Astounding!
Some of those landscapes are brilliant and would make great stills in their own right.
Thanks for the post, H

Hi H,

Thanks for the link H. Loved it.

[dugnsuz]

Not too shabby!

[ballaratdragons]

I can't get it to run properly. It jerks the whole way through! :mad2:

So I allowed it to fully load and it did the same. :sadeyes:

I tried his Couch edition and it still did the same so I gave up.
I'll take everyone's word for it that it's pretty good :lol:

[mishku]

A fantastic timelapse with awesome scenery.

[strongmanmike]

Quite nice I guess.. but if I am honest I actually found it a little boring and mellodromatic even a tad cliche'ish :shrug:

Seen much more exciting meaningful pieces :shrug:

Umm.......Wow...... made my eyes water

Hi H,

Don't do that. :lol:

It's a extraordinary piece of film!

Though it is not all time lapse, have you ever had the chance to see Koyaanisqatsi?
It is also a wonderful film. Shot in 1985 by Ron Fricke and directed by Godfrey
Reggio, some of the early scenes in it include places such as the Goosenecks
which Dustin Farrell also featured in his marvelous video. (You might recollect
Andrew and I shot some photographs at the Goosenecks a few years back
so seeing it always brings back that thrill of looking down into them for the first time.)

Koyaanisqatsi has an extraordinary original soundtrack by Philip Glass and
if you ever get the opportunity to see the film being projected on a big screen
whilst Philip Glass and the Philip Glass Ensemble play the music live, it is
a moving experience. I've had the opportunity to attend two performances at the
Opera House over the years when Philip Glass has come out here and should
the opportunity ever arise again, wouldn't hesitate to attend again. I wholeheartedly
recommend it.

Ron Fricke shot and directed Chronos (1985), which is almost entirely time lapse
and Baraka (1992), which included those wonderful tracking time laps shots in the
Arches National Park. I only wish they could have also had Philip Glass scores
as both films would have been transformed to another level. But there is
no denying the wonderful cinematography and for example check out the
beautiful sequence of light rays Fricke captures in Chronos from 1:26 to to 02:22 in
this segment here -

This was shot on film in 65mm for IMAX and all the more remarkable when you
consider it was done 26 years ago.

Thanks again for the great link.

Hi Gary,

Yes, I've seen Koyaanisqatsi. :)

As well as Baraka.

I'll have to look out for Chronos, though.

Cheers!

bahahahahahahaha *flinches*

Apparently Fricke has a new film entitled Samsara that premiered at the Toronto
International Film Festival last month but is yet to be released and there appears
to be no trailer available at this time. Also shot in 70mm.

He certainly has an extraordinary photographic eye.

What a labour of love. Thanks for posting that, H.

[AG Hybrid]

What a truly astonishing video. Ive had to watch it several times just to comprehend all the scenes. The music choice and editing was spectacular as well.

[Jen]

:eyepop: that is very cool :thumbsup::thumbsup: where is that taken :question:

[Paul Haese]

Looks cool, but I would have preferred one place and several nights and days as a film. Showing all the scenery surrounding the camera. Now that would be epic.

[Octane]

Non-astro, but, stunning, nonetheless: http://vimeo.com/25171553

2:20-2:27. :eyepop:

Stop posting these links. There's nothing wrong with my 1.8 GHz Athlon CPU or my 64 MB AGP video card. There is no reason to upgrade.

[Octane]

What's up, BPO?

[gary]

Thanks H,

Another great video showcasing some fabulous talent!

Plus nice choice of Michael Nyman's piece "Time Lapse" written for Peter Greenaway's
"A Zed & Two Noughts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIL3xu_omFc)".
One of my favourite pieces.

Like Philip Glass, Michael Nyman and the Michael Nyman Band performing at the
Sydney Opera House is an extraordinary thing to experience.

It's at times miraculous how the right choice of music can transform a movie scene.

A dream would be to have the budget to afford to pay either Philip Glass or
Michael Nyman to write the score for your own movie. :)

Thanks again for the great link.

[BPO]

What's up? Whenever I try to view any of these timelapse videos, smoke pours from my computer, and a tiny high-pitched voice shrieks "Help me! Help me!"...

[Octane]

lol! Sorry!

[FlashDrive]

That would be the little " ferret " running around inside your " single core " CPU, yelling instructions to the other " ferret " sitting idle in the GPU. :rofl:

Flash :D

[BPO]

But it ran Quake II really well! :shrug:
