The creative folks at Field Notes, make short, simple films to showcase their products. Lately, they've been shooting on RED. To promote their latest limited edition, Night Sky, they dreamed up an incredible experiment that would nearly break YouTube. Knowing that YouTube now accepts 4K videos, Field Notes decided to do an "anti-time-lapse" shoot of the night sky. They traveled to Great Basin National Park in Nevada, and shot long exposures of the night sky. Then, they stitched their shots together to make a 6 hour and 20 minute video playable in 4K.
Steve Delahoyde who shoots for Field Notes described the epic video this way, "There was something... against the internet or something magical about just taking your time to look at the photos." When they thought up the idea to shoot the night sky in Great Basin, they decided "If we're going to do it, we should do something that nobody's done before."
