Glowworms in Motion - A Time-lapse of NZ's Glowworm Caves in 4K

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2024
- A Time-lapse of New Zealand’s Glowworm caves as they have never been seen before. Filming this involved sleeping in caves for multiple days in complete darkness with just the sounds of the cave to keep us company (and the occasional eel). Read the full story of how we pulled this off on our blog: bit.ly/Glowworm...
UPDATE: This video won New Zealand Geographic's 2015 Photographer of the Year award in the Time-lapse category
About the Series:
Living a Kiwi Life is about a Canadian couple (me and Jenna) who have lived in Canada all our lives and made the decision to move to New Zealand having never gone there before. We quit our jobs, sold our houses and cars and left everything we knew to explore an unknown.

This is one of the most beautiful things Ive ever seen. Accompanied by the music it just makes it completely ethereal. I literally teared up,. Thank you SO MUCH for this. Absolutely gorgeous.
:)
If you eat them, they will give you mana.
Irwin Palomo well you do get 3% shock resistance for 60 seconds
Oh boy....
If nothing else, this NEEDS to have a D&D equivalent setting.
Irwin Palomo I’ve seen them up close
Irwin Palomo I’ve touched one
One day I'll go there.
Mee, too InsyaAllah

@@silentmaniac3626 nobody can say anything anymore lol
I visited there in 2016 and it was amazing. Definitely one of the MUST-GO places.
+Emma Bedard, I can’t reply to your comment directly because of your account settings. Thanks for the comments on our videos. As for getting around NZ the absolute best way is to have your own vehicle, campervans are ideal as there are lots of places to park in NZ. We’ve got some stuff about the best way to get around and some the various companies on our blog. A cheaper option is to get on and off the various buses that travel the more popular tourist tracks. I would recommend Rere Rockslide as the coolest attraction in all of NZ but it is out the way. Other seriously cool options are Sandboarding, Tongariro Crossing or Taranaki and Shotover Canyon Swing.
hi
What a stunning time lapse video! The beauty of the glow worms is just mesmerising. Great effort!
When a youngster I alwayys wanted to find such Caves.🎯💖Beautiful,Thank You For Posting this for People to 'Behold"✌💖
I still come back here once in a while. Everybody needs a little glowworms in their life.
Fantastic! Never thought something like this exists on Earth.Thank you for spotting wonders of the nature.
Imagine if all humans glowed.
there is a video about this. TH-cam "afterglow"
Big neon party, sign me in!
I'd love to have glowing dots on my face like in Avatar :)
teachgold or we all were those blue avatars- where their freckles look like stars instead of dirt
🎯💯
What Skyrim mod is this?
Reminds me of alien caves I discovered in a game called Skyrim. There were these glowing mushrooms that could be used for potion brewing in alchemy.
Crazy reference!
Terraria too
Ruben DeyenbergOMG, yes, me too, with the vampires and the shrines, i have to re-play the game now
Exactly what I thought. Skyrim ftw
my mom wont let me play skyrim bec it is too violent
This channel is truly a hidden gem.
Thanks +Stache_Zilla :)
My mother passed away a few days ago, I have just been reading in a notebook she kept, she had a holiday of a lifetime in NZ (she is from Gloucestershire UK), and mentioned her visit to Waitomo glow worm caves in 1974, the video is just how she describes it, thankyou so much for uploading this video. RIP Mum. xxx
So happy this video helped bring to life one of your mom's memories. Sorry for your loss.
I imagine it's a hundred times worse running into glow worm slime than a spiderweb.
How bright are they in reality? I'm sure these videos are using special effects.
@@SylkaChan c expliqué : l'ISO dans la vidéo variait de 3200 à 6400 et l'obturateur sur les séquences accélérées était de 30 secondes.
IT looks bit like Avatar World.
+Hubert Kosmowski It is! Avatar was filmed in New Zealand
+hfsee22 in know :-) I bine in those caves 7years ago.
hfsee22 the GREAT GREEN SCREEN'S of new Zealand
It looks like those Alien caves in Skyrim.
