Feux d'artifice Tour Eiffel - 14 juillet 2007

Not really a timelapse, more of a stop-motion video, but, hey, since it involves taking pictures over time, this qualifies for being featured in this blog. I recorded this with my Canon picture camera on a tripod, taking pictures every 2 seconds (or something like that). Turned out great. The French national anthem gives the video great panache!

Caribbean Timelapse - Aug 2006

In 2006 I had the chance to go to St John, Virgin Islands. This place was like heaven. I remember seeing on TV beautiful caribbean sunsets and I always wanted to capture one. Well, this was my chance to make my dream come true! Here is what I brought back :-)

Gotham City - Aug 2008

This is my most cinematic timelapse. I used a timelapse that I recorded in Chicago early 2008.
It all started with a timelapse of Chicago that I wanted to playback on a track from the movie "Batman Begins".
As editing went on, inspiration kept coming. That is how I created the animation at the beginning.
Thank you, Sandy Mullangi, for letting me use the view of your apartment for my timelapse :-).
