Time-lapse Project

one comment

Day In, Day Out is a project of mine to capture a typical day in Downtown Sacramento through time lapse. It will likely take me a long time to get the whole thing done, I’ve estimated it will take a little less than 50,000 shots to complete the entire length of the video. Anyway, last night I started sketching out some of the shots to get the timing and ideas “on paper”, and went a little bit overboard so I wanted to share:

Its a very short clip, in case you can’t tell (which is very likely, Adeline could have drawn better sketches than I did) the first shot would be a time lapse of the sun rising over the capitol, a shot which I hope to be able to capture from the Penthouse balcony of my building and the second shot is looking down at the corner just in front of my building (from roughly the same location) at 7th street, and the Light Rail station as people board the trains.

Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for some cool time-lapse of downtown sacramento. If your interested in helping with this project too, let me know it might be fun to have a couple people doing time-lapse and join it all together into one continuous movie.

    I wish Walt D. was still alive he would have found the internet, computers and HD cameras so interesting. Oh! with K-lite and some other stuff (a $15 gismo for VideoSpin) those Canon movies are playing in Picasa and other programs. I’m looking at buying ($15) CoreAVC (H.264 video codec is based on the MPEG-4 Part 10 standard) but have not got their email giving me access to a trial version. At this point my $159 credit card camera that took Burning Man photos might be just fine for my purposes.
