Vorticity 2 (4K)

[@mikehoskins6491]

Just....absolutely jaw dropping. Mike....you are a true master of your art form. Please, PLEASE don't ever stop.

[@montyutube]

Mike Hoskins I agree wholeheartedly 👏

[@Cerinaya]

I love watching these types of videos. I don't live in an area empty or flat enough to see storms like this. Not disappointed with the smaller chance of tornados though.

[@eleanorcurrie6508]

Stunning and beautiful. A fantastic work of art by Mother Nature, the music composer and Mike's filming. Awesome!

[@amelialindsay2469]

WOW! This video and the music truly shows the strength, power and beauty of storms!

[@instant_mint]

This is breathtaking, I'm so grateful for all the work that went into this. The editing is perfect, the music too, and I can't believe how well all this was captured! Like, the flashing clouds with a starry sky in the background, that looks like a particularly tricky one but wow I guess that camera must be really good.

[@alyssahanwell5034]

I can barely breath after watching this the magnatude of this video is emotional i feel the way storm clouds do about many things sometimes you feel nothing then pulsing anger with a twist of fear then a sudden hush of calmness that stops you in your tracks blessed the things that bring us together that makes us stay together like honey and people who suffer from tradgedy

[@MikeOlbinski]

Wow, thank you for that!

[@claralong8926]

Thank you for making these storm films, I love and appreciate them more than ever I have, I appreciate them because I moved recently, my old house had an open field where you could watch all the storms and lightning and the sunsets, sadly my new house we are surrounded by trees that block most of the sky. So thank you for giving me a chance to see the big beautiful storms

[@MikeOlbinski]

That does make it tough, you are very welcome!

[@codyv308]

your timelapses never fail to bring tears to my eyes. the sheer scale, beauty, horror and grand awesomeness of storms isn't often captured like you capture it. you make me wanna grab a camera and drive out to the plains to see these immense beasts for myself

[@MikeOlbinski]

Thank you so much Cody, means a lot!

[@wallywest1054]

Oui j'ai pas de mots les nuages et le panorama sont incomparable et magnifiques

[@leamerrill3618]

This is so passionate and beautiful and scary and beautiful.... I’ve been on this earth for 53 years, I’ve traveled all across the US and Mexico, and have been a sky watcher since I was knee high to a grasshopper, and I have never seen weather like this before. Some of these storms create clouds and formations I’ve never ever seen before. This is the best video of nature and it’s power I have ever seen, hands down. I’m going to put it in my library so I can watch it often. I’m going to share this link everywhere. Wonderful wonderful video. Thank you and God bless you.

This was incredible! 2:30 mark was just beautiful. So many hours wrapped up in this SHORT 7 minute video you have to watch it more then once!! Bravo to you and keep on filming you have a keen eye for these storms. To your better half at home, THANK YOU for letting him do what he loves. Only good things will come from it!!

[@sharonolsen6579]

Visually STUNNING ! Exceptional film making ! ( For some of us ( me ) this will bring tears to the eyes.... it is SO impactfully beautiful ! )

[@Gringo_Lingo]

Your time lapses are amazing! You have a real talent for putting yourself in the perfect spots to capture the structure of these storms without getting rained on or blown away. The color and depth are so aesthetically pleasing. We're all looking forward to more of your work in the future.

[@rickwhite4137]

Just _ASTONISHING!_ 🏅🏅🏅 I'm sitting inside and looking at stormy weathers while it's a beautiful sunny and warm day outside.

[@MikeOlbinski]

Wow, thank you!

[@MrBrightlight66]

Exceptional footage the likes of which is rarely, if ever, seen. A vivid tutorial on storm dynamics.

[@CarbonRobloxide]

Exceptional is a major understatement 😅

[@sanchari.c]

Every few months I visit your channel and look through your videos, mostly when I need some cheering up or looking for an inspiration. I'm always recommending your stuff as much as I can, I wish I could catch every single person and make sure they watch your work. This is simply a different dimension of wonder. I cannot tell you how much I love the work you do, and it's partly because I love the sky and the clouds and the rain, but mostly because I love how you observe the underlying rhythm and interpret it so beautifully. Here I am today, and seeing that you've a new vid has definitely been the highlight. This has been the most exquisitely beautiful few minutes I've spent in recent memory.

[@julietteengel4160]

Unbelievably gorgeous! I would love to see this in 8k on the big screen. Music is perfect. Thank you sharing this work of art.

[@stephencameron1709]

I Have been so Blessed by watching this video Mike, I have sent it out to many of my close friends and had my wife watch it as well with the lights off and sound system woofed up, I have watched this at least 6 times and Your Music is Perfect, The centering of the clouds is spot on! Your patience must be like the one I read about in the book of James (Bible) James 1:2-4 Your family must be a blessing to you as you must be away for long lengths of time, Truly a fine lady your wife. I just wanted you to know that I found this website by no accident because my Creator of Heaven and Earth wanted me to see HIS Handy work and Bless My Heart, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN and May My Lord Bless You With Knowledge Of HIM Numbers 6:24-26

Wow! Amazing stuff again Mike! I had to slow down and rewind at 1:06 for the train. I thought it was a glitch at first. 😂 Love the mix of colors and the sync to the music. Thanks for sharing as always, Mike!

[@TheValueOfN]

The synchronised music perfectly complimented the visuals. It'd be interesting to learn how other music creators would write a soundtrack if they had raw footage at their disposal. It'd be the sort of thing that Andrew Huang would jump right on. Trust me!

[@Amatuer1]

I have to say, I keep watching this after work. I Have been a photographer for about 10 years and just now getting into time lapses, just bought a new camera for 4k. Just had to thank you for the inspiration Mike.

Yeah, I'm gonna need another dozen or so watches to really soak in the incredible majesty. Amazing work sir!

Where the clouds become great big titanic seething seas. Wave upon tsunami wave crashing and cascading with electricity and blinding wondrous light. Unleashing the mighty marauding twisting and turning beast to roam upon the plains and countryside....... Hope there's a third instalment because I can't wait........ 💙☁️💨⛈⚡️🌪
