Blood. Sweat. Tears. Joy. That's what this spring was for me. The miles, the grind, the failing, the epic days missed, the lack of sleep, the jubilation, the friendships strengthened, and the time away from my family. And when the chasing was all done...wondering, was worth it all?
Heck yeah it was.
I had three goals this spring: Get a tornado on time-lapse, capture the best footage I possibly could, and chase as much as my schedule would allow. That ended up totalling 18 chase days. 20,000 miles driven. Almost 60,000 time-lapse frames shot. Nine total states. Hours and hours and hours of editing. All between April 15th and June 15th.
And the tornado? Not only did I get one, but I got six more. On April 15th, the very first day out, I saw two tornadoes in the Texas Panhandle. May 9th was Wynnewood and Sulphur in Oklahoma (both in this film), as well as Trinidad on June 13th in Colorado. And while most tornadoes will be obvious in the film, you'll have to use a keen eye to spot the first two, which appear at 2:08 and 2:13. The Wynnewood tornado, which you will see at the very end of the film, was one of the most surreal moments of my life. I was so focused on keeping up with the storm that day, that I barely realized that I had captured what I'd been working so hard to get. I texted my wife a few photos and simply said "Baby I did it". It wasn't until she responded "Babe, it's beautiful. I'm so happy for you" that I completely lost it - live stream going on in the truck, people watching, and tears streaming down my face.
But that's how much this spring meant to me, and how hard I was going. Most of the time exhausted. My typical routine would be to leave Phoenix sometime in late afternoon, drive all night, sleep an hour or two in the truck and then chase the next few days. And then drive home all night again. I did whatever I could to to minimize the time away from my family. Heck, I once even shot a wedding all day, left the venue, and drove all night to chase. I didn't want to miss anything this spring.
What's awesome to me is that some of my best stuff came from marginal days, where it took some effort and crazy luck to get sick storm structures. Those were the surprises - amazing clips worthy of the final product despite the chase day starting out subpar. Combined together with everything else, I think it's some of my best footage to date!
Technical note...this film marks the first time I used my Canon 5DSR and 11-24 for time-lapse, which I bought right before the spring started (Thank you Martin Heck for the help!). I'm not 100% sure of course, but I believe the tornadoes in the film may be some of the first ever captured in 8K resolution. The 50 megapixels that camera offers was huge for being able to zoom into certain shots and still maintain fantastic quality and sharpness. Couldn't be happier with that beast. I also used my trusty 5D3 for the tighter shots, with the 35mm, 50mm or 135mm.
I have to mention Kerry Muzzey here...he has surpassed being kind to me. This is the 3rd or 4th time he's donated a song to one of my projects and I'm forever grateful. His music is powerful, haunting at times, and always, always perfect for the story I want to tell. This year I knew right away that "Found" was the song I would use. Please visit the links above to support his work!
There are a lot of names to thank which are listed at the end of the film. I owe them all so much for helping me this spring. Nowcasting, making me turn around when I was headed to Montana, teaching me about forecasting, helping me choose the right new camera, editing input, and just being good friends. I am very blessed to have some amazing people around me!
Most of all to my wife, Jina. She knows...every year I'm gone longer. I'm sure next year could be worse. But through it all, even when it's really tough, she's always right behind me. Making things work when I'm away. There are never enough words to cover how amazing she is. But she knows and I know - this film wouldn't happen without her.
I think that's about it! Thanks to everyone for the kind words of support all year. I truly hope you enjoy this one! On to Monsoon 3!

Not even words could describe how incredible this short film is. Seriously, I'm at a sheer loss of words; the photography, the colors, the time-lapses, and scenery. Everything about this is profound. This film is the crossroads of where high-effort and incredible payoff collide. Disgustingly underrated for this platform.
Loved the rhythmic coordination between the cloud n the music....those drums stopped and clouds slowed down.....excellent coordination.
I cannot think of any other chaser who puts as much effort & care into severe weather timelapses as you do. Every shot is fascinating to watch; just knowing everything you see is real makes everything all the more special & downright incredible. Thank you very much for what you do Mike!
Wow, thank you so much, I truly appreciate that!!! I mean, all the effort for reals, hearing this kind of thing makes it worth it. Thank you!
You're absolutely welcome. :)
@SirBongsAlot Hank is very good too, but has a little less attention to details. Few years ago there was a guy Nikolaus Wegner (lightalive photography or something) doing timelapses in Wyoming, he was as good as Mike, but dissapeared in the meantime, probably got bored of removing dust spots from the images...
Currently, I have to agree that Mike is the best storm timelapser out there and I hope he keeps his crown for many years to come :)
💕💕💕Your comment.
@@MikeOlbinski I agree enthusiastically with these well-worded accolades, above. The weather images are in themselves thrilling, and your artistry "guilds the lily". Thank you!
I don't normally comment on videos, but this one was too phenomenal not to. Absolutely stunning job, this is one of the best weather videos I have ever seen.
Thanks Sean for taking the time to do so, I appreciate it man!
I can't believe anyone would thumbs-down this. Amazing work.
