Minneapolis Time Lapse Drive

[timokross]

Dreamhaven and Phoenix Games right across the street from each other. The way it was meant to be. Miss those days.

[HoltCalifornia]

Woah this is old

[bymacorg17]

time-lapse rulez!! Do you know you can make time-lpase movies with any camera with this device: (copy address to browser): tempusALL.bymac.org

Works with ANY camera! ckeck it out :P

[hsseriesauthor]

Funky music. :) I'd love to go there sometime.

[axispedal]

fuck yeah 612

[lancestar2]

I avoided driving on lakestreet for such a long time! is the construction over yet lol idk i just got used to not going that way not that i need to much often anymore...

[hove18]

speeding is dangerous ... XD

[flyingbob5]

Hey man why don't you come visit Forest Lake! Probobaly not a good idea now because the city is putting in round a bouts.

[DanDFriend]

I wish all red lights were this quick! Anyways great vid man. Love timelapse drives.

[OnThatPowder]

another tight vid,man

[eluko79]

This old thing? Thanks Powder!

[OnThatPowder]

this old thing?!?!?  It's a GREAT vid of an even GREATER city!!!!!!!!!! I dont live in the twin cities anymore so this is great nostalgia.....awesome vid man......2000 stars playa

[kdwbi]

Americans of all races, we can no longer be divided by our skin color. This is our country we must protect it! We must advance it! We can no longer spend money at places like Wal-Mart that send thousands of dollars to foreign countries. Of course you may say its Cheaper, but is it really? Next time you by something at Wal-Mart think about all those American jobs that are lost buy your dollar going overseas!

[lvll138inrs]

how come most americans are white?

[Paul91384]

How come?

[ghaslerud]

love the vid! you passed my house and college..weird. good song too

[ColossalRofl]

You drive wayyy too fast

[trevorrussellenko]

As gray, dreary and depressing as I remember it. Especially Lake Street, if any bridge would collapse I would have expected that one. So many hours stuck, commuting in traffic and waiting for those infernal lights to change.

[ikkyo3]

i think you passed my house lol

how do u like my home town?

[DeanHatton]

Very cool!

Glad to find someone else who is into this.

I have a time lapse of a trip from Columbus, Ohio to Mt. Vernon, Ohio.

It was shot using a Super 8 film camera, firing a frame every second.

Once i get it transfered to digital i'll post it on YouTube.

You've inspired me to do more!

Thanks for posting!

[Pj311foo]

How does one shoot a time lapse video? IM interested in doing this. Also, Im in St Paul :)

[ahrecondite]

you will like my time lapse 14 hour drive in under 10 minutes.

[PhoenyxBoy]

nice vid

btw does any one knows where to get the background music???

[Gettenjim]

What, no interstate bridge collapsing?

[CH3MIS7RY]

fucking troll...please die.

[Gutsyndicate]

how do you record it? do you getta camera on the wind shield?

[eluko79]

Tape it to the dash or mirror. whatever works best.

[GlobalWirelessPhones]

Thanks a lot!

I'll let you know how it turns out!

Have a Great Day!

Chuck

[GlobalWirelessPhones]

Great Video - I just saw a similar one for Ottawa, Canada which was a response to yours. I was wondering what program did you use to speed up the video and also what kind of camera mount did you use in the car?

[eluko79]

Thanks. I remember that video. It was one of the first timelapse drives on youtube.

For the video I use windows movie maker and add the double speed effect a few times. At the time I taped the camera to my dash but now I just tape it to the mirror. What ever works best for your car really.

[Softify]

Just got back from Minneapolis, fantastic city. Valleyfair was great and i also got myself a little tour up in the IDS Tower.

[hevnervals]

How many live there?

[eluko79]

City= 380,000

Metro= 3,000,000

[ghaslerud]

this is a pretty tight video! i live like two blocks off lake street so its weird seeing this. good song to go with it too. its very synchronized

[Softify]

Going to Minneapolis this summer, flying over from Norway. i am looking so forward to coming to the "Twin Cities"

[contractki11er]

Hope you have fun ;D

[jellybeanfreek44]

all i gotta say is theres nothing better than a minneapolis summer. you betcha!

[ILOVEDOOWOPMUSIC]

Minneapolis is the greatest city on Earth!

