Time-lapse videos

Ello.

Whenever I think of time related shtuff, time-lapse videos always come to mind. I'm hoping the following videos that I will link to will give you guys some inspiration and maybe even more ideas about your final pieces. If you have a really fast internet connection, watch the videos in HD by clicking on the HD button. The images come out cleaner and the colors can be viewed better that way.

The first video <--- click link and watch in HD

Eirik Solheim, the creator of this project, took images from the same spot outside his house over a year (2005) and then condensed them into a 40-second video that showcases the changes in color as the seasons change over time.



The second video is another time lapse video that Solheim did after completing the experiment he did in 2007. He added audio that he recorded on the spot to the video and since it is stretched to over 2 minutes long, the color changes are more subtle. Another difference that can be noted with this video from the first one is that the camera is more focused on the foliage and by doing this, the changes in colors are more arresting since the the areas where a lot of color changing that we attribute to seasonal changes (leaves :D) are right in the face of the viewer.

The next video showcases various natural occurrences that are just simply mesmerizing. From wet brown sand, slowly being covered by a blanket of the light blue sea, the blue sea giving way to orange sand as the tide descends to night skies changing from purple-orange, to black with some reds peeking out from the sides as heavenly bodies streak into the horizon, their colors also changing... Fungi that people just tread on and ignore are pulsating and alive, slowly creeping onto moss-covered rocks while the mushrooms explode into intricate patterns, and as you zoom out into the sky, the blue atmosphere of dawn in the mountains is being tapped by the orange of the sunrise sneaking into view.

I can go on and on, but yeah, just watch it. In HD or you're missing out on really cool colors. :D



The last video is of city scenes and shows how light is interacting with the glass windows of tall buildings and how street lamps reflecting into the water and blurred car lights create stunning imagery in the urban landscape.


Enjoy :D
