timelapse
nuclear
Like a sinister version of Aaron Koblin’s Flight Patterns, Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful time-lapse of every nuclear explosion, mapped and counted by country. I must be either ignorant or naive because I hadn’t realised how many there were during the 1980s. Cue soundtrack of Radioactivity by Kraftwerk:
“…Chernobyl, Harrisburg; Sellafield, Hiroshima; Chain reaction and mutation; Contaminated population; Stop radioactivity; Is in the air for you and me.”
we’ve got five six years, stuck on my eyes – d bowie
It’s nearly three years after the event, but I only recently came across one of the best time-lapse films I’ve ever seen: Noah takes a photo of himself every day for six years.
The impact is partly due to Noah’s perseverance, partly to the manipulative soundtrack, partly to the unchanging facial expression and partly to the identical positioning of the eyes in each shot, but the main impact, and what makes it almost unbearably poignant, is the aging that occurs over what is perhaps a quarter of Noah’s life so far.
He’s still taking photographs of himself: have at look at his website.
the sky at night
This time-lapse film of a night sky starts quietly and appears to be dull, but it’s worth persevering… If you’re interested in how it was made, read the tenth comment, and scroll down further for an explanation of the AA screen.
slugfest
For the first time in far too long, I dug out my SLR and video cameras today. It’s so long since I last used them that I had to think while setting them up, but I enjoyed today’s session – some close-up stills and timelapse filming of a slug, in preparation for more prolonged filming at work next week.