@@DEGermany beware the chaurus
These are so fascinating! Definitely something on my to visit and capture list!
Just visiting here after seeing your clip in DDoI's video...thank you for sharing this with us! Im happy to have found your content :)
glad you found us!
flipping amazing...natural artistry!!!.....I came across some glow worms in my neck of the woods in Florida uplifting a log...beautiful, but nothing as stunning as this....this is on a Hollywood production level !
thanks, they are pretty special
I once harvested something that looks similar to these. If I remember correctly, they were glowing mushrooms and were meant for alchemy I never bothered to learn..
WOW WOW WOW! Incredible guys! Beautiful. Great music for it as well
Thanks ***** !
I was here as a child (maybe 8 years old). I'm 52 now and still remember it vividly. When people ask me where to go / what to see in NZ I always recommend Waitomo. It's not something you see every day. We did the whole Cape Reinga to Stewart Island thing one year (my family lived there when I was a kid). I have relatives all over NZ but I haven't been back since 1973. This place is the one that had the greatest impact.
One thing: when I was a kid and all this time, I've heard it pronounced (at the caves) like Why Toe Moe, but a couple of places I've heard Wait imo. Can you list the proper MAORI pronunciation? My dad (a kiwi) always said Why-toe-moe.
Glad you liked the video and it brought back memories. This wasn't actually filmed in Waitomo, it was filmed in Northland and Martinborough. We have a second video called "Waitomo's Lights" on our channel that was filmed in Waitomo.
Amazing work and perfect choice of soundtrack! Glowworm caves were the main reason why my husband and I stopped at Auckland on our way to Queenstown.
Wow. Very cool and beautiful. Music goes so nicely with the footage!

Damn, brought tears to my eyes of how beautiful this is! Thank you endlessly for uploading. Absolutely a must-see!
+Minimeister317 thanks for the kind words
I'm 35. Once, I did my own thinking independently of the past and thought of how I already looked ahaed at the future as a property of the past. Knowing that even later, I would see the same about now. So I stopped anticipating the future and was like "This is the environment now" and adapt to the one that's here now. My awareness of the next one is very nil but I know that just becaue it's as though it doesn't exist doen't mean it's truly never coming and when it does come, I will adapt to that one from scratch and look back at how I didn't even think the current one existed and already did what I wanted to do at the time. I don't care to bother with it. Some people when they're old enough, their brain adapts to think that way. Some of you young people have to work to create a future with it way of thinking and can't take it for granted. You might be making plans. You might not get around to it and then lose interest but feel like you already did what you wanted to do discovering the answer for yourself. To pull off long focused 10 day plans of getting jobs done such as organizing things, you have to have seeds in the process of preparing a plan on how to do later parts and start working on adjusting your mind far enough ahead or something like that. They are just seeds and are not meant to be used in their current form and are meant to undergo improvisation along the way.
Beautiful, sparkling ✨ magic, I love our beautiful world and the God who made all these singularly fantastic things ❤️🌸🤩
How wonderful is Nature, and perfect music to accompany. Very humbling.
This is magical. Exquisitely beautiful.
This is INSANE! You really do take people out of reality in your videos. They are just so good. Yas
Thanks, this one was definitely a special one, and a lot more work than our normal videos.
Hey question, did you use a slider for this? If so, which one? Also, would a video using a gimbal still look decent? I'm going here next year and don't have 60 hours to spend in a cave but want to at least capture some cool footage. Thx!
I used a dynamic perceptions stage one slider. If you go to the blog link in the description I list most of the gear used. You would a camera with very low light sensitivity to get a good result with video and a gimbal. Probably a sony a7sii or something similar. Even with that the results won't be that great but they should show up.
Amazing... It's like from the movie "The Host". They're like constellation of stars. Beautiful New Zealand...
visiting the glowworm caves in new zealand last year was stunning, and you captured its beauty flawlessly.
:)
IM CRYING THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL~
This is absolutely magical
the beauty of nature is just AMAZING!
