Tornado Watch
We're Not In Kansas Anymore
In the spring of 2024, Chris spent 11 days chasing storms down south across 8 states. Filming all the action featuring Ricky Forbes (including 6 tornados!!) was an absolutely wild experience. The nature of this project required run-and-gun filmmaking as a 1 person crew – always a tall order when attempting to maintain quality. However, Ricky was able to support with action cams (the guy has every truck mount you can imagine), and drone flights. Together, Chris and Ricky set out to capture the thrill of tornado hunting through documentary style filmmaking. We had no idea what we were going to see. We produced this action packed feature that covers the dynamics of chasing and the very real dangers of Mother Nature.
These storm chasers are the real deal. Reading complicated forecasts, navigating radar, getting crucial warnings out to the public and local authorities, and of course, capturing nature in all its glory. It’s a pretty special community of pros and enthusiasts (Ricky has some serious fans in Tornado Alley). After 8000km to Texas and back, ‘Brutus’ got us back safe with some stories to tell.
Thanks Ricky for the hospitality.
P.S. You’re crazy.
