Early on this summer when I found myself down by Santa Rosa, AZ watching a gorgeous hail core fall on the stunning desert landscape, and then later that day staring at a haboob with a stacked shelf cloud above it near the border of Mexico, I had a feeling it would be a unique monsoon. It's funny how every year is different. That's the beauty of chasing the summer storm season out here in the desert southwest. You never know what's going to happen or what you might see.
This year I ventured far and wide. Phoenix never saw a good dust storm all summer, but I still was able to capture a few good ones in southwest portions of the state. The cover photo for this film was halfway to Yuma standing in the middle of Interstate 8 watching an ominous wall of dust roll down the highway towards me with lightning flashing behind it. It was an incredible moment.
One bonus this summer was a few successful chases up at the Grand Canyon. Finally. A couple of gorgeous sunsets, rain dumping into the Canyon, lightning at night, Milky Way...it all worked out and I'm stoked for the footage I captured there that made it into this film. I also ventured over into New Mexico twice to chase some wonderful, plains-like structure to end the monsoon this year.
All told I covered about 13,000 miles and chased as far west as Desert Center, CA, as far east as Wilna, NM and as far north as Tonelea, AZ. And two great storms down in Organ Pipe National Monument, which is only about 10 miles from Mexico.
I loved what I saw this year. It felt so unique. I found myself submerged in cacti and desert flora a few times with stunning light and structure. Explored places in New Mexico I hadn't seen before. Smiled at the gasps of amazement from the crowds at the Canyon when a lightning bolt would strike. Finally discovered that the Santa Rosa area is a hotbed for supercell activity. And while it didn't make it on time-lapse, I captured a brief tornado over downtown Phoenix!
So...the film. So much effort and energy went into it. I shot over 110,000 frames of time-lapse and likely only half of it ended up in the final cut. The editing has taken me weeks and even right up until Monday evening I was still fixing and tweaking. The music is all custom, thanks to the amazing work of Peter Nanasi (PLEASE check out his website and buy his albums: peternanasi.bandcamp.com/) I love how we work together to develop a track that seems to fit exactly with the clips I capture. I am so incredibly blessed that his work crossed my path.
A quick thank-you to the workshop guests I had this summer. You guys were amazing troopers, staying out to all hours and being around for some awesome storms. In fact, I am not sure that I would have even been on the shelf cloud in the final scene of this film if it hadn't been for my workshop. Thank you, thank you!
As always though, what made it fun was sharing a lot of it with my kiddos. They made the trip up to the Grand Canyon with me once and it was such a blast of an experience. Asher joined me in New Mexico one day, just he and I, and I got to see his face light up when he captured his first ever lightning strike on video on his little iPad.
To my wife Jina...we've come a long, long way since we started this storm chasing journey years ago. It's not been easy all the time, especially with me being on the road so much between April and October these days. But we've slowly figured things out and I'm unbelievably grateful to you for your support and belief in what we're doing together.
To everyone else...thank you for your continued support of my work. I am constantly blown-away at the kindness that you show to me.
And now...I hope you enjoy this film.

I’m one of 2 repliers that understands English, but heck yeah. 😂
Every year, I think you have done your best, and every year, you knock another one out of the park. Just amazing work and dedication.
amen brother.
Thank you Craig, I try my best!
@@MikeOlbinski we see !!! I am so impressed by all the hours spent on sites, the quality and your patient work here behind. Congratulations from France.

I have always been fascinated and mesmerized by lightning storms. As a kid I would watch for hours out my bedroom window as the storms rolled by, trying to count the number of tines coming out of the forks of lightning.
This is SO beautiful! True talent!
This carries me away from here and now. When I was little, I wondered what mighty storms looked like from the outside. Got bigger and imagined that speeded up we would see it more like explosions.
Stunning .. Amazing ... Incredible ... Emotional ... Loved every minute of this beautiful film !
Me too:)
THANK YOU for sweeping me away to the Heavens when the ground below my feet feels barren... Your work does more to lift my spirits than any man-made antidepressant!
Thanks so much!!!
