Timelapse NFTs

About

Hello!  This website is dedicated to showcasing high quality timelapse NFTs since I think they deserve more attention due to the difficulty inherent to producing them.  This list is curated by @Joey_Wittmann.  Please reach out to me on Twitter for any requests, comments, complaints, critiques, etc. relating to this website.  If you believe someone should be added feel free to @me on twitter with your suggestions for their consideration.  This website will look better eventually, but since I am still learning ipfs (and web design in general) you'll need to put up with the current format.  If you believe anyone shouldn't be on here for whatever reason please keep those thoughts to yourself and make your own website.  If you run another NFT curation site please reach out, I'd love for there to be some organization to finding curated work, which is why I also started nftcuration.eth.  NFTCuration.eth will be launched at a later date.

For the Artists

If you are the artist and want some detail changed/different NFTs highlighted let me know and I will try to update it with the next revision.  If you are the artist and do not want to be included on this list please reach out and I will remove you ASAP.  I'm limiting the number of collections/pieces I feature from each artist to three and will try to prioritize unsold works first.  I also plan on airdropping commemorative NFTs to artists featured on this site, but the best way to do that has yet to be decided.

Crashing into Nothing
    3 timelapses and 3 hyperlapses, two forms of time travel that I really enjoy utilizing. A way to bring my photography to life by stitching a stack of images together to create moving realities. With timelapses, the world moves on its own; with hyperlapses, I move with the world. I hope you feel a snippet of the life I felt while in these environments.

    3 timelapses at 3 unique times on Earth; moonrise, sunrise and daytime.

    3 hyperlapses depicting 3 different structures from where I grew up.

Chasing VAPOR
    Throughout the spring and summer months, storm chasers leave their homes and families to roam the great plains of the United States looking for something. Something familiar, yet something never before seen. Days, weeks, spent chasing ghosts; chasing water vapor. Waiting and wishing that the conditions will align, and the thing we depend on - the thing that we are made of - will appear out of thin air and produce something otherworldly, something that has never happened before, and will never happen again. But it all starts with water vapor.

    This collection comprises a set of time lapse scenes captured during the 2021 storm season. My goal with this collection is to capture the fleeting nature of storms and their reliance on something so minuscule as water vapor. All pieces are 8K resolution and are created with the future in mind, making them a perfect collection to display in any digital or physical gallery.

Featured within this collection are my best storm time-lapses I have captured over the years of documenting severe storms across Tornado Alley. These time-lapses feature Supercells, Lightning, Storm Structure, Storm Sunsets and much much more. Time-lapses will be added to collection as I create/develop. All time-lapses are in 4K resolution, and upon request can be up to 8K resolution if desired by collector.

Undaunted
    Undaunted is a limited series of severe weather timelapse videos I'm captured over the last 6 years of pursuing extraordinary storms. It is my hope to finally convey both the danger and emotion that captivates me every time I position in front of these monolithic beasts.

Standalone Pieces

Artist NFT Description
Hind Abuelgasim
A commitment to the lights, patience as they flow,
The cold made it difficult to withstand the blow,
Taken from damage to a sort of love language.

After seeing it once I burned with an alluring passion,
Seeing the luminous green light dancing.

I grew to love chasing the glow,
As no matter where I go,
I knew it would be there to ignite my soul.

A journey worth sharing with the world,
It showed me a beautiful life, a new point of view,
I hope from deep within me, that you see it too.

    “Space Xplosion” by Brandon Yoshizawa captures an unforgettable evening in the Eastern Sierra Mountains observing a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base.  During a twilight launch, the low setting sun illuminates the rocket’s exhaust plume and it can be seen for hundreds of miles as long as conditions are favorable.  A once in a lifetime event and no better way to capture a piece of history than from this picturesque view with colorful fall aspens and the rocket shooting out from behind the snow capped mountains.

Launch Date: October 7, 2018

Historic Significance: First ever attempt and successful ground landing of the rocket’s booster on the West Coast

Technique: Still photographs blended together to create a timelapse

Camera: Nikon D750 and AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G Photographic

Technique: “Blend” combination of exposures taken on the same night without movement of camera position or change in focal length

Notes: The still photographs of this timelapse have won numerous competition awards and have been featured in magazines worldwide

    My first ever Aurora Borealis chase led me to Yellowknife Canada which is touted as the best place in the world to see the Northern Lights given its proximity to the Arctic Circle and stable weather.  Yellowknife is known for its beautiful vast landscape with a multitude of lakes, perfect for summer aurora season. On the very first night, I made my way up the Ingraham Trail out to Cameron Falls to try my luck.  I hiked out after sunset with enough ambient light to easily navigate to the falls.  As I descended down to the base of the falls and took my first glance up, the green Aurora glow was already shining brightly against the blue twilight sky.  With my heart racing, I quickly setup my camera to run a time-lapse as the lights danced over the falls.  As the sky grew darker, the Northern Lights intensified and lit up the entire landscape in an eerie green glow.  Being able to witness nature’s lights in such a magical environment over a rushing waterfall was such a surreal experience and one that I will never forget.  First collector will receive a choice of one photographic still from this time-lapse.

    On a late season Spring night in early June, I found myself on top of a hill watching storms form as the sun set. This particular evening was forecast to have some major storms across the Northern Plains, and major storms there were.

    By 10pm local time in a very small town near Oelrichs, South Dakota, I was witnessing what seeming to be a constant lightning barrage from a line of storms moving into the area. The constant roar of thunder and strobe affect the lighting had was simply incredible.

    This time-lapse capture shows how crazy the lightning was this particular night on June 10th, 2021 in a small town of South Dakota!

    Navajo Point, a wonderful sight, glistens in the lowering light as I observe the storms over the Navajo Reservation to my east. "If this throws a boundary, we're in for something special," I say to my dad. I set up my gear and handed my dad a spare tripod for his phone. He is an official storm photographer for the day which which makes me proud. The line of storms quickly does what I wanted it to do: an outflow boundary is forced and a haboob is immanent. My camera, framed and ready to go waits for the chance to catch something special. My dad's phone, on the edge, waits for the rarest haboob to strike. Moments later, dust and lots of it appear in the distance. The cameras start rolling. A little plume turns into a large plume as it nears the rim. My dad stands in disbelief along side me, in awe of an event we will never see again as the winds pick up to 60mph. My passion of storm chasing, shared with my father, made this moment much more special.

    Watching the sun rays dance across the Yosemite Valley floor and illuminate Horsetail Falls, creating Firefall, was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life. Timelapsing over the years has shown me more context for how natural phenomena like this lineup on our amazingly diverse planet. Seeing the orange lava flow down this reverse tunnel view made me feel so small in this world.
