Florida to New York Time Lapse by Robert Giordano

Time lapse film of a drive from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to New York City. More than 5000 high definition still frames from a Nikon D200 condense the 18 hour drive down to 6 minutes. The film ends, winding through the streets of New York City. Music by Christopher Lawrence. See my site http://www.design215.com for more time-lapse photography.

It looks a little awkward...looks like a slide show rather than a time lapse.

@BeyondOpenSource I can see your point but I selected the frame rate to go with the music and also to provide just enough time to see each frame. I agree a faster frame rate makes a smoother video and you can see that in some of my other driving time lapses. This one was done for a specific effect. Sit in a dark room and stare at the screen. =)

How many hours did you really spend??

[rob215x]

Driving? 19 hours. 

[Ryugeit]

wow that vehicle has to be really fuel efficient because you didnt make many stops

[rob215x]

I started out at a gas station. There are two gas stops in the video, one at 1:49 and another at 5:23. There was a gas stop at 4:15 that I edited out.

It depends on where you are going in NY. In Delaware and Maryland it seemed like I was being hit up for a toll every mile or so lol. If you are not heading over the bridges or thru the Lincoln tunnel than I would budget $15-17. If you take the gw bridge or the throgs neck then double that figure.

Really sick video!!!

The music reminds me of Sprockets from Saturday Night live.

this is so amazing, i can't find any words to describe. respect man. marvelous. i was driving similar distances for example istanbul-Stuttgart (1423 miles), very hard to make in one go without sleeping. also amazing how big the world is. if u look on the map the distance between florida and nyc are a few inches. imagine stars which are billion times bigger than the sun. O_O

greetings from turkey...

[Romeo11241]

I'm leaving on Wednesday to ny from fl also, how much did you spend on tolls?

[BeyondOpenSource]

@rob215x Well I won't argue, it looks awesome.

@patty903 Try taking some ecstacy, or even some cocaine with you - that should do the trick my son.

There were no traffic at all at I 95 North at all including New Jersey turnpike.
