- RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+77People who liked this movie should look at this one shot in LA. It was made with a DSLR too. I think you will find that the editing and photography are a lot more compelling:
http://599productions.com/TimelapseLarge.html - karuberutsu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+75Dugg for linking to actual video, not a blog.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22i thought it was really good.
his server is not going to like it though. - kwojniak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22It's The Outer Banks by The Album Leaf. On iTunes.
- rgodfrey, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21It's not the coolest movie ever but it's pretty neat. Is there a page where he talks about his technique?
- sonicspike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13People who like time lapse photography set to music should watch the 80s film Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of balance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyaanisqatsi

Wow, LA almost looks... appealing in that video. Not the gravitational abyss that so many music writers have lamented about in songs for so many years. - argonaut99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Both 599 and this video are very amazing, great job, and bonus points for being decent quality video and not a crappy youtube link. Extra bonus for letting me save the quicktime source after watching! Video like this deserves high quality.
- tduser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Wow, my friend Ross who is a film major at San Diego State is the one who made this video, and another friend of mine submitted it to digg. But he spent a few weekends out of a month working on it. It was all shot in the San Diego area.
For all of you who are wondering, he used a Canon Rebel XT with a timer remote (TC-80N3). And then using quicktime pro and automator, he was able to take each frame, resize it to 1920x1080 using automator, create an image sequence out of the 250+ photos, and take it into Final Cut Pro for editing. Some really cool work...the heroda.com site he just used as a file server...the site itself hasn't been updated for over 2 years since he was in high school.
Oh yeah, and the music is by "The Album Leaf" and the song is "The Outer Banks" - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Yeah, but it would have been nice to link to whatever page this guy is hosting the video at. It doesn't have to be always have to be a spam blog.
Instead, all we're doing is leeching his bandwidth, and he won't even know until it's too late. - phool, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9What the helll is the flying object in that movie that moves across the screen and then back?

It zips all around th skyline, I know it is timelapse but just wondering what it could be: - mustache, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8It's a flying saucer. DUH!
- seanherman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The song is called "The Outer Banks" from The Album Leaf off their incredible In a Safe Place Album. Check it out, they're an excellent band.

That album is definitely their best, but the Seal Beach EP was quite good as well. Haven't heard their latest though, if it's even out yet. - bhaugh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@soogy
If you really want to see who made the movie, all you have to do is go to the root page of the website. Not difficult. - Florian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The San Diego airport is about a half mile to the left of the frame so i'd guess it's an airplane.
- doubledoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Amazon:

No idea which song/album though. - warder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Check you have the latest Quicktime installed (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download)
- jiminoc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6yea that was pretty sweet, thanks for the link. This was the first time all week I've seen something on digg where I didn't want to punch the person who submitted it.
- Etheo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7It looks like there's an UFO in the segment with the city view.
I love time-lapse. This one wins all :D good music, good images, good arrangement.... I'm happy as can be. - laserob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Baraka anyone?
- davidod87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And if you liked the LA one posted above, you might like the 480p version (720P is not available at the moment it seems): http://599productions.com/599/HD%20Media.html
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6original music?
- herculez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Apple also has some beautiful timelapse video in its HD Quicktime gallery:

They do very good work. - thatgirlismine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Heh, you beat me to the punch. Seriously, Koyaanisqatsi has some great moments. Putting a camera on a twinkie assembly line, crowded escalators, people playing robotron and pacman in the arcades... Great stuff.
Here are some clips:

- andreascliment, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You should check out this short film by Patryk Rebisz. It's shot with a Canon 20D and made out of over 2000 still photos.
http://patrykrebisz.com/stills/FINAL_movie.html - herculez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You should check out the film Baraka. It's composed entirely of stunning visuals and time-lapse from around the world. I was lucky enough to see it in 70mm, but it should be available through netflix.

The 480p version uses music from the, "Gattaca" soundtrack. I prefer the, "Road to Perdition" version. - EnderWalcott, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Digg for The Album Leaf. I just bought their CD "In A Safe Place" (the song is on that album) about two weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I first heard The Album Leaf on Echoes, a radio program on public radio, http://www.echoes.org Highly recommended (both The Album Leaf and Echoes). They just released a new CD too, if I recall correctly. Good stuff.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This was very cool, especially the scenes with stars.
- EvilPenguin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's already been done.
The film Corpse Bride was shot entirely using Digital SLRs
"This is the first feature to be made with commercial digital still photography cameras (31 Canon EOS-1Ds MARK II SLR cameras with Nikon Lenses) instead of film cameras." - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121164/trivia
The 1Ds Mark II is rated at around 200,000 shutter Cycles. - rjghwruigvyoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3hey can do you do something like this with a simple compact camera? like a sd600 or something?
- Avogadro65, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I've heard it before on Groove Salad on SomaFM, but can't remember who it is.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6@Radiant
The LA one was cool aside from the ridiculous url right down the middle. Why would any "artist" ruin something that cool for publicity? - t0ny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ya just put the camera on a tripod and hit the shutter ever few seconds.
Then in Linux to make the video cd to the dir with your photos and do "convert *.jpg timelapse.mpg".
I'm going to buy an ir remote and make a timer for my dslr camera and do this. I cant keep the camera that still when I hit the shutter button.
I was going to do this with my old point and shoot camera but I forgot the flash was hooked up to the capasitor. My screw driver hit the flash and boom. It hurt like hell :). Blown a chunk of metal out of my screw driver. The camera is now fried. :( - Elektriq, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What's the song?
- cheese06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2if you want to know the song from the 599 productions link its from the "Road to Perdition" soundtrack. forgot which song exactly though.
http://599productions.com/TimelapseLarge.html - swazo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Love the Album Leaf
everyone should buy their album in a safe place. - geeko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This seems like a really innovative and inexpensive way to shoot an HD movie. Digital still cameras can take images well over HD resolution, so it makes sense!
Awesome. - RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@dclowd9901, I had the same reaction. That guy made LA look good--and totally different from how I've ever seen it on TV or film. Of course the only LA I know comes from 1940s detective novels.
@brecasx, He probably doesn't want people ripping off scenes. I think it still works as publicity though since you can clearly see that it's very good stuff.
@cpbrown, I like the cool elegance of the 559productions one, but as you say, it's a matter of opinion. - Florian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The desert scenes are in the Anza-Borrego desert of southern Calif. In fact, one of the sunrise scenes is actually a sunset played backwards. Nice movie!
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No joke. That movie kicks ass. I love the music, too (Philip Glass) -- it's perfect for the movie. Especially when they're squirting the strawberry jam into the pastries and it's in sync with the choir. Pure genius.
- Munkey106, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice find!
- aboyd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4"That movie is probably better edited, but much less soulful in my humble opinion"
I agree, cpbrown. The 599 Productions film has a few things missing/wrong. First, their logo is a blemish. It's not that their logo is bad, it's just that it shouldn't be there. Second, their scene of the night sky -- while beautiful, especially with that branchy tree -- conveys none of the motion, none of the "we're a spinning rock in a huge universe" feeling. The other movie nailed that. Third, while the 599 Productions film had shots of planes landing, it was just planes landing. The other film had that scene of the night sky with the plane flying past, and it looked a bit like a firefly zipping through the air. I guess if I had to put a finger on it, I'd say that the 599 Productions film felt like it was about a place in California, while the "coolest movie ever" felt like it was about our place in the universe. - Lizlovesadam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1beautiful
