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…

Right now I am digging through old footage to see what works and what doesn’t.

Clearly these clips I am collecting are just that… clips. I am starting to wrap my mind around creating something more. Karen seems to have a better handle on this than I do, but I will come around.

Last night the sunset was great. I had an idea to build a movie of it using three different crops of the same source. Originally I was going to get closer and closer, but I think the killer shot was the widest angle so I switched it around. Later, I spent a few minutes on ccMixter where I found some lovely music by Gianmaria Di Flumeri. I mixed it down a little (It was a brutal hack — I hope you can’t hear it. –cringe–) and threw the whole thing into a blender — sunset a la mode.

note: I am the monster in my movie. :)

In Southern California we had a pretty good rain storm on Sept 21^st. I was lucky enough to catch the precursor at sunset. I had a couple of cameras out hoping to maximize the chance for a good exposer. You know, I was really hoping that the sun would peek through the clouds near the end and light them up, but it never materialize. Still, I think you’ll like these.

This one’s pointed towards the sunset and Long Beach.

And this is pointed toward Catalina Island. Part way through a ship starts up and heads for the docks.
