The photographer successfully posted and captured the gigantium plasma tornado but also regretted that the video was shot in a challenging conditions as it was shot when the sky was cloudy, which brought some glitches to the video.  

Andrew McCarthy increased the speed of the video so that people could see the 3 hours of plasma movement in a few moments. "No, this is 3 hours of movement played back over just a few seconds," McCarthy replied to a Twitter user when questioned about the speed of the clip.
