Glowworms in Motion - A Time-lapse of NZ's Glowworm Caves in 4K

  • A Time-lapse of New Zealand’s Glowworm caves as they have never been seen before. Filming this involved sleeping in caves for multiple days in complete darkness with just the sounds of the cave to keep us company (and the occasional eel). Read the full story of how we pulled this off on our blog: bit.ly/GlowwormTimeLapse
    UPDATE: This video won New Zealand Geographic's 2015 Photographer of the Year award in the Time-lapse category
    About the Series:
    Living a Kiwi Life is about a Canadian couple (me and Jenna) who have lived in Canada all our lives and made the decision to move to New Zealand having never gone there before. We quit our jobs, sold our houses and cars and left everything we knew to explore an unknown.

      I'm 35. Once, I did my own thinking independently of the past and thought of how I already looked ahaed at the future as a property of the past. Knowing that even later, I would see the same about now. So I stopped anticipating the future and was like "This is the environment now" and adapt to the one that's here now. My awareness of the next one is very nil but I know that just becaue it's as though it doesn't exist doen't mean it's truly never coming and when it does come, I will adapt to that one from scratch and look back at how I didn't even think the current one existed and already did what I wanted to do at the time. I don't care to bother with it. Some people when they're old enough, their brain adapts to think that way. Some of you young people have to work to create a future with it way of thinking and can't take it for granted. You might be making plans. You might not get around to it and then lose interest but feel like you already did what you wanted to do discovering the answer for yourself. To pull off long focused 10 day plans of getting jobs done such as organizing things, you have to have seeds in the process of preparing a plan on how to do later parts and start working on adjusting your mind far enough ahead or something like that. They are just seeds and are not meant to be used in their current form and are meant to undergo improvisation along the way.

    +Emma Bedard, I can’t reply to your comment directly because of your account settings. Thanks for the comments on our videos. As for getting around NZ the absolute best way is to have your own vehicle, campervans are ideal as there are lots of places to park in NZ. We’ve got some stuff about the best way to get around and some the various companies on our blog. A cheaper option is to get on and off the various buses that travel the more popular tourist tracks. I would recommend Rere Rockslide as the coolest attraction in all of NZ but it is out the way. Other seriously cool options are Sandboarding, Tongariro Crossing or Taranaki and Shotover Canyon Swing.

    I was here as a child (maybe 8 years old). I'm 52 now and still remember it vividly. When people ask me where to go / what to see in NZ I always recommend Waitomo. It's not something you see every day. We did the whole Cape Reinga to Stewart Island thing one year (my family lived there when I was a kid). I have relatives all over NZ but I haven't been back since 1973. This place is the one that had the greatest impact.

    • @debpatterson4645
      @debpatterson4645 8 років тому

      One thing: when I was a kid and all this time, I've heard it pronounced (at the caves) like Why Toe Moe, but a couple of places I've heard Wait imo. Can you list the proper MAORI pronunciation? My dad (a kiwi) always said Why-toe-moe.

    • @Stokedforsaturday
