Snow on Norman Street
We got our first major snowfall here in Salem and, just like last year, I wanted to try and capture it. If you’ve ever scrolled through a long grid of photos in iPhoto, Aperture or Lightroom you might have seen something that looks a little like the video above. That’s where I got the idea anyway. Unfortunately, it didn’t really turn out like I had imagined. I was hoping the difference in color would be really apparent as the snow blew in and night fell. But, at this point, I’ve already spent two days on this and I’m sick of looking at it.
I used the iPhone’s camera and let it shoot every five seconds for two hours. The phone was supported by my Glif on top of a camera extender on top of my Manfrotto 501 baseplate.
I used a replicator in Motion, each offset by one frame in a six by six grid. That was enough for my computer to beg for death, so I baked it out and finished the rest in Final Cut. The music is Dirty Glass by WHY? [iTunes].
Nice song choice, sir. Looks pretty awesome up there.
