*i make no claims to be a professional, i just like to have fun.
dont know if this qualifies, but i started getting interested in video editing a few years ago and wanted to play with some random footage I took in LA. from various trips around the city I decided to put something together with music behind it.
1st one; if theres any story at all then i guess it would be "lost man wanders to sunset". im pretty happy with it considering it was the first thing i ever attempted to edit, half made with a phone+cheap cam and i somewhat made a story line out of random stuff with a few specific shots.
and i spontaneously tried a stop motion one time when i was at the beach just assuming an idea how its done. this was done completely on an ipad and then pieced together. its rather short but I would love to play around some more with stop motion, its was a frustrating kind of fun. tripod would be nice.
again, if there is a story here i guess it would just be "rock race: only the strong survive"

The first video was blocked, which is too bad because I enjoy video editing and like to see the work of others.
I like this stop motion, it's fun even with the moving camera. A tripod makes a big difference, you can control all the movement. But I like your handheld style, especially for a first effort. I don't think I'd have the patience to move all that **** around and then try to line up the shot again for each one.
I do some time lapse work, just for fun you know, and not as fun as what you did. Let's see if I can get this embedding thing.
I like the the song selection for this project, it makes me think of the ending scene in Ocean's Eleven in front the fountains/fireworks. What kind of camera did you use? How did you go about this shot, just set up tripod, set a timer and crack open beers?
I have a lot of stop-motion ideas I'd like to do in the desert. Need to buy a real camera before committing any serious time to ideas that are time consuming. Make it worth it etc.
I have a Nikon D80, although the camera itself isn't that important. It just has to either have a port for a shutter release ($30) or a built-in auto-shoot or an intravelometer. I don't know enough about it, like I said I just do it for fun and it's pretty rudimentary. I've had enough practice so it looks sort of polished.
The tripod is key tho because you can keep stability and really create the illusion of time speeding up. I'm not good enough yet to get movement in the perspective, but I have friends who do these and get all sorts of crazy results. Then they also spend a lot more money on their equipment than I do. My friend Andrew Curtis is one of the best photographers I know, and he has some pretty sweet time lapse equipment.
Just thought I'd stop by to share someone elses photography, sorry I don't know how to post the pics from it. I found the pics on a youtube channel and he uses all the diff pics for his music vids.
I went to London zoo a few weeks ago. Here's a few photos I took; I just messed about with them in photoshop quickly, didn't do any serious post processing so they're a bit rough and ready and completely overdone.
A canon 600D with the kit lens (18-55mm zoom). I had just got the camera and had a one day window to go to the zoo before going back up north for Christmas so I didn't have time to buy any lenses. Since then I got a 70-300mm Sigma as part of Amazon's lightning deals on boxing day, now I want some primes!
