See all Show me
This is the first 14 minutes of a half hour mini-doc I have been working on. It's about me and another storm chaser Roger Hill. It follows us on various adventures chasing severe weather including Tornadoes, Lightning and Desert Monsoon storms. Highlights include us narrowly missing a major car crash, encountering giant hail and supercell thunderstorms. In part 2 you will be able to follow us on a very dangerous tornado intercept where we got caught between a large violent tornado and killer hail stones the size of grapefruit. I'll upload part 2 as soon as my upload limit resets. 90% of this I shot myself with my XDCAM HD F350. Music is mostly stuff I created in garage band. Hope you like, comments please.

    I think you're mad.
    But apart from that I think it is enthralling. The footage is unique - awesome in some shots.
    Not sure of your reasoning to put it up as a full length doco here, I'd be creating say a one minute promotion in the hope of selling to the highest bidder.
    Only a minor comment, felt the need for more human interaction on storm locations i.e. reactions, facial expressions etc. mind if you're a one man band I know it can be difficult.
    Brilliant stuff though. Love some of your innovations of hand holding to yourself (with a 350?) a great way to build muscles.
    I'd give it 5 positive ions out of 5.
    Cheers

    The hand holding to myself is shot with an HC1, just about all the rest is F350.

    Why is it here? Well I do wish to sell this show BUT it's all but impossible to sell a single 30 min show, but just possibly someone might see this and offer me some work or the chance to film the other bits needed to take this to a full hour. It won't be on Vimeo forever!

    How versatile is the 350!
    Just made for docos like this.
    I don't think it will be long before the offers come in.
    Adventurers like yourself deserve support for exhibiting such amazing footage at such high risk.

    Great looking footage. I'd add some background about how tornadoes are formed and why the central plains are unique for this activity.
