A few weeks ago I downloaded the iPhone “Time Lapse” app. It’s a few dollars and change on the App Store. I had it in mind to do several time lapse videos at the time but I never got around to it. I finally set up a few shots yesterday.
What surprised me the most was how easy it was to organize the photos and stitch them together to make an HD video. Quicktime Pro has an “Open Image Sequence” option which looks for a pattern in the filenames. All it asks you to do is choose a frame rate, I went with 24p (23.98), then all you have to do is export the video to either 720p or 1080p and let it crop it into 16:9 for you.
Watch the other time lapse video after the jump! (more…)

I spent the weekend at my apartment in Starkville since my podcasting studio is located on the second floor of my palatial estate and we were overdue for another 10th Wonder Podcast. I was about two hours into editing the podcast when I started noticing an ominous smell: burning electronics. (more…)

I knew at the beginning of this year that I wanted to take a big leap this summer. I’ve known for a long time now that I want to head west to pursue my career in media once my studies are done here. This is my last semester of classes and I will be getting my degree this year. So what’s next? I knew I wanted to find an internship this summer in order to get used to being in the working world. So after much thought and research I landed on a company that I thought fit the exact profile of a media company that I’d love to be a part of: Revision3.
I sent in my resume in January, and this past week I flew to San Francisco for an interview. While I was there I was told that they had accepted me and that I’ll be a Revision3 edit intern this summer. I’ll be helping assemble some of the shows or basically helping out wherever I’m needed. It’s pretty fulfilling to set your heart on something, do the work, and achieve that goal.
