sunset/sunrise

This sequence loops continually on a large portrait LED wall. The brief required a sunset/sunrise in the desert with the addition of a green flare on the top edge of the sun. This is a common feature with the sun in the desert. To add some variety, we omitted the green flare on some of the sun sets and added a different night sky several times over the loop.
