Awesome job...I seen no problems with it being zoomed in to much. Do you mention how many frames per sec you were taking? What software did you use to edit it?
@DJMovit Thanks! I shot this in regular video (30 fps) and then edited in iMovie to speed it up. I can't recall exactly, but I think one of the shots is 60x actual speed, which would translate into a frame every 2 seconds if I'd been shooting stills.
@chrisbarz Thanks! The time lapse here is either 20x or 30x actual speed -- I don't remember which -- so that means the first segment took about 4 to 6 minutes. The sun doesn't stay at the proper angle to maintain the colours for very long. These clips were shot from a high window in my house that has a good view of the horizon. The clouds were near the horizon, and I was zoomed in a lot.
Oh my god! This was the best clouds video I now ever saw! You topped all your videos with that one in my opinion! Please keep up this brilliant work Philip! Thank you so much for your effort. I see alot of people enjoy your work aswell =] Thank you! I love that video.. my favorite part was 0:48 till 0:59! So brilliant.. the effects are so awesome.. I bet this was hard to film ;)
@Nic0las11x12 Hey, thanks! I nearly didn't post this one. I liked the individual clips, but I wasn't sure whether they actually fit together into a cohesive video. It wasn't hard to film. The hardest parts were (a) noticing that something interesting was happening in the sky, and (b) choosing reasonable camera settings for the light conditions.
@seaottersoup ...About the part you liked most: I was mad at myself for not noticing the sky 10 minutes earlier, or I would have had footage of the sun going behind the cloud, and I think that would have been more interesting than the part I captured.
@seaottersoup Its a little lump that begins to form around 0:23 to the far left. Keep watching it until it looks like it sprouts upwards and then it turns into a doggy, which looks like its barking up at the sky, then quickly dissapears. I hope this helps a little. :)
@GoldenFinchFellow I had a magic mushroom trip few years ago in a beautiful place. It was blue sky and every thing as claer as a bell but really really cold! I looked at this tree a bit in distance, and it was making a black silhouette. As I looked sooo many little black birds flew from this tree in a swarm as though they were part of the tree flying off. it was SO wild
@AnnaHeartsTheWorld I think those Blue Rodeo guys must spend a lot of time gazing at the clouds and dreaming up music to match, and I'm happy about that. :)
I only got a minute or two of the sky in the last shot -- not enough for a time lapse -- because I had to get to a class that day. So I wasn't going to use it at all, until I noticed the bit where the birds flew past and decided it would make a good ending.
@seaottersoup ah so the end was normal speed? too fast then for what I was thinking probably. I was going to say maybe they were crows more in the distance then they look. In Ottawa there's like a crow highway that I only ever seem to see on this type of cloudy day, and when its sort of windy. And I only ever seen it at sunset going off to roost uncountable numbers! so I was thinking maybe it was like that. One day I'll get a film of it.. one day!
@GoldenFinchFellow No, they definitely weren't crows. There just aren't that many crows in the place this was shot. Don't think I'd want to live near one of those giant colonies...
@seaottersoup they seem to all have little family communities here and there around the city but then at night they all go together across the entire city. It's funny they actually fallow the highway in areas, I wonder if it's the wind currents... here on my side the river it's more nature and crows are bit more sparse then in Ottawa so at biggest you get maybe as many as this clip and I imagine that's all of the city in one batch to be that big. But these seem too fast to be them.
oh well.. at least we'll have toasted birds to eat
seriously though.. excellent job!
btw .. how much of what i see color-wise is the high quality of your camera, and how much can be attributed to the software? cause i don't say many (if ANY) people able to accurately capture such vivid scenes..
These are the images my camera gave me. I played around a bit with different filters trying to get rid of some of the haziness, and almost used a hard light filter -- the colours were enhanced, but the darker parts looked fake when I watched it full screen. Now that I watch it back, I think I must have left that filter on for the last clip (the one that's not time lapsed), because the orange is brighter than it should have been.
@maniacalmike Fall sunsets here don't generally yield as much colour as summer ones, and the colours don't last as long, so I feel like I got lucky with this video.
Fractal clouds glowing yellow red orange and blue set on fire by spirit sun the shapes i see self-expression subject of my lens' perception show me the symbols I need to carry on... Thanks, as always for providing the key and the magick, Phillip... Hail the mighty sea otter as we enjoy his visual soup =) <3
@grosenberg45 Hey, thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment. Maybe I'll take a course on fractals sometime, but right now, I'm not sure I want to demystify them. :)
Very nice. Trying doing this, failed miserably. Could you go and check my vid out? And tell me what to do? I really enjoy this

@GoldenFinchFellow It might be the cold weather they start to roost together instead of spread out little groups.
GoldenFinchFellow 1 year ago
@GoldenFinchFellow I've heard that Chatham Ontario once had problems with enormous colonies of crows. Don't know if it's still true.
Highways are an excellent source of fresh roadkill. That could attract them.
