Arizona’s skies are made for time-lapse photography- see samples below. From fiery desert sunsets over the Sonoran landscape to quiet first light breaking across mountain ridges, each sequence captures the color, movement, and atmosphere that make the Southwest so visually memorable.
This collection (see below) features original cinematic time-lapse video clips filmed in Arizona, including desert landscapes, mountain vistas, dramatic cloud formations, saguaro country, and iconic Southwest scenery. Every clip is created by Arizona photographer and videographer Ray Redstone and is available for commercial licensing.

Original Arizona Time-Lapse Video Footage
All clips in this collection are high quality 4k resolution and completely original footage filmed in Arizona. Many scenes feature the distinctive beauty of the Sonoran Desert in the Phoenix and North Scottsdale area, including rugged mountains, desert valleys, cactus landscapes, changing weather, and the vivid color that appears during golden hour and twilight.
Time-lapse footage is especially effective for establishing shots, transitions, website backgrounds, and visual storytelling. The movement of clouds, shifting light, and changing desert color can communicate the passage of time in a way that still photography cannot. Time-lapses in general are great B-roll clips…