[MRAJKHAN]

exactly....but maybe***

[Dejanthedj]

heheeee minneapolis :P love

[telephonhog]

Thanks for this video. I am researching my family members who lwft ireland to lived in university ave back in 1902. Their name was Lennon from Armagh in Ireland. I am so pleased to see where they lived. I hope to visit someday soon. This video has made me feel closer to them. many thanks. Sarah in the UK

[Globalflavor]

I tried to go there once but I couldn't find it.

[hugosinache]

yeeaaaa!!!! i love minneapolis im from mexico but minneapolis is a such a nice pleace to live love it!! also the people are so nice as hell, im coming soon, so im so exciting, minneapolis MN rifa. the best

[soxt3llxm3]

this summer, i probably come to minneapolis, but i don't know how it's the life in this city, i'm french and i really want to find an us city where i can have fun , is minneapolis good for that? thanks

[mendezhec]

man i miss the twins in mexico city right know but I´ll be back soon

[Neiliard86]

I love Minneapolis, have some relatives that live in the area

downtown is nice, Minnehaha Park, St. Anthony Falls area is nice

the city has a Montreal meets Helsinki feel (architechture especially)

[nitro3331]

I love Minneapolis. 17th biggest metro in the U.S. Biggest mall. 5th Biggest Airport in the U.S. Lots of stuff to do. Second biggest University may i add lol.

[fatcatbuzz]

I thought it was the 16th biggest metro? I don't know, I found it kind of boring at times, but maybe it's because I'm from there. I like going back when I can, though. Actually, you don't appreciate a place until you move for a couple of years because when I left I was like "finally." But, I'm moving back next summer and will asy the same thing when I move back.

[unclelotus37]

Also one of the top 10 least stressful cities i wanna move to Minneapolis. :)

[takion76]

How did you hang the camera from the windshield? Or how did you attach it, paste it, stick it? I tried with my Sony Cyber Shot W55, but couldn't do it.

BTW, great video!

[eluko79]

For this I just taped it to the dash but now I tape 2 wooden sticks to a camera and then I tilt the mirror vertical and tape it to it.

[takion76]

Thanks a lot! BTW, watch my time lapse video of my city, Buenos Aires, Argentina. I just uploaded it.

[mazdaman1982]

bro sweet vid i havent been to the twin citys in a couple years, man i miss it there

[Turbo852]

Very nice video! I love Minneapolis! Unfortunately, I haven't ever lived in any other metropolitan areas, so I can't really compare it to anywhere. I've visited other cities, just not for anything longer than 2 weeks.

[eluko79]

I know what you mean. People ask me all the time whats it like living here and I really dont know what to say.

[fatcatbuzz]

Tell them it is cold in the winter. HEHEHE I miss it there in the summer compared to Las Vegas where I live now.

[IlaughedIcried]

I live just around the corner from 2:47. Unlike some commenters, I am not quite so enamored with this city. I'd happily trade places with anyone living in NYC, for example...anyone...anyone...Be­uller...Beuller....

[fatcatbuzz]

It good to leave for a while. I've lived all over the country and haven't lived in Minneapolis for 8 years. I think I'm ready to move back, but give me a moment and I'll probably move again. I really don't miss the cold there. New York is kind of fun, but gets really old. The western states like Colorado and northern California is where it's at. Not L.A. though. "You betcha don't you know."

[southtexan11]

Man, it's been like 6 months now and I STILL have not found that song "Tune" by ATB. I have check online EVERYWHERE. Any chance you know where to get it? I don't think Sam Goody is around anymore. Interested in selling your CD? haha

[sparklepopsee]

at 3:31 is my place on the left the one with the over hang ha ha ha

[Straight2Video]

i go to college at the building on the right at 3:17 whoo

[trashers4cashers]

who would actually wanna rank underrated cities

[Grapes428]

This city is the most underrated city in the US. MSNBC ranked it 6th most underrated in 2007. I think this city is a hidden secret and the weather that people stereotype about is not much different than Chicago through the seasons. I have been to 10 major metropolitan cities and this is the best city to enjoy yourself through all 4 seasons. People could not have been more friendly to me and everything is so conveniently located. Dang it I want to live here.

[floopsoup]

ay dude shhhhhhhhhhhh i dont want more people up here

[AlvinHDavernport]

You will eventually need more people to maintain the economy healthy, won't you?

[datsems]

i shall study in Minneapolis this year. Nice too see some videos, and hear that you love the place.

