It’s night in the southern California desert. Gradually, the sun rises and reveals a fantastic, otherworldly landscape of incredible beauty. As the morning progresses, the desert comes to life. Colorful birds and insects such as the tarantula hawk wasp flit among the flowers of mesquite, palo verde, and other desert trees.

Hi Ray,
This is the best nature video I have seen in a long time! Simply stunning what you show us.The super beautiful slow motion of the insects and the great close-ups ', just wonderful!
With which camera and how many frames per second did you make the slow motions?
When one see the desert, one would never expect such a big variety of animals and flowers! Compliments for the very nice and well commented video, Oh yes, the music also fits perfectly! ?
The six minutes were over way too fast! ? Thanks for sharing this amazing video, I enjoyed it very much ???
cheers Paul

I liked it! Well done.
I noticed @ ~0:36 the is a rock formation in the right third of the screen that looks something like a elephant-sphinx. It's probably just the angle of the shot.

Where did you shoot this. What desert in SoCal? Also, what editing software did you use?

It was shot in a couple areas in the Imperial Valley. I used Final Cut Pro X to edit it.