The first form of media (photo or vid) that has correctly captured my awe at the glowing behinds of larvae down here. Thank you!
Thanks Sommer Kapitan, we were really trying to show them as close to the in-person experience as possible so I'm glad you feel we nailed it :)
I love New Zealand so much
Honestly this is magical
This is so magical and beautiful, reminds me so much of a place on Elder Scrolls Skyrim called Blackreach, completely mesmerizing.
Amazing that places like this actually exist. It's beautiful.
What a WONDERFUL CAVE
Finally!!! Stars on our planet... really a spell bounded by the vision...
Went there last month, they give you a tour of the cave system and then a boat ride under the worms. Highly recommend it!
Woah...I looked up an old song called, "Glow Worm" and clicked on this video out of curiosity. Thank goodness for happy accidents because it was well worth my time! Beautiful :)
+Leslie Johnson if you liked that one you should check out our new glowworm video called "waitomo's lights". I think it's even better :)
Been here last year and it was just spectacular. Worth visting👍
FÉERIQUE / MERVEILLEUSE NATURE / FANTASTIQUE / IRRÉEL / TRÈS BELLE MUSIQUE nous ramène dans AVATAR ! Un GRAND MERCI pour la superbe belle vidéo !
Truly exquisite piece of art!
Очень по-новогоднему смотрится.... Большое спасибо!
So awesome.. ^_^ You guys do the magic..
Lying on an innertube, floating thru a west coast (or Waitomo in the North) cave system with glow worms and stalactites is a truly majestic feeling.
Now that's just breathtaking!!
So damn amazing!! And also a great video created by you guys.. just can feel the beauty with that amazing view and music🎶
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
Thanks, very beautiful, and nicely scored too!
One of the most beautiful things i have seen thank you for sharing it.
Perfect music choice for the video. So well shot!
Thanks, it took a while to find the right music, painful process.
If you don't mind my asking, do you have any tips or sites for music finding?
i just audiojungle.net most of the time, it's cheap and has good selection. Kevin McLeod and Jason Shaw are two artists that have free music which is decent also.
Good to know. I'll check audiojungle out. I've noticed Kevin has a ton on the youtube audio library. Thank you for the pointer. Keep up the great work!
This is incredibly beautiful ..

I also came from DDOI. So glad I did, this is phenomenal.
NightCore Songs has your life become so pathetic to the point that you have to be toxic in every situation?
NightCore Songs Get a hobby.
This is the most fantastic video! I LOVE IT!!!!! We lived in New Zealand for a year and missed the caves, but we want to go back to explore! This video gave me a feel for what we will see in the future! BEAUTIFUL and captivating!
AnubisFilms As we've also found out even a year in NZ isn't enough. There is too much to see an do. It must be why Immigration NZ just extended their working holiday visa to 2 years instead of 1!
indeed, never seen before. this is amazing work! Read your blog and the determination to get this done is truly inspiring.
Thanks *****, after taking the first clips we searched for glowworms time-lapses online to see what was out there and there were only a few short clips and not with the type of big movements we incorporated. I guess no one has ever had the patience to try and take enough of them to make a full video. It was a great challenge.
***** Like Devinsupertramp said, its all about the shot (: I'm appreciating every frame now its really all worth your effort and patience!
I live in Hamilton NZ and love watching your videos! I have done quite a few of the activities you have and it's amazing to relive them. Thanks :)
Mike Webb Awesome, are there any cool things near Hamilton you recommend. We haven't spent much time there.
Okay, this was one of the coolest videos I've seen. Was in Waitomo Caves a couple of months ago and saw glow worms, but to see them like this is amazing! Hugely impressed as it must have been such hard work to pull it off. A big "like" from Sweden:)
Thanks for the great feedback Johan Strömer. It was a lot of hard work especially once we made the decision to make a full video instead of just taking a clip or two and putting it in a compilation video but it was a great challenge.
Wow amazing timelapse ! Where did you find a cave which accept such a long shooting ? Great job !