[redfan45x]

yea its awesome their, although i cant show my face around the outer area on a certain street or ill get shot or robed worse thenmy last time lol...

[ClearJack]

I heart Minneapolis

[cubbs357]

Mall of America,VIKINGS,TWINS,TIMBERWO­LVES,WILD.

[Flamingopink86]

Don't forget about Valleyfair!

[warpedtourgurl]

valleyfair isnt in minneapolis. were talking about minneapolis, not minnesota in general.

[xerxesdude]

I live in Minneapolis, and i freaking love it. the view for my downtown condo is incredible

[Flamingopink86]

Minneapolis is my favorite place in the world! I love it

[EllaFits]

i love minneapolis so goddamn much

[vanitycult]

i can't tell you how many times i've done this drive... too fuckin many, that's for sure! listening to better music though, haha

[Flamingopink86]

I love driving down these roads!

[Yomomma1365283]

I fucking LOVE Minneapolis... I've lived there almost all my life, and I've lived all over the western suburbs: Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, New Hope, Crystal, Hopkins, Saint Louis Park... it's so fun to cruise through downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul at night. Love the skyline. I just moved from Minneapolis to Peoria, IL. Watching this video made me cry. I can't recall how many times I've gone down Lake Street or through downtown.... BEST CITY EVER! I MISS YOU MINNESOTA!!!

[southtexan11]

sweet music! what is this track called?

[eluko79]

"tune" by ATB (1999)

[southtexan11]

I cant seem that song anywhere? could it possibly be under a different title? thanks!

[eluko79]

Its the second song on disc 2 of "Trance All Stars - Worldwide[ultra]". I bought it back in 99 or 2000 at the sam goody in Burnsville Center.

[cougarkitten42]

it's on itunes... only a dollar...

[TJOPootertoot]

Is this timelapse, or just sped-up? If actually timelapse, what was the camera you used? I have a Sony, but it only does like "2 seconds every 30 seconds," when 1 frame every second would be useful. Since this a tape-based cam, that would be probably be hell on it.

[eluko79]

I just sped it up in the movie maker. I used an HP M425 but my flip video cam would have looked a lot nicer.

[GaryMartinII]

This is a great video, I remember the days when I could drive around Mpls like that before gas was $3.65 a gallon, but all in all it's a damn great vid.

[mrcool1122]

I hope you were a bus or taxi, all of driving in that bus and taxi lane in the downtown on 2nd Avenue.

[eluko79]

LOL!!!

[HarleyGrl722]

Welcome to my commute

[twincities34]

REPRESENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Colee45]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Great post. I love home. :)

[swanny008]

I like the execution of the movie, but it stresses me out. It reminds why I shortened my commute to two miles. Traffic sucks, even in a movie.

[SLAMMED87GT]

Dude very cool flick, the TC is an awesome area and I love going there every weekend. People need to realize and (live) the area to really get the feel.

[jb55236]

a very ugly city. i thought it was cold there. where is the snow?? north carolina>minnesota. what a weak ass city and state. no wonder everyone up north is moving here.

[timlovesraffi]

you're dumb. note: added april 9th, therefore, snow melted, trees not having leaves yet. this video doesn't show the city scape of minneapolis or st paul, which are awesome metro areas, nor does it show the river. the mississippi that is (it's one of the longer rivers in the country). and by the by, everyone i've met from north carolina has been a racist piece of shit. not saying everyone down south is, but it sure as shit doesn't bode well for y'all.

[cmj2k6]

Well I'm glad you think that, just as long as thats enough to keep your ass from ever coming here.

Minneapolis is a beautiful city and Minnesota is a beautiful state. We all know that here.

[WW3]

Opinion. Doesn't mean shit to those of us who adore this state. And you're southern...well, I won't finish that sentence.

[twincities34]

Actually, a lot of folk from north carolina comin to minnesota

[mpls1189]

You can't talk shit about any state. YOU'RE FROM THE SOUTH!!! Please spread your opinion about Minnesota to all of your friends. They won't come here and it will be much more quiet. Just the way I like it, no tourists bothering me.

[richsuite]

you can see my DUI lawyer's office on south sixth street Hennepin Ave. 45th flooor Multifoods Tower... Mitchell A. Robinson Attorney at law, Best DUI lawyer in Minnepolis...