Wow! That is a really awesome compliment. Well said!
The color within those storms are mind boggling, you are living out my dream job sir.
I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing! Thanks for bringing the awesome power of nature into our homes and our hearts!
I love clouds, i adore clouds, in every form or shape! Thank you for filming such wonders and share them with us! Thank you!
You are very welcome
6:19 I love the way you see how it goes from a little cumules, to a ton of rain coming out!
That looks amazing, got to say so myself. The rain, clouds, dust, and thunder it's amazing! The stars too it's too good. Like look at the clouds over the grand canyon.
This video is incredible beautiful, the music, the colors... everything. I live in Tucson/Arizona. The monsoon season is the most interesting time here in the Sonoran Desert! Thank you for this wonderful video! 👍🏜
From the second i saw you uploaded until the very end of those glorious 8 minutes and 7 seconds I was riddled with chills, every scene every frame every single string or drum rang out in harmony with the sky. Ever since i've found your work, I've been looking for more creators like you. I can say truly that you are the best there is honestly no one with the same set of skill as you and it is astonishing to see your work and experience and your love for the sky so much to where you inspire me greatly, and i've only been taking pictures for 4 years now. But ever since i picked up my Canon Rebel T5 I've always shot the sky, and you've skyrocketed me into pursuing my dream of becoming a professional photographer, Thank you.
Never argue with mother nature. Just admire and respect her. Beautiful!
Great to see this come together after all that hard work. Beautifully done, Mike.
Amazing. Love the shot with the stars and the cars on the highway
Thank you James!

Hard to believe but you've raised the bar yet again my friend! Wow!
Thank you Mike. Thank you Jina, and kids.
Beautiful, wonderful, precious... You are a master, a genius... Thanks Mike again for showing your art...!!!
The Heavens Pallet...
Beautiful montage of Nature at work Mike ~.
The video and camera work is second to none... The orchestra of sky violence...
NAT GEO doesn’t have anything like this...
Record Stuff ⛈⚡️💨⛅️
and the background music makes it more intense
I used to live in the desert and this is how they came in and left. I missed those storms. Great job!
Mike, as a fellow photographer and Phoenix native, this blows my mind. I now live in seattle, where the only interesting weather is the occasional glimpse of the aurora borealis. I got some nice shots from Phoenix this summer, including a well-formed funnel cloud. Your work is truly fantastic, and I watch these all the time when its gloomy and cold, and it drives me close to tears because its so beautiful, and I long to go back even though I visit often. AZ storms are truly insane, rain so intense you sometimes can't see 10 feet in front of you, amazing CG bolts ripping across the sky, thunder so loud it rattles the ground, and winds so fierce and powerful they act almost like a tornado. Thank you for this film, and am already looking forward to seeing what 2018 has to offer, hopefully some more CG.
Mike, you are à source of inspiration for me. Thank you so much.
The Glory and Majesty and Beauty of God!!! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 absolutely amazing!! Thank you!!!

Please keep a number of your fabulous Arizona-monsoon videos open to public viewing, otherwise they will never see the wonder of this season. To share, this video is not only saved to my huge Arizona-video-tour playlist, but to my smaller compilation as well, "Beautiful Arizona, Scenery for the Soul." Thank you, Mike, for posting your excellent photography here on TH-cam.
They are all open for public viewing :) Thank you/1
MIKE!! I am just blown away!! I love your wife for believing in you! God bless your kids as well!!
Thank you!
00:12 If anyone wonders if these colors, like shades of gold and their morphing into other apparent colors like Peach, Violet, Lavender, Purple are real or applied in editing, they are real. The play of light during storms accomplishes the appearance of many colors ever-changing. I've watched these storms since I was little and I can tell you the appearance of changing colors is real. One wouldn't expect Violet and Purple but during monsoon, they can be seen when the light is right. It's an amazing season! A very powerful, dramatic, amazing season that can remind a person just how small we are.
Actually you are wrong. No current format or technology that I know of is capable of capturing the full spectrums, richness of the actual colors seen with the naked eye. No amount of ramping them up in post would do it either. We can get pretty close. 😜

You failed to grasp the point of my comment.