Thank you, but people do haha
I think all the chemtrail people would
You will have to EXCUSE ME but I live under a rock in COW CRAP , IA. , but if somebody would please explain " Chemtrailers " ? I think I know but would like a bit of reinforcement to my thought processes on this subject !
To affect the weather is possible but to control it , to me is a bit much !
Thumbs down counts as interaction still.. so it counts.
Meh, pay them no mind. Must be joyless Democrats...
I watch this over and over. Takes my breath away every time. Thanks, Mike!
Casi me llevó a las lagrimas. Tanta grandeza y tanto poder y belleza.
Y esa musica y esa edición..
Mil gracias.
In 5 minutes and 47 seconds, you just showed the world, through your eyes, what makes the love of storms so addicting. This is your best video you have done, and you have had some epic ones. Shorty award winner for sure. Thanks for sharing! Just mind blowing.
Wow Craig, thank you sooo much my friend. I hope it conveys that as well...it never gets old or tiresome to me really. I love doing this!
Fantastic, incredible. The dance of mischief. Brilliant accompanying music too. Love it
Absolutely beautiful! It's amazing how the clouds dance like that and the beautiful blue ahhh absolutely magical well done!
Thank you!
Wow... I am AWESTRUCK. You have produced a work of art that is a combination of captivating, terrifying, belittling, and any other number of conflicting adjectives and adverbs I can come up with. So beautiful... Thank you for sharing this with the UA-cam audience.
Thanks!
What he said at the beginning,end and in the description made this video a real tear jerking experience thanks Mike love it!
Oh god... it's so perfect..
Outstanding and excellent, superb editing. What a magnificent planet we live on
Mother nature playing. Absolutely incredible work, unbelievably good.
Very nice! time lapse really shows rotation of storms. Thank You!
Yessir, thank you for the kind words!
I got to the end of the video, and realized that my mouth was hanging wide open and that I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for showing us this glimpse into the vast, horrible and beautiful power of planet Earth.
I don't know how anyone could dislike this video.
Clearly, 3 people must hate themselves.
Seriously, thanks man :)
I have hit thumbs down on accident before🤦♂️. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Thank you very much for this captivating film. You did a great piece of art. The blending and music is so organized.
Absolutely jaw-dropping photography. The care and creativity that went into this program are abundantly clear. Thank you for this thoroughly satisfying video.
Wow! What a beautiful masterpiece.... Literally gave me chills, keep up the amazing work Mike. Your are an inspiration to me in my photography
Who can dislike this ? Probably the most epic, the most beautiful and the most amazing storm timelapse video EVER ! You are a genius !

Even Nat Geo will be jealous of this masterpiece! What a videos you make man!
Fantastic footage that should be awarded! Keep going on man, that hard work was definitely worth it. Completely stunning!
Thank you!
Magnificent, Extraordinary, Beautiful , Amazing and wonderfully captivating ! Thourghly enjoyed every single second of this film ! Thank You ! 💜
The way you sinc the video with the music is just so amazing
Thank you, I work super hard at that!
Watching this on acid was incredible man. Our planet is a mysterious one at best. The power and might seem so at large compared to a single human. Astonishing beauty with hints of death and disaster. Thank you so much for capturing this.
Absolutely incredible. Your work is astounding.
Thank you!
Wow! Everything else is too amazing to even comment, but your editing to the music pulls all this magic together.
You inspire me Mike. I saw the video when it first came out and thought it was the best I had seen. It still is the best some six years later. And Kerry's music is sublime. Such a perfect match of visuals and sound.
Thank you so much Boris, that means a ton man!
Masterpiece! Bravo. Phenomenal footage and excellent editing. Most excellent!
I watch your films at .5 speed in order to see more details and STILL, I must watch each multiple times as I cannot get enough of the magic! I am overwhelmed by how many reactions and emotions well up in the course of viewing them... THANK YOU (and those who support you) for the incredible dedication in bringing such amazing scenery to us! This artwork is nearly as timeless as the weather itself-
This is beautiful, Mike! You are so talented! This is like a cloud symphony or ballet. The music is perfect! Thank you for sharing this amazing video with us.
Thank you!
This video is the best I've seen. Thank you for sharing this. It's honestly just breathtaking.
THank you Jessica, wow!
I am typing this through tears...You have produced one of the most emotional powerful pieces of film I have ever experienced. The extremely precise editing with the musical dynamics has resulted in an astonishing impact with myself and anyone else who sees it. You have tremendous talent and this deserves to reach a wider audience! I trust that you will be able to continue to use your skills for many years showing the world this dangerous beauty. Well done!!!
I don't know if most people read your comments/story/thank you's that's listed in your description or if they just watch the video and keep it pushing, but I really hope people do read it because it is inspiring. There's just as much passion spread out in your description as it is in each video you create. Channels like yours is why UA-cam is is so great.
Thanks so much Chris, I appreciate that! I know a lot of people don't because I always get questions about music or what cameras I used, and I'm like...it's right there in the description...and also the credits usually haha
Mike Olbinski exactly. Some people don't want to read in this day and age.
Did you see the crazy storms in Buckeye, Az., yesterday and the last few days? If so, I hope to see it in your next monsoon video.