[haribcapra]

The building my grandma had her first job in is here, my mom lives near lake street, my first job is shown, the store I hung out at as a kid, my moms old work, my elementary, the dance studio I take classes at is a half a block away at one point, my apartment is a block away, most of my classes at the U are right on University, I ate lunch in a building shown here just today. I love this. Thank you.

[dathribab]

00:48 is one block from my high school, and 02:53 is less that a half mile from my house, so I drive almost this exact same route every day!!!

[mccgirl123]

yea i am always driving around were you went

:)

[BasementPrimeStudios]

oh man the music goes so well with the stopping and starting. and fine, i showed my own time lapse. not as big-city as this one though lol

[skaterrockerxD]

i went to minnepolis but never seen this before o.O

[YouAreTryingTooHard]

Lol, I would have done this vid almost the same way. Except I would have ended it in NE. Nice.

[YouAreTryingTooHard]

The city looks really stale and dead here. I think this would have turned out a lot better if if were done in either the winter or summer.

[mplssurfer]

I loved it, I have been wanting to do the same thing around town. This was a good route. I look forward to seeing more. Good Job.

[54spiritedwill54]

that was awesome, this is such a great idea!

[seese54367]

too bad they didn't do it in the summer or spring...would have been prettier.

[dasmikey1964]

I've only been to MPLS a few times, but this video reminds me of those times driving around that city. Really beautiful place, would like to live there someday...

[dathribab]

I live there and its pretty sweet!

[BuickEnclave]

Anyone know what song is featured in this awesome vid?

[eluko79]

Thanks for the comment. Its called "tune" by ATB.

[ManK33T]

Minneaplois, what a random city

[minnesnowta11]

i got lost around 3 ave a couple moths ago

then i was offered drugs

haha

good city

but if you are like 15 and with a friend dont go wondering around like me k

hah yeahhhh

[JuicyDulce]

this video made me dizzy and tired like i was actually on a road trip

[Kartracer6]

Wow I love how light traffic is here. Chicago is horrible wish it was more like this

[snotpokkit]

OOoooohhhh!!! I live in uptown! I have never really run into other YouTubers from MN, although I must admit I haven't looked very hard. I will come back to see more of your videos soon, and maybe to find some other MN YouTubers :)

(P.S. I think they should do an event in Minneapolis - what do you think?)

[eluko79]

That'd be great. Only if spricket24 shows up. Although they might want to wait till June or something.

[Dreskidre]

Excellent!! Cool idea, I live here and I love it :-)

[GrimsonFlame]

1 of the best cities in the world

[phil414]

this video makes me happy love the music i moved to milwaukee when i was like 7 and ive been fucked over here alot and im thinkin of moving back to Minneapolis to feel at home. THANKS

[Zebraguy626]

Minneapolis is a wonderful city despite the extreme weather. The city itself isn't too large and there are many neibrhoods in Minneapolis proper that have both an urban and a suburban feel...especially around Lake Harriet. I use to live in Minneapolis..I still have family who lives there. great clean city with friendly people.

[5dat5native5]

wooohooo!!!! minneapoli5 i5 my city!!!!

[Creepydorky]

this is kind of neat except the music sucks. Thanks for sharing. Minneapolis is a great town.

[laosixonetwo]

Now this one is a sweet ride through my neighborhood.

[mudfroggie]

Agree with ninjalish...haven't been on most of Lake St in years...

[ninjalish]

Thanks for taking me back home.

[ClueMaster317]

Boy am I enjoying your videos!

[JasonfromMinnesota]

I love that video

[Neiliard86]

was just in Minneapolis for my uncle's wedding

the further west you go in the downtown area at night, the more lively it gets (Target Center and Warehouse District/Hennepin Avenue obviously)

My brother and I went down to where the I-35W bridge collapsed and across the pedestrian bridge nearby

Love the Twin Cities. Wish that CT had a city like that

[Vanostran]

faster next time!

[Arteesta]

this is such a neat idea!

[mehowe11]

yes that is a horrible inccident. i dont know how many times ive taken that bridge. im about 3 miles away from there in Roseville. im glad minnesota (minneapolis) is able to stay strong and show how much we care by helping out anyway we can!

[vibradiant]

Holy crap, what a tragic nightmare on 35W.:{

Nice video. Lived in Mpls years ago, but the Lake st. sequence took me right back to the days of riding the bus through those stop lights. I think you went past where I used to work at E. Lake and 29th, next to a bar called the Poodle. & I miss Uptown.

