So I finally got a chance to put together the time lapse photography movies I’ve been talking about for a while now.

12 hours and about 2,000 photos crammed into just 2 minutes. Pretty nifty! I think it turned out alright for my first go at true timelapse. I have some ideas on what I want to do next… I think the execution will be better next time.

This time lapse photography was done for our move in February 2009 from our old apartment into the new one. Also features the rather epic set up of the fish tank in our living room. Takes quite a lot of work to put the fishies back in their watery home! Check it out below:

Setup: Nikon D90 on a tripod, hooked up to laptop using Nikon’s Camera Control Pro 2 software, time lapse photos/frames compiled using Quicktime Pro and Adobe Premiere CS4. Note to self next time… turn off auto exposure.

Bonus points to anyone who knows which soundtrack this song is from

Enjoy!

I apologize for the lack of updates lately! My life is in boxes and so was my computer!

The move went well on Saturday. We managed to pack up the entire apartment in 24 hours. The movers came Saturday afternoon and it only took them 3 hours to do the entire move. Wow! Super fast. Allan and I were helping the entire time so that’s probably a big factor for why it went so fast. My forearms and quads are still tired! But at least it was a good workout

Despite the crazy move on Saturday night, we still managed to get out for a friend’s birthday and play… of all things… bingo. It was entertaining to say the least. And then a late night Wendy’s snack.

Sunday was spent unpacking, mounting the TV (took a couple hours), cleaning the place, getting cable hooked up, and installing some curtains. We didn’t get much of a chance to really unpack any personal belongings.

Monday I started my new job in Gastown! I’ve got a beautiful view that I can see from my desk of Canada Place and the water. It makes a huge difference on my mood when I can see the water and the mountains in the background. Keeps me invigorated. Everyone at the company is SO SO nice. Ridiculously nice, really. I’m having a little trouble adjusting to all the new systems I am learning, but each day I am feeling more and more comfortable. I hope I can make a big difference.

I have tomorrow and Friday off for moving chores and because of the Nexon Big White trip. Even though the studio is now closed, we all paid for the trip already so we’re going to have a great time snowboarding and skiing together. I’m really excited. Looks like the conditions up at Big White won’t be too bad!

I have two of my really close university guy friends (and roommate!) coming up from San Francisco to visit me and also to go on the trip. They’re arriving Thursday and Friday, so somehow I have to get the entire room that is full of boxes and sports stuff somewhat cleared. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do it in one day by myself. Scary.

Either way it looks like it should be a great time at Big White and so far the move is going alright! I can’t wait to show you guys some of the pictures from the place now that it’s starting to get somewhat organized