Excellent video! Historically, so much of the focus seems to be only on the main tornado funnel, when in fact it is only one part of a much larger system that is in motion. This video captures the motion of the entire storm, which is just as amazing as any tornado funnel.
That is truly some of the most awesome and awe inspiring footage I have ever watched, thank you
Awesome footage of cloud formations. An astounding achievement. I can't get enough of watching it. Great choice of soundtrack as well. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you for highlighting a level of beauty in storms that can only be perceived through your dedication, skill and use of technology in creating this magnificent work.
I've watched Monsoon I-II-III, and The Chase of you and in means of Visual-Musical Synchron, this is the best I have watched yet.. Always in awe of your work, in collaboration with Kerry Muzzey's most powerful and dramatic scores... God Bless you and please, NEVER STOP CHASING, NEVER STOP THE PURSUIT... Best Regards.
😲 I can’t believe that I haven’t encountered this video until now. This was EASILY some of the most beautiful approx 6.5 mins I’ve encountered on UA-cam. Thank you for the time and care you’ve put in to making this masterpiece 👏🏻👏🏻. Moving right on to part 2 without any hesitation 👍🏻
Hope you enjoyed part 2!!!
Thank you for creating and sharing this video. Very impressive commitment, effort, and talent you have shown in your work.
That is truly awesome. Never seen anything like that in my life. Thank you for giving me the opportunity!
Absolutely the best storm time lapse I've ever seen, incredible job!
Thank you!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE compilation of work. Truly mesmerizing!! 🔥🔥🔥
Incredible photography! I wish you every success that you so deserve!
Came back to this years later because it is one of the most impressive and stunning videos on youtube. man this clouds at 4:08 give me goosebumps
Thank you so much for that!
A fortunate day: when I found your videos. What a treat. Grandeur, splendor, art.
One of the most amazing and beautiful things I've ever seen. I keep watching it. It's astonishing.
Why is everyone always focused on a few dislikes but ignore all the likes. Why does it matter to you so much if a random person liked something that you liked? Just enjoy what makes you happy, your happiness doesn't depend on a "like" or "dislike"
Beautiful video Mike
Thank you so much!
Amazing footage from one of the top storm photographers of our time! Superb work Mike!!!
Wow, thank you for the high praise!!!
Came here to watch this again. It is still stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks!
Vorticity... Another great one Mike. Well Done
Your videos remind me so much of how precious life is. I’m a Christian/Believer and seeing what God created and how you,Mike, capture these incredibly beautiful moments...melts my heart! You Sir have a talent! A talent that soothes many hearts! Keep up the good work👏🏾
Thus far, my absolute favorite of all your work...that I've seen. Truly amazing and breathtaking!!

WOW!!! This is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE... I'm completely blown away by those pictures... keep up that work!!!
This is a crown jewel. Mike - you are a remarkable craftsman.
Thank you Jayme, that means a lot!
Beautiful--terrifying--awe inspiring--the music also added so much! Thanks
Mr. Mike Olbinski! What you have done here man, it is just absolutely amazing! From one Canon-loving-photog to another I say, "Thank you Mike for bringing such stupendous art to our craft!" Bravo! 😀 And yes, Jina, thank you for letting Mike wander!
Mike, your work is excellent, i love this video and others too, but this...so much nice storm's, cloud's, lightning strikes, and that music is fabulous. Hat down ;)
Your big fan from Slovakia. :)
Very nicely done! Loved that slow end part, too, just perfect!
This so should be a video that goes viral. Stunning, epic, you just can't stop watching.
Dude you're an underrated UA-camr that needs more Subs!
Keep up the Great WORK!
Thank you!!!!
So good... It's hard to even find the right words... I could say amazing or awesome or mind blowing and I don't feel like that does it even remotely any justice. Congrats, amazing work!! Even a poet would probably be at a loss for words.
Awww man, that's so great dude, I appreciate the kind words!
Thank You Mike, for your artistic fusion of amazing footage and a great music score!! I have been viewing Storm chasing and Tornado vids for some time with a fascination and awe and thought I had seen them all, but then I came across your work! Such stunning time lapse video, expertly edited to produce a jaw dropping visual explosion of awesomeness and a spine tingling experience, I will not tire of watching this!! X
This is amazing! I am very inspired by this and all the time and effort you put into literally chasing your passion!
Thanks Max, means so much!
Try to watch it again later when 1080p is available :)
I simply cannot believe it only took you 18 days to capture those amazing storms. Phenomenal work! very inspiring :)
I have long been thinking of doing a weather video montage with curated and some self composed music under the title The Weather Symphony--but here it already is. Bravo
Appreciate that!
Perfect placement and timing, stunning videography and grading. Perfect! Your work is real art, and an inspiration! May you never run out of hard drive space! : )
Nature's Magic !! Great work, beautiful music, tons of hardwork ! [Suggestion: Key reason for low views is the title and description, change it to searchable keywords - deserves million views]
Yeah, I am not sure what I'd change it too
@@MikeOlbinski "Joe Rogan". haha. I've just recommended Reverent vid to r/JoeRogan Reddit page.
