Snowdonia Stock Footage - Cloud Inversion: Snowdon Massif at Dawn

Duration: 1 hour 29 minutes 54 seconds

Clips: 97

File Size: 35.27GB

Resolution: 4K UHD

This collection offers 97 clips of simply magnificent 4K UHD drone stock footage, captured during a cloud inversion event that I spent two years waiting for. This is world-class Snowdonia drone stock footage and some of the best ever captured of this phenomenon. The full spectrum of light is here: from clear daytime views to red fiery dusk and dawn scenes.

The perspective is captured high up on Y Foel Goch at the edge of the Glyderau range. Below, a majestic sea of clouds whirls like a bowl of soup, with the rugged mountains protruding like isolated islands. The drone captures this scene across the day:

• Iconic Peaks: The summits of Tryfan (917m), Glyder Fach (994m), Carnedd Dafydd (1044m), Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m), and Pen yr Ole Wen (978m) are all visible above the cloud layer. The Snowdon Massif (including Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon, Crib Goch, and Y Lliwedd) completes the background.

• Cinematic Motion: The low shots capture the top of the cloud layer, emphasising the cloud whipping up like cotton wool or whipped cream, while high views provide crucial establishing shots.

• The Best View: The way Tryfan emerges from the cloud at dusk is something you have to see to believe—arguably the best drone shots of Tryfan ever captured.

• Content Variety: Clips are left minutes long to allow long background plates of this rare phenomenon, and also allow for custom timelapse playback in the edit. The pack also includes intimate tent scenes with the cameraman (me, fully model released) and views of small mountain pools and lakes.

Footage Highlights:

• 97 cinematic 4K UHD drone clips of the cloud inversion over the Glyderau range.

• Features iconic peaks (Tryfan, Snowdon, Crib Goch) rising above a swirling sea of cloud.

• Captures the full day cycle: golden light, fiery dawn, and sunset over the cloud layer.

• Includes clips minutes long for long background use or custom time-lapse creation.

These clips capture the dramatic, time-compressed motion of the cloud inversion from a high-altitude perspective above Y Foel Goch in the Glyderau range. The Ogwen Valley below is transformed into a churning, majestic sea of cloud.

The sequences cover the full spectrum of light—sunrise, dawn, day, and sunset—with the clouds swirling around the great summits: Snowdon, Crib Goch, Y Lliwedd, the Glyderau, Tryfan, and the Carneddau. The footage captures eerie, ethereal drone shots, highlighting the clouds forming interesting shapes and patterns as they pass through the mountains. Watch Tryfan in fast motion, looking like an armadillo poking up from the sea of cloud. This is a rare natural phenomenon that few get to witness, let alone film with high-end drone gear.

Footage Highlights:

This pack is nothing short of magnificent.

This is rare, brilliant Snowdonia timelapse stock footage that few ever witness, let alone film with this level of technical dedication.

The collection is anchored by two exceptionally long sequences that ran for almost 12 hours in raw capture time:

1. Tryfan Nightfall & Comet: This sequence captures the scene from early afternoon as Tryfan is engulfed by cloud, transitions through sunset, and runs into a night sky with rising stars and even includes the faint signature of Comet Lemmon. The cloud inversion forms a thick, turbulent "cloud soup bowl" swirling around the Ogwen Valley below.

2. Carneddau Sunrise & Aurora: The next long timelapse faces out towards the Carneddau range, capturing the majestic sun rising, the cloud inversion swirling, and a night sky moving overhead, with the faintest tint of Northern Lights visible.

Additionally, there are 30 more timelapse sequences showcasing Tryfan, the Glyderau, Glyder Fach, Snowdon, Crib Goch, and Moel Siabod above the phenomenal inversion layer. These are magnificent, rare, and brilliantly sublime fixed-position timelapses.
