I spent 12 days floating the Grand Canyon and brought enough batteries to keep 3 time lapse cameras clicking away the entire time. I really wanted to share its majesty with you. I truly hope you enjoy!
You can also check out a longer more meditative cut I edited from the same shots here:

Extreme! Love your work man. Looks so good on my 1080 screen, wonder how it would look on a UHD.
I think I could be watching this all day! This is beautiful, you did an awesome job
That is beautiful Daniel! Can I ask if this is first posted in youtube? or in your site? Just curious though. Anyway you did a very good job here bro.
Hi LordPotato, so glad you enjoy it! I first posted this to youtube then to steemit. I need to get it up on my web site still. If you want to check my website heres is the link- www.danielkellybrown.com
That's awesome. Hey bro, I recommend you to do an intro post. You produce not only good but excellent content it might help you to get better rewards.
Ok cool I will look into that. Thanks for your advice amigo!
proud of you :D
gut
lol litterally zoned out to it.. i loved it!!!
Yes! Thank you, comments like these are precisely why I make these films:)
Great video, very atmospheric :)
It positively reminds me of the time lapse videos of this guy:
I have seen this guys work, its been a big inspiration to what I do! Such awesome stuff, honored to have my work considered to be similar.
So awesome. Those timelapses are incredible. That's a ton of work to do. Congrats!
Thank you JF! Greatly appreciated!
This is incredible! I can’t imagine all of the time and effort it took to make this, but I bet it was fun too! :)
Thank you! Yes it was indeed so fun to make. I truly love what I do for a living.
Cool!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Dope work mate! Both calming and inspiring.
Thanks Prof!
Captured beautifully
Thanks you Sajan!
Nice capture
Thank you!
Hello @cinemaninja please you vote me and follow
A great video. It would be nice to be there and take a video while traveling in this beautiful place. I upvoted your writing. I hope you will continue to share such beautiful post from now on. Thanks @cinemaninja
Yes indeed I cant believe how fortunate I was to spend some time there. I had to work hard so that I could share it with people who might never get out to see it. Its kinda a Karma thing I suppose.
Beautiful
isn't it the place where movie 127 hours was made?
Wow! Great job and killer images. I've had some friends float there and they all come back saying they are a changed person for better for experiencing this awesome treasure. Thanks for sharing and now following ya!
Ya that place really makes an impression on your soul. Its so peaceful down there!
i must say this is by far one of the most exceptional post i have seen on steemit as a curator.
p.s. do well to use tags that can make it easy for your post to be found.
video, vlog are good tags
cheers
@dante31
Hi Dante, So glad you enjoy it! I know I messed up the tags when I first posted this. I did not realize the first tag is the one that puts it into a category. It would be awesome if you could update the first tag in a post, but for now that does not seem possible. Perhaps its not with how it ties into the blockchain. Cheers!
This is amazing. I'm glad you took time to create this. This is one of those places I really want to visit in the future but until then i'll have to watch videos and images that people like yourself produce. Thanks again.
Thank you, so happy you enjoy it. Thats exactly why I made this, so that people who might never be able to get out to see it can at least get some sense for how amazing it really is.
OHHH this is so beautiful!!! If you like to watch interesting content I invite you to follow me and vote. Regards! :D
Thank you! will do!
So Perfect :o....
Hehe, thats funny:) and thank you!
very interesting movie, develop your skil mu @cinemaninja skil. and we continue to support you. warm greetings from antonysteem.
Your support is greatly appreciated!
wherever i see the term 4K in movies, then that is definitely best movie for me in terms of quality and content both
Hell, i've watched a LOT of timelapse videos. And i mean a LOT. And this is by far and away in the top 5 of all that i've seen. They way you alter the speed of pan across the sky is just a great innovation.
May I ask what slider rail you are using? I've been building my own for a while now but wondering if it's just worth purchasing one myself as i'm keen to get into creating my own stuff.
Hi Mark, thank you so much for your comment, so glad you enjoy my work! Your asking the right man about gear:) I have used all sorts of sliders from almost every company out there. I think my favorite one for travel right now is the dynamic perception stage one (link below). If I have a shoot that I can bring my truck to I use the dynamic perception stage zero as you just cant beat how solid it is, and you can make it really long by buying slabs of 80/20 on amazon for it. Making your own slider would be a fun challenge, but might not be worth your time. A cheep way to go would be to buy the stage one kit form dynamic perception and then get the 80/20 rail for it on amazon.
As far as motion controllers for the rail, you need to save up for the Emotimo Spectrum. I have been working for them helping to develop their products for 5 years now. It simply can not be beat in terms of ease of use and how solid it is. Its all controlled with a ps4 Controller ! Check out this promo video I shot for them featuring the spectrum -
Hope that all helps and let me know if you have any more questions! Love to nerd out on gear.

Im pretty much there on getting my own slider working. The great thing is that i can program it to do whatever i want

Need to get my arse in gear and finish it off but steemit is taking all my time right now :)
Beautiful atmosphere
Thank you!
Gorgeous footage, glad to see more photographers / cinematographers on here!
Thank you sir! Ya I really hope steemit takes over youtube and vimeo for video content. I really love blockchain technology and was so stoked to hear about steemit a week or so ago. In fact, steemit it really motivated me to get this grand canyon edit finalized!
Amazing shots! Great posts man! Keep it up! :D
Well F&*k me that was phenomenal. What program are you using to put the pictures together & sound over?
Thanks amigo! Used after effects and LRTimelapse for rendering the raw images to video and Primere for editing the video clips.
Awesome thanks, I have a few that i've put together but no where near as good as what you've put together. keep it up, looking forward to the next one.
More than happy to upvote, follow, and express my appreciation. These are amazing!
Much respect for the work and dedication involved.
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate your support!
Excellent post, very well articulated. thank you so much.
sehr gut gemacht
vaoov really great, very impressive
Wow I have always wanted to go there based on the pictures but I've never seen anything that captures a sense of the spirit of the place like that. I cannot even begin to imagine the work that this takes to put together. Thank you.
It is a tiny detail but I just adored those little red flowers opening and that change of light across them right at the end. It felt luck such an intimate detail for an enormous landscape like that. Love that.
Nive video and good editing!
Thanks appreciate it!
WOW!! I have only seen the milky way one time when camping up North!
Glad you enjoy. Hope you get out to see more of the milky way soon!
It is such a beautiful sight, crazy that we are a part of it too! Seems so distant
Glad you enjoy. Hope you get out to see more of the milky way soon!
Spent a few days on the north rim with my wife and kids last summer, and now my son and I are planning a north rim to south rim hike this June. He is 8, so still not quite appreciating what it all means, but he's going to love these!
Stoked you get to spend some time out there! Ya I had trouble comprehending the majesty of nature until a little after 8 years old myself. Hope you guys have fun and thanks for your support on steemeit!
wooow i relly like ur pote
that's really spectacular, I really like the moments when you can see the stars and the canyon at the same time.
I am in awe. You are very talented.
OMG! This is a true natural miracle! :D
Dang, that's awesome!!! You must have had such a great time filming it. I hope you brought a jacket or two as it can get a little cold out there. Worth it though, as your video can attest!
Thank you so glad you enjoy. Yes it was indeed such a fun time making this! It did get a bit chilly down there, but was in shirts and t-shirt most of the time. Hope to get back there again some time in the future! Cheers!
excelent volg
