Greensboro, NC Freeways Stop Motion

The photographs in this video were taken on freeways in and around PTI (Piedmont Triad International Airport) in Greensboro. If you look closely, you can see three planes either landing or taking off.

Nice video. I actually go home that way from work. Watch out right there where the bypass ends and the two ramps split off. Motorcycle cop likes to hide out there. I'm going to lose my license on that road one day. : )

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know they did that. I rarely travel that stretch, but during the times that I have I haven't seen ANY cops on there. Some people (including myself sometimes) like to use that as a racetrack as there aren't that many cars on it and rarely patrolled.

Bryan, this method of documenting road adventures actually started out because I didn't have a decent video camera to record drives with. I had done a few stop motion videos before but nothing as long as these videos. It's kind of hard to explain. I use my tripod that I use for still photography and have one leg in my cupholder and the other two in the passenger seat and drivers seat (adjustable legs). It sometimes moves if I hit a bump or take a curve too fast, but it almost always stays secure

I actually set my DSLR (Canon Rebel XTi) up on my tripod in my car and used my shutter release to take the necessary photos. The photos were taken every two seconds. Hope this helps!

@ASkywalker1 The lanes were built ahead of time when traffic levels are expected to soar very fast in the near future with increased truck and commuter traffic. I call that smart thinking and a wise use of money and labor. It's better to get the job done now rather than come back in 10 years and rip everything up to expand the road.

Okay, I was wondering how you were doing this. Very cool.

How do you get your tripod to stay stationary? I can't seem to get mine to do it -- stay stationary -- so I've just stuck with the dashboard-mounted approach.

that is very intresting . how did you manage this .. are you using a video camera that can take still images every few seconds or so ?

what type of camera do you have ?
