Located within California's Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, Yosemite National Park features world-renowned granite cliffs, 5 of the world's tallest waterfalls, and cinematic vantage points that continue to inspire.

This 4K time lapse footage primarily highlights El Capitan's Horsetail Falls during the park's unique "Firefall" event; a natural phenomenon that attracts a global audience in mid-February. Horsetail Falls is only visible when snowmelt from the top of El Capitan runs off the cliff face, meaning that this natural event is extremely rare to lineup the angle of the sun with the seasonally elusive waterfall.

A UNESCO world heritage site, Yosemite National Park's view of Half Dome and El Capitan from Tunnel View is Earth's best example of the effects of intense glaciation on granite bedrock, forming the Yosemite Valley. Displaying scenic timelapse video, Origin captures some of the best views Yosemite has to offer in varying and extremely rare light conditions.

Showcasing cinematic time lapse video from Cali's most popular National Park, please marvel at the sun rays dance across the valley floor as Horsetail Falls lights up bright orange; all in glorious UHD 4K+ quality.

Origin features the following locations: Firefall, Horsetail Falls, Tunnel View, El Capitan, Half Dome, Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls, Three Brothers, Merced River, and the greater Yosemite Valley.
