Testing out Photoshop CS6 timeline functionality with some footage captured with the Gorilla Lapse.

Wintec Marae Timelapse
Acting as a research assistant to a colleague, I conducted a sunrise to sunset 360 timelapse in front of the Wintec Marae for a different research project. Footage was then edited, color corrected and embedded into the Lucid player. The result can be interacted with above. The video file is quite large and could take some time to download.
Mindlapse
Mindlapse was a 2 day timelapse recorded to document the installation of the art exhibit, Mindmap, on the Wintec wall in Hamilton. This illustrates how using extended timelapse can be used as a documentary tool for an installation, and also stand on it’s own as a work. This is the unofficial ‘director’s cut’ and not endorsed by the artist.
Elemental
First completed experimental piece completed in preparation for Critique 2. The work exhibits a myriad of film techniques and edit styles that I’ve been experimenting with. Here you can see the juxtaposition of both extremes of the time spectrum from super slow motion to hyper-real time lapse. Altered tempo and intercutting enhances the varying speeds of the shots, and a supporting soundtrack helps drive the piece forward. In addition to playing with slow motion and motion controlled time lapse, I also began experimenting with various distortion techniques that could be applied to 360 video footage. Continue reading
360 Sound Sync Test
First sync sound test with the 360 camera at Wintec during the 2012 multi-cam shoot. All recording parameters (framerate, datarate, compression, etc) needed to be optimized to ensure that there were no dropped frames recording otherwise the editing process would become more difficult and possibly render the take unusable. It was noted that consistent and stable power needed to be supplied for optimum performance of the laptop. This has since been somewhat rectified by lowering recording parameters to produce less strain on the laptop while on battery power.
In any case, without a consistent sustained framerate during recording, sound sync becomes impossible.
