With Winter Already Here,

here is a winter themed video, 

filmed by Jamie Scott,

five years in the making, this timelapse video documents the icy seizure of plants, leaves, and terrain across New York State and Montréal,

in the film he zooms from wide, aerial shots to macro frames highlighting the unique patterns of individual snowflakes,

Scott explains that this film was the hardest to create, in part, because of the changing climate. He says:

'Twenty years ago when I moved to New York, there were several large snowstorms every year, and snow was practically guaranteed. In the last five years, there has been much less snow, and it’s become less predictable and often only for a few hours, at best. To plan for these shoots, I would look at the long-range forecasts, but it was very unreliable. Originally, I wanted to shoot the whole piece in New York City and focus on Central Park like my previous films, but I had to keep going farther and farther north. As a result, the majority of the film was shot in upstate New York and Montréal',

to help shoot this amazing video above Scott fashioned two weatherproof boxes that housed his equipment for weeks on end. “At times, I was shooting with up to six cameras and four sliders,” he says. “I also lost two drones in the process.” you can watch the full timelapse, which is set to music by Jim Perkins, above, and find more of Scott’s work on Vimeo, the above video is not full HD to watch the HD version the link is here, it is making me feel cold just watching it!
