Switches
About a year ago my friend Pete Milo asked me to do some photos for a new music project he was working on. After the shoot we were looking through some of the photos in Google's photo-editing program Picasa. I accidently clicked on something and it turned the photos into a time-lapse style movie. We started messing around with this feature - throwing more photos I had of Pete in it and adding some music. Eventually the obvious hit us - let's add his song and turn this into a real video. We did a few more shoots but then kind of moved on and never finished it. Today I started to think of this project after seeing a video Ted Mallison made for the Akron band Drummer. So I decided to finish it up and put it on the old YouTube.
It took over 1,000 photos to make this...

Man. That is awesome. And I can't help but be completely out of breath afterward thinking of the 1000 shots it took. Very cool.
Awesome.
A new favorite. Nice work Tim.
I should have asked, how long is each frame up? I like the pace of the picture changes.
Do you mean that the effect of the video is made up by Picasa?If so ,it is really fantastic.
Its six frames a second. In some segments I doubled the pictures and changed the color or exposure to give it that "old timey" feel.
Yes, it was done with Picasa.
I usually hate everything you do or say, but this was magnificent
Tim,
That is most awesome. How big was the final file size, and what format did it spit out?

Looks great. What is the song called?
Oh, 'Switches' - I assumed the title of the post would give that away but now realize its not actually that obvious...
Catchy song. After I posted My comment I figured that might be the title.
