Mardi Gras Whimsey

A freehand and mounted time lapse movie shot at the 2008 Krewe of Highland Parade in Shreveport, La. All images were shot with Nikon D2H DLSR cameras. Nearly 2500 images were shot in less than two hours.

Photography by The Times staff photojournalists Shane Bevel and Jim Hudelson. Audio and editing by Shane Bevel.

A special thanks to the Red and White Second Line Band from New Orleans, La. for letting us record the first song of the parade to use as a soundtrack.

Cool video, Shane and Jim. The live parade music from the Red & Black Brass Band of Grambling, La, was terrific. Your dancers, pretty girls, beads and appealing animation style was swank.

Thanks for including the Blanc et Noir Marching Society, too!
