I have to say that I am extremely proud of this video. I started recording footage yesterday afternoon around 3 PM and finished recording footage at around 11 PM. I had to empty the memory cards and restart several times, that’s why you see the shifts in the video. There is 6 hours and 46 minutes (approximately) of footage in this one 30 second video. There is another 12 hours of editing. I actually recorded for over 8 hours but like I said, I had to empty the memory cards, format them and restart several times.

I really like the shifts in this. They almost make it look as though I was zooming in on the flower.

I had a hard time with the lighting in this one. I placed the flower on a plain piece of paper and put a standard incandescent light over it. I took the Gorillapod and positioned my camera over it with a macro lens attached. I also left the overhead (incandescent, also) light on. I may have had too much light. I used spot metering and center focus.

The music in this video is "Natchoongi (Breaked DUB RMX)" by Antony Raijekov
