storm chase highlights video in BELINGTON.I just finished watching the dvd with kurt hulst.
Relocated improves on that foundation.
It also demonstrates his development as a videographer and producer, as evidenced by the quality of this dvd both in content and packaging.
From laid back to intense to pure wow, the moods and dialog cover a variety of situations a chaser is apt to experience; and the storms are always the star of the show, which is how it should be.
I enjoy a certain amount of music for spice, but not a lot.
Anyone who knows ben knows how passionate he is about chasing.
He moved to oklahoma to maximize his opportunities to chase tornadoes, and 2011 rewarded him with a bumper crop.
The action starts on april 9 in mapleton, iowa, a day that drew a lot of chasers out for an early chase.
This section ends with a neat synchronization of freeze frames with music.
A couple weeks later, on april 24, things appear to have gotten a bit hairy for the benster out in baird, texas.
As he trains his camera on a distant lowering, a vortex spins up in the field next to him, and it becomes clear that circulation is establishing itself directly overhead.
The footage from the may 24 oklahoma outbreak is outstanding.
What more could a chaser possibly want?
The tornado continues to grow into a violent wedge with a collar cloud circulating around it like a monstrous merrygoround, dropping lower and lower toward an immense dust plume that rises up to meet it.
Remember i mentioned that this video packs wowness?
Well, here is a prime example.
Next, ben captures a spectacularly beautiful white ropeout of the shawnee tornado, which crosses the highway, then moreorless anchors in a field and attenuates into nothingness as debris drifts out of the sky, sparkling in the sunlight.
The camera probes high up the side of the disintegrating rope funnel, all the way up to its juncture with the cloud base.
The june 20 section, shot in nebraska with j.
Hehnly, is one i find a bit frustrating to watch because i.
He got great, ongoing footage of a cyclic supercell that kept popping out tubes one after the other.
A high point, fairly early in this part of the dvd, is some fantastic multiple vortex action after the first tornado crosses the road in front of the vehicle and then intensifies.
You see a gorgeous white cone with suction vortices pirouetting around its base, an elegant eggbeater.
Bad for me, but good for ben and j.
Right, that has nothing to do with storm chasing, but it was obviously a standout event for ben, as it would have been for anyone.
So why not conclude this 75minute dvd with a personal glimpse of a historic moment?
Relocated is a thoroughly satisfying video that anyone with a jones for tornadoes and severe weather will enjoy.
Be aware, though, that this is the real deal, a realistic and personal presentation of storm chasing as most chasers experience it rather than what reality tv has made it out to be.
The camera is often handheld by a guy who is either simultaneously driving or else trying to gain an optimal view from the passenger seat.
For more information and to place your order, , where you can also buy his first video, my first three years , for the same price.
I took it upon myself to do so because ben is a good friend, a passionate chaser, and a guy who puts not only expertise but also a considerable amount of heart into what he does.
Which is why relocated rocks, and why it belongs in your video collection.
