Badlands 4K I
Our first crack at the Badlands, shot in May before the heat and the crowds roll in. The spires at first light do something to you. Heads up, every frame here was earned on foot or from a moving car, no drones in the park.
BADLANDS 8K is the culmination of several weeks spent filming in the rugged Badlands of South Dakota. Situated in the heart of the Northern Great Plains, Badlands National Park spans 244,000 acres of spectacular landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. Journey with More Than Just Parks to discover the land where bison still roam and towers rise from the prairie in dazzling formations. This is the Badlands. Filmed in UHD 8K.
We chose to film Badlands National Park in May to capture the park in an off season before temperatures and crowd sizes rise. The Badlands features a surprising amount of wildlife including bison, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, coyotes, prairie dogs, western meadowlarks, burrowing owls, and more.

**The shot at 2:47 did not incorporate the use of a drone as we abide by and concur with the NPS “No-Drone” policy. Drones should not be used in the parks and will never be used in the parks for this project. This shot was taken from a moving car using a stabilizer rig.
