StormStock first to offer 16K video

ARLINGTON, Texas - StormStock founder Martin Lisius continues to push the envelope of innovation by producing and offering 16K content.

Early this year, Lisius built and tested a 16K camera system that could film at a mind-blowing 15,985 x 5792 resolution (2.76 “Panavision 70”). Once he completed with testing, he headed out to the prairies of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming to search for supercells, the rarest and most powerful type of thunderstorm.

The result of his effort is a short film titled “Prairie Wind,” a 4-minute tribute to the skies over America’s Tornado Alley. The film can be viewed in HD, 4K or 8K at https://vimeo.com/martinlisius/PrairieWind16K.
