A summer storm

This is my longest and likely the best movie I have made. I’ve made a few changes to my hardware that allow me to create substantially longer movies. This one was 4000 plus frames shot over about six hours. It’s about three minutes long at 25 frames a second.

We were staying at Mountain Shadows Getaway in Portal AZ. This movie was shot in the car port at the guest house. There were amazing thunderstorms the entire time we were there. We were so busy I only set the camera up once, but I couldn’t be happier with the result.

It seems a little silly to write several posts when I’m building several movies from the same source. So… I’ll be adding new ones to this post over the next few days,

This one is a zoom to the lower left-hand corner. Nice but not especially better. I’m working on a painted movie that I think will be lovely.

I confess I’m a little in love with these movies with an oil paint filter applied to each frame.

The last two from Seattle

Well, it’s been exciting here lately. With Cory from boingboing.net giving us a plug. All and all, it was very nice. The only negative was the guy who said a monkey could have done what I did and that it wasn’t worthy of boingboing. The next day boingboing featured a movie someone made from a batch of cupcakes that turned out inedible; they danced. I can only assume that was boingboing worthy. -ouch!

Here are the last two movies from Seattle. It’s the same movie, one with the paint effect and one without. What do you prefer?

Seattle skyline

So I’ve been doing these out of order. Before our trip to Victoria, we were in Seattle for a conference. This was shot out the window of our hotel. It’s pretty heavily cropped because there were reflections in the window. Still, it’s not bad.

Are we tired of Victoria yet?

Hell no!

This is nicer than I originally thought. Lots of stuff going on. The way everything changes when the clouds get dark is cool too.

I added this one based on Christopher’s comment. I didn’t realize there were cars back there.

Into the night

I don’t think this is the greatest example of time-lapse movie making, but I think watching day change to night this quick is still cool. Victoria, yet again…

Victoria part 2

This is pretty much the same view, but a different time. The harbor is fairly active.