Absolutely beautiful Mike! This is the first time that i've seen your work. It definitely won't be the last. This is now my first time subscribing to any videos. Thank you for sharing.
Are some SUPERCELLS GIANT INDUCTION ENGINES ? They produce " SUPER BOLTS " fairly frequently . These bolts are associated with " Jets " and " Sprites " and other phenomena that practically extend from the ground into space .
Other than watching an exploding volcano there is just no other phenomenon on the planet that is any more awe inspiring!
So underrated video and channel ... guys make him popular ..
This is so gorgeous. I can only imagine the time that was put into filming these spectacular scenes. Thank you!!!
This video falls into the catigory as EPIC!!! The footage that you have in here is amazing!
I'm a latecomer to watching 4K nature videos on youtube. Just got a 27" monitor, hooked up via HDMI-display port to my new desktop. I typed in "nature films on HD, UHD" to check the quality of my monitor. Viewed a few of these time lapsed films. I must say that everyone should be encouraged to view these types of films. It is just so awe-inspiring to see nature so spectacularly captured on film. Look forward to seeing more
A beautiful synthesis of music, photography and storms!
Amazing work Mike, you would love some of the desert storms we get here in Central Australia !!!! 🌩⛈👍
Its Mind Blowing and you did it very awesome, Love it every time
Some of those storms almost look tornadic.
The lightning over the grand canyon shots. Amazing.
very impresive!perfect work!Thank You!
thank you!!
Once again I am awe struck! Love the Grand Canyon sunset sequence at the 4:20 mark and REALLY love the closing sequence before the credits. I can see that closing sequence being used in a movie.
Thank you for that, appreciate it!!!
ABSOLUTELY A BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE!!!! Music went well with it too!!! LOVE IT!!!
Amazing.
And a completely letter free screen. Thank you!
Bravo!!! Encore! Encore! Encore!!!
Really cool stuff. Great work.
Wow, it is so hard to find HD weather time lapses, but every time I see one it is mesmerizing
One WOW wasn't enough....absolutely breathtaking!
Through your amazing work I discovered Peter Nanasi's. It's like something simbyotic between image and music.
Awesome, so glad you love his stuff!
How is it that this video doesn't have millions of views?
The most incredible film I have ever seen!
Mike is a GENIUS Film maker! I wonder how many of Mikes fans feel like I do when watching these Amazing films. I view them as Magnificent displays of Gods Creation.
2:10 Wow ❤❤❤
Jaw dropping. Just stunning. The only thing more amazing is people that thumbs-down a video like this. WTF???
Am a former sniper and you must be patint as us snipers, have many hours behind scopes and cameras,but you are one of the best photograph i ever have watched. Thank's for you making out of this world entertaining. Thank's man
Time lapse and high speed slow motion photography is magnificent. It’s how I imagine God sees things.
Having met up with you in the wild when some of the most epic parts of this film was created, I can vouch that those moments, especially that surreal shelf cloud near Tombstone, makes chasing Arizona all worth it! Fantastic work for what was such a short lived season!
Thanks so much Lori!!!
Who knew that shelf would end my film, but it was THAT good haha
Amazing love it
Woow!stunning and beautiful! Great music too! Bravo!
Jesus Christ. I can see why this video wasn't promoted by youtube's algorithm, but this video deserves so much praise. It should be more popular. TH-cam, use this to inform your machine learning.
Why do you think it wasn't promoted? Appreciate the kind words!!!
This is really amazing footage, I know how much time it takes to collect all this. Well done!
Thank you!!!
@@MikeOlbinski No, no
Thank you.
Aaaaand... I’ve just been totally eye-gasmed.
I'm glad :)
Simply fantastic!!! Thank you for this wonderful work!
8 minutes of pure magic. Wonderful film.
Very very beautiful! Excellent work! Greetings from Poland :)
Love your Work!
Thanks man! Give it a watch when the 1080p version is ready haha
Lol! Will do!
