Hey everyone,
I’m in Cleveland, TN and I had this idea I want to try:
I want to film a sunset here at the exact same moment someone else, roughly on the opposite side of the Earth, films a sunrise. Then combine the clips into one split-screen video showing the same sun, same moment, different sides of the world.
Based on location, I’m ideally looking for someone around Yangon or nearby regions (Thailand, eastern India, etc.).
Plan is simple:
– We pick a day with clear weather
– Sync up using UTC time
– Film 5–10 minutes of the horizon (steady shot)
– I’ll edit everything together and share the final video with you
No professional gear needed—just a steady phone camera and a good view of the horizon.
If you’re interested (or know someone in that part of the world), comment!
If this works, I’ll post the final video here and tag you.
Thanks for the upvotes, I randomly started contemplating that someone would be watching the sunset/sunrise from the opposite side of the world and that shared experience would make an amazing video. I started out by trying to find an example of this and I didn’t find a significant version, so I was hoping that me and another person could share an awesome video of a shared experience from thousand miles away!

I'm afraid I'm too far west for that to align, the closest I get is around the summer solstice when the sun rises here about two and a half hours after the sun sets where you are. Even then there's no guarantee the weather'll play ball given that it's not uncommon for it to be cloudy so you might not even be able to see the sun even if you got the times to align.