:) We filmed most if it at night when there were no tourists coming through. We wrote a blog about the whole experience here: bit.ly/GlowwormTime-Lapse
one of the most beautiful videos iv seen..
Just amazing, great footage, seamless editing, and great music to accompany. Thanks for sharing your story - I wouldn't know how difficult the filming could be!
"Speechless" brought me here.
Great video.
Ray was right.
Speechless and Ray?
You deserve an oscar for this
Been to New Zealand recently and it was the best time of my life. Only thing was that they didn't allow any cameras including GoPro in the cave so wasn't able to get any pictures, surprised you got to camp inside for this amazing video!
Yah, there are a bunch of different cave options and we got lucky with this one getting to camp in it
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
I'm a bit curious, did you edit this video much to get the glow worms brightness that high, or are they actually that visible to the naked eye? Beautiful video though, something I'd love to see at some point in my life!
+kozy they are long exposure time-lapses which makes the images brighter. In person I would say they are as bright after your eyes adjust though.
What a fantastic and beutiful place, and appreciate it
this is wonderful
Breathtaking
Do you know how absolutely fantstic this looks when viewed upside down?
One of the coolest things I've ever seen thankyou for sharing 🙏
This is one of my favorite videos on TH-cam now.
+CyberWolf thanks, I'll be publishing a new video in the next 24 hours (from the mountains in the north island of NZ)
+Stoked for Saturday Oh, no problem! Super excited. Can't wait.
Beautiful work man!
What length motion rigged slider did you use? Are their areas in the cave where the glow worms are not over water- i take it? What cave or area was this shot in? It wasn't shot on a tour group or anything like that was it? I'm very curious! haha
both 4ft and 6ft lengths. Some areas are over water and other's aren't. I wrote two blogs about the two videos we made if you are interested in that:

Amazing as usual , this video was magical
Glad you like it
You guys are phenomenal! It took so much to capture this. Hands down the best video of glow worms~ amazing!
Thanks, it was a bit of a mission!
*Beautiful cave and glow worms*
how amazing is nature!
Perfect video ! I love the music. Will try to use one of Dexter Britain music for a next video. What I really appreciate on your channel is the quality of the shots and you do great job without talking.
Thanks!
Got link from daily dose of interest
Puneet singh Same.
That was amazing! Thank you so much!
This is gorgeous. Thanks for this video. The song is beautiful as well.
Amazing !!! Thank You for Sharing !!!
Wonderful place
The music fits so well
I agree with the campervan comment. Spent November 2004 touring the south Island. Hired a campervan and mobile phone from UK before flying out. Loads of sites all over. We used 'Top 10' Never had to book a site, but if you know where your going to be the next night, its worth phoning ahead if you want a parking area with a power point, only a few dollars more and worth it for the fridge, lights, radio without running the vans battery down.
You diserve this you took so much time making this video nice work
thanks.
Cant wait to visit. Thank you for these amazing videos.
thanks for watching!
Eerily beautiful.
Hey Jordan. :) We're heading to NZ in 3 weeks and will be doing a Spellbound Tour on one of our first days. Just wondering if you think it's possible to get any decent footage-pics inside the Gloworm cave with either a GoPro 4 Silver or an old Canon DSLR. I'm guessing it's going to be difficult but what the hey will give it a go. Congrats again to you both on the announcement. Enjoy!
Hey, I'm excited for you. You'll have a great trip. You're unlikely to get a decent photo with either of those cameras. You would need a long exposure (30 seconds) on a tripod and you might get something decent depending on how close you were. The further way you are from the glowworms the longer the exposure needs to be. I've never been in the Spellbound cave but heard it was really good! Most tours don't allow tripods but if you do the Ruakuri Trail Walk at night you will see some glowworms along the trail/in caves that you can try and get some photos of with a tripod. Have fun!
So, that’s where all the fairies went. Just magical. 🧚♀️ 🧚♂️
this video is unreal great job !
Thanks Mike.
This is so cool imagine if there were pink and purple glowing worms too mixed in there would look like something out of fantasy world
