I’m posting this entry to the past because like I said below I wasn’t sure I was going to post this on the blog or not. I posted it to Flickr which is where the text below came from. HOPEFULLY, SOON, I’ll do something more diverse than pointing the camera out my window and recording!

I recorded this on 4/22/08. I wasn’t sure if I was going to post it or not but decided to post it tonight. I used my Logitech ClickSmart 510 digital camera/webcam to record the video onto the hard drive. The colors aren’t the best because the camera sucks. I recorded for over an hour while I washed the dishes and cooked supper.

Music is "Photo theme: Window like" by Antony Raijekov

I purchased an AC adapter for my camera and it arrived yesterday. I have been wanting to create some really fun and interesting time lapse videos but I knew my batteries wouldn’t hold out long enough.

This video is of my bedroom curtains. One of my favorite things in my bedroom. I love how the light shines through them each morning and changes as the sun rises. I may try to record from the time I wake up until noon sometime to give a full effect.

The music in this video is suitable because this will truly be one of the things I miss when I move away from home.

The music is "Goodbye Sooner or Later" by oldDog.

Technical: I recorded video footage for 46 minutes (the maximum I can record on a 1GB memory stick). I imported the video into Sony Vegas Movie Studio (Platinum Edition). I speed the footage up as fast as I could, rendered it out in an uncompressed format. Pulled it back in and speed it up even more, rendered it back out. Pulled it back in, added saturation and luminance, music and exported. The reason I had to render it out twice was because Sony Vegas has a speed limit, I guess is a good way to put it!

This video is from March 18, 2008. I went up in the field and was taking some photos of the sunset. I finished taking the photos and took some video of the sun quickly going down. No, I didn’t get naked in this video, I just took my over shirt off! I got my copy of Sony Vegas the other day and I decided to take this video and enhance it and post it here. I also posted it to Flickr.
