Mauna Kea Heavens 4: Finished

After two years of filming, I finished the fourth and final timelapse montage in the "Mauna Kea Heavens" series. This video features lots of adaptive optics lasers, milky way shots, many scenes of the erupting volcano, and several hyperlapse sequences. It utilizes focal lengths from 12mm to 1000mm. I completed my PhD and moved from Hawaii to Washington, D.C., so I won't be filming the telescopes anymore. It can be viewed at vimeo.com/302336360.

 

Several of the scenes in the montage involve large camera movements. Pictured here are Raiatea and I filming driving timelapse on a particular cold and snowy night under the light of a full moon. Mounted on the vehicle is a DJI Ronin stabilizer. We also filmed a couple scenes in which we walked with it.
