This is a timelapse recording I took from my balcony starting just before an approaching thunderstorm on the afternoon of May 15th, 2007. It's shot with a 7 megapixel digital still camera with one frame every 20 or 30 seconds. The night sky kept looking so cool that I decided to leave the camera running all night long. The original frames are all 3072x2304 pixels -- way higher than HD's 1920x1080 size. This yields a lot of versatility for panning and zooming around the image. The HD version is amazing. Enjoy!

  • that was pretty cool video! How did you move the camera like that, pan around and zoom in and out while doing timelapse? Totally looks like a different planet. You should do one of these little slower with sunrise/sunset. You would capture some awesome colors.

  • @Smokie181 The whole video was shot with a high resolution still camera with a wide angle lens. Because the individual photos are much higher resolution than even 1080p footage, I was able to zoom in without losing detail. All panning and zooming was done during post production in Final Cut Pro.

  • Love this vid. Great quality. Very fitting background music. Is that Ryerson campus in the background?

  • Ryerson is a bit south of here (to the left of the camera). You might be able to see the edge of one of the buildings -- I'm not sure. Re the music: yeah, I was amazed at how well it works with what I shot. Synchronicity.
