Exploring the Nantahala River

[Mark Williams]

I made a couple of visits this summer to the Nantahala River which is located near Topton, North Carolina. “Nantahala" is a Cherokee word meaning "land of the noon day sun." It is a fitting name for the Nantahala Gorge considering the sun only reaches to the valley floor at midday. This video was shot in August 2016 using a Panasonic GH4 camera, set at 1080p 60fps and recording at 200mbps. Lenses used were the Panasonic 14-45, 45-175, and Olympus 60mm macro as well as 75-300. Other equipment used was a Benro S-6 tripod, Tascam DR-40 audio recorder, and Rhino Slider V1 carbon. Edited with Edius 5.51. Music “Time Scapes” licensed for use from audionetwork. For best quality viewing select the HD button and 1080p.
