VOLCANIC ECLIPSE
We see our Earth in Motion. Capturing Change.
A portrait of the Earth from the inside out and the outside in.
VOLCANIC ECLIPSE was immersively recorded during the Total Solar Eclipse of 1991, on the geologic summit of Mauna Kea, a sacred place, 13,796 feet altitude. Capturing this event with several custom camera mount/rigs, multiple video and still cameras, telescope, and solar filters. One of our custom mounts was designed to pan around the horizon 360 degrees during the entire duration of the 3 hour eclipse to record the surreal light and stunning surround of the environment. Another camera was on a steadycam hand-held. A third video camera was hooked up to a telescope with solar filters for a close up view of the eclipsing sun. The sound is the natural wind (looped) on top Mauna Kea, the tallest island mountain in the world. Due to a recent large eruption of Pinatubo, a volcano in Indonesia, the usually clear skies atop Mauna Kea, the site of some of the worlds largest telescopes and observatories, was hazy obscuring lower landscapes of craters. The eclipse, however, was happening above the clouds, as were we, so that was not obscured. Simultaneous to the total solar eclipse was an active eruption of Kilauea volcano, one of the worlds most active volcanoes, with massive amounts of lava pouring into the ocean. The confluence of this Total Solar Eclipse and simultaneous active volcanic lava flows inspired VOLCANIC ECLIPSE.