Should you ever rework it, maybe editing down the wait at the stoplights along Lake st. might give that part a bit more flow and pop? Great stuff, nonetheless.:]

[4dell4]

The bridge that collapsed was near that bridge, but it was the highway (35W) not a city street.

[wasupmapeeps]

is the bridge u crossed over the one that just collapsed like 4 hours ago

[eluko79]

That was the third street bridge a few blocks west.

[UnderAchieversUnited]

I miss the little apple so much.  Lots more for locals there than most of florida...

[bodle002]

Oh yes, so clearly the Mini Apple. I miss that place and all of our dear friends there (but we don't miss the winter!)

[muessiggaenger00]

Oh, sure, that's Minnesota alright. I could tell by all the orange road construction signs.

[georgianborat]

I loved the video. I've been hundreds of times through those roads. Minneapolis-St. Paul I MISS YOU!

[leepacoindustries]

that was awesome--and that was my town

[gymman1031]

Minneapolis-The most underrated city in America when it comes to fun things to do, nightlife, and young, successful people. Amen?

[eluko79]

I thought of moving out once but everyone who moves here says it dont get any better. Lucky to be born here I guess.

[gymman1031]

I'll tell you one thing! As good as it is now, as soon as the Twins and the Vikings have their own, outdoor stadiums, it will be that much better.

[alphamone]

wow, sped up a little more and it would have the feel of the game f zero x.

[Kowneyn]

MCTC @ 3:16 pick-ups to Minneapolis College!

[davis027umn]

I'm just really impressed with how you timed certain moments with the music, like when turning onto Hennepin, and the green light at the church just past Franklin. Was that planned, or amazingly good luck?

[eluko79]

I planned it to fit on the hen/lyn intersection but 2:34 and 4:40 were a cosmic coincidence.

[fatcatbuzz]

I get all my good weed from south Minneapolis (when I lived there) and all my good coke from a dealer in St Paul off University. Brings back memories. Maybe I should move back.

[eluko79]

The song is in the tags.

[chuckysdream]

What's the name the song?

[exoticsin16]

I was suprised when I heard this song start to play...Love it!!

[Cokobongo]

Geeze, there were so many stop lights. Nice Vid though!

[dirtyfraudsandliars]

There are so many stop lights because Minneapolis is run by Democrats and Democrats are all morons.

Seriously, it can take you 20 minutes to drive 2 miles in Minneapolis because of all the damn traffic lights. They aren't short, either. Waiting 2 minutes or longer is common.

Nice vid. I love "what I saw on a drive" vids. You should drive throught downtown mpls during lunchtime.

[shemraschke]

you should have driven through north minneapolis and picked up a sack. or done it at night so we could see the hookers on lake street.

[eluko79]

The weed from the suburbs is much more kind.

[shemraschke]

make it a sack of rock then. either way though I imagine you are right.

[joh2]

Lol!!! An interesting approach making this a response for the brilliant Karen Spricket's booty video!!! It does makes sense though - hers is Minneapolis themed too! (those hotpants certainly are) and 20000 hits in two days recieved on hers could be a flow on to this - and vids responding for this one!!!

Anyway I like this vid, esp with how the cityscape rapidly changes - I'll be doing similar ones where I am again soon...

[eluko79]

Thanks for letting me know about her video. She is a genius! And thanks for the posts too!

[Maygee]

Ive been there!!! And there.. and there...and there...

[radiofreebc]

If you're interested in timelapse videos, have a look at my profile. I've got a few on there. One of the Panama Canal, and a couple of the Vancouver SkyTrain. My username is 'radiofreebc'.

[motivasian]

nice job.

you drove past my apartment at minute 2:53.

woo!

[eluko79]

Cool neighborhood. My friend lives above that pharmacy on the corner.

[motivasian]

my new roommate that i've met twice told me about that pharmacy. she said it's pretty neat? haha

well next time you're in the area you should drink fishbowls at the red dragon with me!

[jdraimer]

Thanks for the heads up man! Like the video and the mass post idea! Long live the Time Lapse!!!!

[TheIceMaiden]

That was weird.  You drove right by the place I work.

[eluko79]

Ive said that before on another time lapse drive video. Weirder.

[MIMISNENA]

very good

[gipe0001]

I miss Mpls!

[swedeboy1]

How did you get through Uptown with so few red lights!?!

I have no idea! That was the quickest drive down hen
