Awesome Video Made From 5000 Still Photos!

Sorry that it's been a while since my last update. I've got some good stuff coming up, just give me some time! I do however want to feature a great video created by a colleague of mine, Dan Culberson. It's a really cool vid made from over 5000 still images! It also has an important and timely message with the holidays coming up.

Was that awesome or what!!!

Here is how Dan Culberson made the video:

I photographed everything on Small Fine JPEG, high burst drive. That way I could fire off well over 100 continuous shots before it buffered. Also, it made editing later easier.

I basically just kept the camera close by during my shopping trip and fired off bursts of frames much like you would with a video camera.

Some people have asked--no one hassled me at all about shooting inside Superstore, but I sure got a lot of weird looks.

All totaled I took over 5000 individual frames and edited them down using Pinnacle's home video software. The actual frames render about 250% the speed they were shot at.

The soundtrack was purchased from premiumbeat.com.

For you Mac users, you could probably do this in iMovie. Just a suggestion on my part, if you wanted to try this, I'd pull out that original Canon Rebel or Nikon digital that is sitting in the closet. 5000 shutter clicks is a lot of wear on the shutter!

PIXELS TO PRINT: THE ART OF PHOTOJOURNALISM the BOOK!

As many of you know, myself and my photo colleagues at the Telegraph Journal recently had an exhibit of our work, Pixels to Print: The Art of Photojournalism in Saint John and Fredericton.
I had created a nice quality catalog book of the images through Lulu.com, an online publisher, for ourselves as a memento, and due to the response by our co workers made copies for them as well.

Due to the response to our show and the fact that others who have seen the book have asked about getting copies, I thought I'd find out how many others would be interested in getting a copy.
The price will be around $25, which will include shipping and taxes.



You can view a preview of the book here:

***NOTE-DO NOT CLICK ON ADD CART! If you order through the website, you will have to pay for full shipping and taxes as well!****
My plan is to do one large order, therefore reducing the shipping charges. You will have to pay for the book beforehand, either through Visa or mastercard or coming in to the Telegraph office on Crown Street and paying cash.

The book is 7" high by 9" wide, full colour high quality printing, and contains every image in the show.

Exact specs:
9" x 7", perfect binding, white interior paper (80# weight), full-color interior ink, white exterior paper (100# weight), full-color exterior ink
