You've really captured the North Rim mood. I've been there half a dozen times throughout my life. I was actually there with my family last August!
 
Your video work is outstanding, and that lightning you captured is spectacular. It's a really great video. I liked the editing, the time lapse - and how did that guy in the lodge window stay so still??? Again, really great work.
 
Also, killer is the soundtrack - are you using Omnisphere 2? I just have Omni 1 but am curious about the upgrade to 2.
 
Top notch - I'll put yer vid on whenever I need to get a little North Rim mojo going.
 
thanks,

This is excellent, Bjorn.  Stunning videography and photos, and the soundtrack, which could have stood on its own it was so good, suited it perfectly.

Loved the video ..Whew that G C place is certainly very Powerful , Mysterious and Majestic .
I thought you did a very good job with the sounds .The music had almost a hint of Native American Indian going on .

If you saw a couple of nerdy guys with lots of camera gear at the Grand Canyon, that was us.
And that guy in the video standing still at the window? Photoshop/Vegas Pro tricks. I was wondering if anyone would notice that.
I find myself using Omnisphere (v2) quite a lot for the atmospheric stuff. I can't say that v2 is whole lot better than v1 though.

Thanks! I enjoy putting music to video which keeps getting easier to do - the technical part that is.

Thanks! I've done some  Native American music using Orange Tree Samples Mesa Wind which is excellent.

Bjorn, awesome project and results here. Excellent choice of sounds and pictures. I've made a few pictorial videos but nothing at this level. I would like to head out west one day and also see the Grand Canyon, and this video only confirms it would be a very awesome experience.  Great footage and presentation. Very much enjoyed this share Bjorn!

Hi,
Nice time spent watching thoose wonderfull pictures.
Music ,to my ears,has something somewhat scary,as if we were waiting for something terrible to happen...
Fortunatly the terrible thing doesn't happen,at least in your video...
Thanks for sharing.
All the best.

I very much enjoyed that - the video was awesome.   I never get tired of watching clouds "evolve" like that.   As for the music, it fits the video well and I think it's one of your strongest pieces!    Inspiration and all...

It works well as a soundtrack, which is what you were trying to accomplish. I'm not sure that many people would buy it to just listen to as music though since it doesn't have a definable melody they can sing or hum. On the other hand, somebody's buying those "trance" records, so what do I know....

Great great stuff.  Excellent marriage of video and music.  I wouldn't change a thing about the music. 
 
Very tiny suggestion, if you happen to re-open the project for editing: it is a little bit jarring to see still pictures after so much video.  Maybe add a pan/zoom effect to the stills so they all appear to have movement, like the pan and zoom you added on the closing photo. 
 
Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.

That was nicely done! The music seemed a bit ominous for the cloud shaping but as it grew darker, it worked. 
I've only been there once and your production took me back. Thanks.
