Timelapse video of a building in construction - 5s/day

This is a timelapse video I made in 2001 when my company decided to expand and build another office next to the one we had. Somehow, I managed to justify the expenditure of a camera and a server in a waterproof box running 24/7 on the roof, so I set it all up, started it in March 2001 and the hot Utah summer sun finally baked everything in July 2001, ruining the effort of showing the building being erected from groundbreaking to finish. I kept the video anyway, so here it is.

Update: there's a version of this video sped up at 1 day per frame here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWXAMeDfWss

interesting.

There are two cars, on the lower left that never moved; were they abandoned... unwanted?

Could you edit this and only show the daytime pics. what would that look like?

Just wondering.

thanks for posting.

Cheers.

I've posted the video that shows only daytime pics. See the update in the description.

For the cars, I too have wondered why they didn't move. They were trucks from the local telco that had an office next door, and they were apparently outfitted to perform work on phone lines or something, I'm not too sure. Perhaps they never had any problem with their infrastructure, so the cars never had to move (fat chance) :-)

Dear St,

Thanks for your response.

I checked-out the daytime one; sounds like a dream job, that one -imagine how uncomfortable people might feel, with cameras able to watch over them, like that.

Cheers.
