Trees and Mountains everywhere so yo don´t have so wide open places to film the Storm far away
wow what majestic footage! amazing stuff dude!
Perfect and beautiful.
Holy Thor , this is amazing ! You are really Master of Timelapse and dramatic cinematic Compostinoning. I had Gosebumps when i watched it on on big 4K TV Screen.The colors and dynamics the fluidity of the sky amazes me every time.Theres a reason why you are a photographer Idol for me. A Style i cant find some where else. Very amazing Work
Breathtaking! Thank you for bringing this power and beauty into our livingrooms.
The Kansas hoboob lapse was a fitting finale. Gave me goosebumps because I saw your chase vid. That one night lightning cell you cut back and forth from at 10:09 was like a machine. Very well done.
Yes, it was an insane, slow moving machine, absolutely incredible. Thank you!
Always stunning captures, music and atmosphere! Some of the sunset sequences were absolutely wild with color!I really liked the part when the tornado walked up onto a mesa. Thank you for your efforts in capturing all this, putting it together with that epic music and sharing it with us.
Thanks Mike for another gift of cloud poetry. Your best so far. Congratulations
So beautiful and terrifying at the same time. This is great. Thank you for teaching me humility.
