GoPro on a Clock Tower

I stuck my GoPro on the minute hand of the George Fox University Centennial Tower. This is the result.

FAQ:
1. How did you get up that high?
Ladder.

2. What GoPro mount did you use?
I actually used the flat mount that comes as part of the GoPro packaging, stuck on with gaff tape. Gaff tape is nice because it comes off easily and doesn't leave a nasty residue like duct tape does.

3. How often did it take frames?
Once every ten seconds.

4. Why did you render it with those black bars on the sides?
The GoPro took each frame in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Rather than make it widescreen but chop out parts of the top and bottom, I left it square so you can see everything.

Takes the idea of doing time lapse on an egg timer to another level.

I love how you can see the shadow of the tower itself shifting.

Fantastic video! How did you get the GoPro on the clock, it looks like a tall tower? Or is the fisheye lens making it look bigger than it actually is?
