City Timelapses: Finding Portland

Andy — Thu, 31 May 2012 16:25:00 +0000

Finding Portland was produced, shot, and edited in 51 days during March and April at the invitation of TEDx Portland, where the video was unveiled to a sell out crowd of 650 and met with a standing ovation. Filmed in Portland and the Columbia Gorge, the time-lapse piece offers a new perspective to the City of Roses. From a Portland Timbers season opening soccer game, to the top of the Fremont Bridge, to an aerial shot of Oneonta Gorge, Finding Portland tells the story of a city and its many faces:

Comprised of 308, 829 photographs taken from over 50 unique locations, it took an average of 3.8 hours to make each second of this film. The intent of the project was to place cameras in unique locations across the city, achieve significant ranges of dynamic camera motion, and pursue cutting edge time-lapse techniques.

Beautifully made….

London Interior Timelapse Sequences

Andy — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:00:00 +0000

Grzegorz Rogala has used a Sigma 8mm fisheye and a Nikon D90 DSLR to capture some stunning timelapse sequences around London, notably within internal spaces rather than the normal external scenes:

London Time-Lapse Video from Grzegorz Rogala on Vimeo.Interior timelapse sequences are always tricky, mainly as tripod use is often prohibited and specific licenses for photography are required. As such, setting up with a DLSR with a fisheye lens can often attract attention. We really like this, especially the Natural History Museum sequence, it also turns out that Grzegorz works down our local pub, but that’s by the by….

MegaCities: A Puccini Timelapse

Andy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:48:00 +0000

The film below is a celebration of some of the world’s great cities edited to Giacomo Puccini’s “Nessen Dorma.” Footage was collected by film maker Craig McCourry during his past year exploring the megacities:

As Craig states – there is a certain freedom of roaming a metropolis in search of imagery, striking up causal conversations with strangers, never really knowing how the day will end. During his travels, Craig would keep a lookout for some of the best coffee shops at each location to rest his tired feet and soak into a newspaper. Along the way, you do capture some magnificent views and a pocketful of memories.
Take a look at http://mccourry.com/ for more info.

The timelapse by Robert Fisher entitled ‘A day in the life of Toronto’ consists of 18 hours of real time compressed to just over 3 minutes.
The movie documents the typical goings on of daily life in Toronto, from the business rush of King & Bay to tourists along the waterfront and at CN Tower to shopping in Chinatown to a human statue street performer to simply waiting for the TTC. The city of Toronto, its people and places are the lead performers:

Dan is one of the best in the business, something we are proud of as we went to college with him while he was starting out taking photographs, for more details on how the movie was shot, head over to dslrnewsshooter.com
