Just got back from a nice vacation in Vancouver/British Columbia/Seattle! This was my first vacation since I got CHDK installed on my pocket camera so it was time to experiment with some time lapse photography!
I got quite a lot of footage from various places and since I turned down the jpeg quality to the absolute minimum to get more shots on my 2GB SD card I even had the battery die before the card was full some times. I need to look into making some kind of external battery hack.
Anyway, just finished editing the best sequences in Final Cut Express and uploaded it to Vimeo.
British Columbia 2009 from Jon Rocatis on Vimeo.
The sound is garbled in a couple of places – quite weird. It is not on the source material but it seems that it happens in FCE when it converts from mp3. Must investigate.. Update: I tried converting the mp3 to wav using VLC (QuickTime will do as well) and then using that in FCE. That solved it! Maybe FCE doesn’t like VBR mp3’s or something.
The music is by HiFi Hustlers btw.
