A few months ago I posted a cool little video that showed some really cool timelapse photography by a really cool guy named Dan Eckert. I thought maybe people would thing I was really cool too if I could make a really cool video like Dan Eckert. It would make me even cooler if I talked a little bit about how I made this video rather that just show it. This way if anyone else wants to be cool like I have officially just become, feel free to shamelessly mimic me shamelessly mimicking someone else. Here is the video, be sure to make it full-screen.



You like that stuff right there? I hope so. Leave a comment if you did. If you didn’t like it, uhh, just quietly grumble and move along, thank you.

If you’d like to find out exactly how to make this kind of video there is a great tutorial over on AdoramaTV by my buddy Mark Wallace . If you are only mildly curious how this was made, it is pretty simple. You take a bunch of photos of the same thing over a long period of time, then you play them all back really fast.

Sometimes I just have to post something completely unrelated but because it is so full of awesomeness it simply has to be shared. I envy the patience and effort that this chap puts into not only shooting thousands of gorgeously delicious still images but editing and composing all that into these videos. Wow, just wow.

You’re gonna want to hit the little fullscreen button for this one.

Oh yeah, and let it buffer first if you are on a slow connection for best results. Enjoy!

The photographer is Dan Eckert and I think he’s cool. You can check out more of his videos over on Vimeo. I recommend it.

… just thought you’d like to know that. You know, in case you were wondering you could just look at these pictures and see how cool sleeping babies really are.             

My Dad, took this series of pictures the other day from the top of a hill in a lightning storm, dedication eh. Anyway, I thought this was too cool not to share. My Mom, laid down some Garage Band goodness and they came up with this video. Quite nice stuff if you ask me.
