50 States in 14 days - the picturevideo (48 states)

Where Do You Torpedo? - $10,000 Photo/Video Challenge
http://www.toastytorpedo.com/

Quiznos teamed up with independent filmmakers (Hunter Weeks - 10 MPH/10 Yards/Ride the Divide and Mike Dion - Ride the Divide) to produce a series of videos that capture the Quiznos Torpedo phenomenon and aim to inspire anyone to create videos of their own for the "Where's Your Torpedo" $10,000 Video Challenge.

I joined the team and did the lower 48 states in 12 days with Mike Dion. I shot 5000 photos. This is the picturevideo I made from them. All photos shot with a Canon 40D. Each frame plays for 3 frames on the timeline.

Wow. I'm planning on doing this next month. Did you feel rushed doing it in two weeks? I'm trying to do it in 1 month. Could you give me an idea of how much money you spent on gas? How much for other expenses? Sorry for so many questions. Im just very curious. peace.

[mikehedge]

@BloodRedChorizo neat!!! ya 1 month would be better =) this was solid driving/filming the whole time. Gas was several thousand. What we did is made the google map of all the cities than added the gas/per mile to get the approx cost.

Awesome!

Have a few comments for what they are worth.

SOUND

first track is bad. It hit me after a few mins in and I took off my headphones about 10 seconds before the track change. The second track was good

TIMING

Its too long... I know have hours of footage, so I know it was hard to edit down, but I had to force myself to keep watching after 4 mins of the same stuff. I did get back into it because the visuals are great! less crew shots?

Visuals

Stunning!

I love compressed time!

[mikehedge]

this is every single photo I shot... all 5000.. it is long... we were on the road for 12 days and did the 48 states...