That without a shadow of a doubt has to be one of the most jaw dropping videos I have ever seen. I have found the holy grail of timelapse!
Having my breath taken away for 8 minutes was kind of hard on my lungs, but man, this footage is simply amazing!!!
Thank you!
If I was wearing a hat, I'd have to tip it to you. Bravo Mike. Another super film with some pretty epic scenes. You're my timelapse idol. 👏🏼🤓
Thank you kind sir!
Mike Olbinski Thank you for blessing our eyes with this triumph
Every TIME.. Dang :P, WOW, Im glad your kids are still getting out watching those storms with you, And i understand why you might have cut some of those shots short but in everything you do out there Stunning work regardless.
Thank you YET again for another totally mind blowing movie of yours and the dedication you bring to get those out.
Well Till next year i suppose.
Thanks again.
Thank you Richard!
I am in awe, both of my planet and of Mike Oblinski.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you.
You know, I think the Big Guy picked you specifically just for this reason. What other explanation is there?? Your videos just blow me away!!! I'm going to subscribe to your channel. First and only time I ever will. 💕💕💕
Again Peter's Soundtrack is on point!! is he a one man band? if he is I have to differ, He is a one man Orchestra!
1:45 it's like your adding white ink or paint in water and it mixes in it so beautiful
To date the best/most amzing nature timelapse video on YT, not only amongst the stormlapse videos, but within all nature videos (based on watching about 150-200 hours worth of 1-20 minutes long timelapse footages in the last 3-4 years).
Perfection in colours, picture quality, view angles, film like lapse timing, and matching the storms' density/power to the different parts/acts feeligs of the music, etc. Outstanding vision, planning and execution in every aspects!
There are many other great videos, but most of them failing in one of these things (most usually missing the importance of the last one).
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece!
Mike! awesome pictures fantastic video! Just one problem with.. only 8:07 min :) Thank You! :)
haha, so funny, other people will say it's TOO long :) Thanks for the kind words man!
Mike Olbinski make a special version a extended edition for people who can't get enough
Honestly, whether it's long or short, they'll always be at its best, like Pecos Hank.
I agree with every other comment, your work is beautiful. I guess I don't know what a "monsoon" is, these look like rotating super cells to me. Am I wrong?
OK, I apologize, I thought a monsoon was a hurricane in Asia or the Orient, I just looked and I see the definition is a bit broader. Still, incredible work, thank you
Yeah, not a ton of supercells in this one, but there were a few! A monsoon is a season shift in winds that brings on a rainy season.
Monsoon is not a storm itself, but the shift in winds that brings moisture up from tropical overflow. Southern Arizona, by latitude, is in the subtropics, and the wind-shift funnels moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of California and the Pacific, creating conditions that are primed for the resulting rainy season.
Once again...AWESOMENESS!!! Well done Mike.
Some of the best natural footage I've ever seen
5:25 hope i can see this beautiful things, absolutely alone then i will show that to my wife someday
In the summer, go out to a dark sky and you WILL see it!
And who knows? A thunderstorm while you are at it!. I've only experienced a thunderstorm storm to the north of me whilst clear skies were overhead
Stunningly beautiful! Otherworldly!
I got chills at 5:23 . To see the awesome power of nature and these huge storms and the enormous topography of our world only to be reminded of our place in the universe with the sight of our own galaxy sure can make you and all of your problems feel very small and insignificant. Its rare to have such a shocking moment of clarity.
Your work is mind blowing.
thank you for recommending this youtube and THANK YOU mike for being there to record this
Beautiful work Mike. Very special!
That, was awesome!!! Mother Nature at her best. Thank you so much, for all the hours and hard work you put into this. This is a video that, I’ll watch, over and over again. Absolutely breathtaking.
I'm hooked..Mike Oblin ski is the king of dedicated storm photographers and chasers-massive admiration.xxx
**If you have blinked during this video, please re-watch**
It is rare there is a video in which *every* frame is a stunning picture. This video goes beyond that.
Absolutely stunning, and the music, blown away.
Great job.
thank you!!!
