Featuring an original score by Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, Eureka, etc) Bear wrote about composing Temporal Distortion here. Thanks to Bear for taking the time to do this!

There is a 23 minute long extended cut, available for digital download here.
The extended cut is 23+ minutes of Milky Way, Aurora and other night timelapse, it has two original scores by Simon Wilkinson, as well as some from his Royalty Free collection.

What you see is real, but you can’t see it this way with the naked eye. It is the result of 20-30 second exposures edited together over many hours to produce the timelapse like taking . This allows you to see the Milky Way, Aurora and other Phenonmena in a way you wouldn’t normally see them.
In the opening “Dakotalapse” title shot, you see bands of red and green moving across the sky. After asking several Astronomers, they are possible noctilucent clouds, airglow or faint Aurora. I never got a definite answer to what it is. You can also see the red and green bands in other shots.

At :53 and 2:17 seconds into the video you see a Meteor with a Persistent Train. Which is ionizing gases, which lasted over a half hour in the cameras frame. Phil Plait wrote an article about the phenomena here.
There is a second Meteor with a much shorter persistent train at 2:51 in the video. This one wasn’t backlit by the moon like the first, and moves out of the frame quickly.
Watch for two Deer at 1:27 (look for a quick flash in lower left)
Most of the video was shot near the White River in central South Dakota in September and October 2011, but there are other shots from Arches National Park in Utah, and Canyon of the Ancients area of Colorado during June 2011. The Aurora were shot in central South Dakota in September 2011 and near Madison, Wisconsin on October 25, 2011.
Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 60D
Canon 16-35, Tokina 11-16
Shot in RAW format. Manual mode, Exposure was 30 seconds on most Milky Way shots, 15-30 seconds on Aurora. ISO 1600 – 6400 F2.8.
Thanks to Dynamic Perception for their support, and for making the Stage Zero Dolly, which I used on most of the shots.

wow. i’ve seen many great time lapses before and this is probably my favorite one. the motion of the foreground and background at different speeds is just amazing! i need to fly out to North/South Dakota to see that sky!
Greatest Timelapse ever! i see it mostly everyday. Great music that just adds to the great pictures.. How i wish the night sky would be visible like that to the naked eye.. TY TY TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY!!!!! for creating this video
Je peux te dire que ce n’est nullement absurde !
Thank you for giving the lens and settings!! I finally got a Cannon wide angle and have been taking photos of regular N. Lights. Have only seen the moving ones, in which the whole sky is filled but had no idea how to shoot them! I have a time lapse set up but have only used it with meteor shows and am thinking I need to switch to the wide-angle lens.
This film is an amazing piece of art, the way that you have framed things. Can’t even imagine the time it took you to edit it and put it together. Kudos!!
