This was my first attempt using movie related software to process this video ... so please bare with me while I learn new tricks!

I painted this over 36 minutes while watching the premier of Amazing Race and recorded it on my Canon A2000IS in 4 steps, approx. 9 minutes each. I then used MPEG Streamclip to combine the videos into one long video. Then, I uploaded it into Windows Movie Maker and sped up the time 2 times. Unfortunately, this converted it to 18 minutes (over YouTube's 15 minute limit) so I went and sped it up again 2 times.
So - this video is time lapse speed of 4 times original speed.
Now, I didn't say it was a good painting! But, I was trying to remember what my desktop background looked like and wanted to paint that. Afterwards, I took the image and appended it to the video so you can see what I was trying to paint!
I know everybody is a critic and you can take it or leave it, but it's actually quite fun trying to do this. I went out to Walmart and even bought a personal desk organizer (foldup desk) $20.00 CDN and a matching foldup chair $22.00 CDN so I can paint on the table and not worry about making such a mess on the kitchen table!
Loved it!
