Huge, billowing nimbocumulus clouds could be seen in all directions while the “blue hole” remained over Sequin – that is until just before sunset when a stray storm cell over the Olympic Mountains passed over our community. I could see the squall approaching from the mountains through the window as we watched TV in our living room. So, I mounted my iPhone on a tripod and started recording time lapse video. The changing pinkish color of the clouds as the sun began to set, and the white hazy streaks of heavy falling rain began to conceal the mountains as the storm got closer. Not wanting to stop recording time lapse, I borrowed Diane's iPhone to record live video and photos of the dramatic event. 

This video is a compilation of time lapse, live video, still photos and panorama photos captured with two iPhones, a 7 Plus and a 7. I stripped the audio from live video recordings and added it to the time-lapse videos so that they weren't silent. Finally, I inserted a dramatic mood music track that was the exact length of my edited video, downloaded from YouTube. By the way, my Adobe Premiere Pro CC application crashed multiple times while rendering this video. After the third crash, I watched the export process, and at 97% completing, I identified and removed the problem: a very large panorama photo of the sunset, the last scene of my video. 

I hope that this video does justice in representing the actual dramatic experience. Let me know if you like the result!
