Local
videographer captures the visual wonders of Grand Teton
Jackson,
Wyoming – March 6, 2012 –
Grand Teton National Park Foundation is pleased to announce the release of a
new video featuring some of the year’s most spectacular footage of natural
phenomena in Grand Teton National Park. Day and Night in
Grand Teton is the first of four videos in a new series, From Valley to
Peak. The films were recently completed by Jackson-based videographers
Jesse Ryan and Ryan Christopher of New Thought Media on behalf of Grand Teton
National Park Foundation and Grand Teton Association.
The
project was commissioned in an effort to highlight the natural wonders of Grand
Teton through a medium that is both contemporary and accessible. The four
minute videos showcase a selection of striking natural occurrences through
artfully captured landscapes, time-lapses and insightful narration. To
view Day and Night in Grand Teton, visit www.gtnpf.org. The three additional
videos will be released on a monthly basis in April, May and June and can be
viewed on our website.
“Our
effort to connect people to the park and to educate them about this amazing
resource remains one of the most important components of our mission at the
Foundation,” says Foundation president Leslie Mattson. “Projects like
this are a great way to spread the wonders of Grand Teton to national park
lovers far and wide.”
The
video series is one of the most recent Foundation-funded projects and echoes
the organization’s overall mission to fund initiatives that go beyond what the
National Park Service could accomplish on its own. Since 1997, the
organization has raised more than $20 million for education-based capital
projects, work-and-learn programs that reconnect youth to nature, and wildlife
research and protection.
