I knew when I saw this traffic that I had to shoot it for twenty minutes in order to run it sped up at 20:1.  I thought I would have to speed it up and then go normal speed for a while, then speed it up again. But because of the ways the cars stop, I just sped it up.

The music is at normal speed. They play it that fast at the end of the song.It was recorded in an Athens restaurant and I have the permission to use the music. It is an old enough folk song to not need the permission of the composer, just the musicians.

Clouds from the balcony of our Grand Mayan suite in Acapulco. I cut off the corners to mask the fact that I made an error in the shot composition. Part of the ceiling was showing in the upper right corner. Some of the defects are really just birds flying across. At over 7.500% of the original speed, it caused a bit of a problem. I seem to be preoccupied with clouds lately.

This is from my Sony HDR-FX1 HDV camcorder, which is why it is slightly larger than the others.

Epcot Center in May 2003. All ambient sound. No special effects added. Audio and video captured on the Canon ZR10.

These shots were taken at Epcot Center in "The Seas" exhibit.  Amazing aren't they. Such grace.  My original clip was unretouched. In this replacement, I extended the transitions and used a little slow motion just to make the footage come out even with the music.

Sometimes it isn't about the editing. Sometimes it is just a pretty picture that moves.

This is just the first of many clips from my Disney World vacation in May 2003. Yes, I know we went in May 2002 as well. We like it there!

All ambient sound.

The video was entered into the Adobe Premiere "Reel" Festival and Competition. I didn't win anything, but it is still the best video I had ever done up to that point.  It is a larger file and it uses a higher bandwidth than my other videos. The contest was limited to 90 seconds at under 10MB. So I took it right up to the limit. I used the WM8 encoder so that Mac users could watch it as well.  I hope you enjoy it. The music came from http://www.freeplaymusic.com/ before they changed the rules.
