Photography
All terrestrial photography was professionally captured by Hal Bergman and Josh Michaels. The two person team behind Magic Window has been working together for more than seven years to capture the photos for this app. They began filming in 2011 and have continually evolved their capture techniques and technologies since.
History
Hal & Josh put in extraordinary effort to capture and master the images in the app at professional quality. Capturing 24 hour long sequences is extremely difficult and often requires many compromises to get right. Our work is inspired in part by photographer Todd Pickering who pursued this with a film camera for the Mac app 'Sundial' in the mid 1990s.
While our efforts to create these new wallpapers encountered countless challenges over the years, we were constantly reminded that Todd completed a similar effort with a film camera decades before. With the tools and equipment available today we thought it would be easier. We found that even with best tools filming for 24 hours can be both a challenge and an amazing adventure.

Skylight - Our Sun Tool
While filming for 24 Hour Wallpaper we used a range of amazing apps on iPhone and iPad to assist. Over time we ultimately needed to build our own sun tracking app to help us track the sun and remind us to tend to the camera. While we built Skylight as an internal tool, we fell in love with it and ultimately had to make it public. You can get Skylight in the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
Fine Art: 24 Hour Empire
The development of an artistic concept like this often takes interesting twists and turns. For a year this project deviated to create a fine art installation titled '24 Hour Empire' as an homage to Andy Warhol's 'Empire.' We produced a comprehensive exhibition exploring time, culture, and durational video. This was the first art installation ever to use an Apple TV. If you enjoy the app, we encourage you to check out the exhibition.
