During my trip to Nevada for NAB, I took a little side adventure to visit the iconic Hoover Dam. I timed it perfectly, arriving right at magic hour when the light was absolutely breathtaking. The sky was painted with beautiful reds and warm tones, creating a stunning backdrop for this incredible landmark.
All of the footage was captured handheld using the Blackmagic Pocket 4K paired with the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8. While some of the handheld shots might give away my less-than-perfect stabilization, I think the raw, unpolished feel adds a certain charm to the visuals.
The music featured in this video is sourced from Artlist, which always delivers excellent tracks to complement the mood.
