"As a time-lapse enthusiast, I wanted to create a documentary that offered more than just visuals. My plan was to create a film that would utilize time-lapse photography as the principal technique for acquiring the visuals while narration would provide a story of the deeply rooted history and geology of this incredible region. Professional time-lapse techniques bring the film to life with techniques such as the utilization of motion-control camera movements and a multi-month solar-powered time-lapse camera deployed into remote wilderness locations to capture seasonal change." - Doug Urquhart
