Stumptown People



An animation time-lapse movie of people coming into Stumptown Cafe in downtown Portland. I took a bunch of photos with the camera on the table and made a movie out of it. I like the effect but it’s mostly just an experimental first attempt.

Camera: Nikon D70s. Software: iMovie.

  • Anne: If you want to put a Google Video box on a blog hosted on wordpress.com then read this entry. And let me know when you've set up your blog!

    Thank you! I am working on a wordpress blog and tried inserting code from dropshots.com without luck. I will definitely check google video going forward.
  • Thank you both!

    Jennifer: I didn't use any transition. Just one frame after another. Yea, fading would do that but I wanted that jerky time lapse effect. Also, I was releasing the shutter manually each time so if there were people directly in front at any time, I wouldn't have clicked. But most of the time my view was clear.

    Anne: I uploaded the video to Google Video. The video box was made automatically by using their code to show it on this blog.
  • I love the experiement! Time lapse type photography has always interested me. Does iMovie create the video box for posting as well?

    I think it's pretty cool! What sort of transition did you use? I wonder if a new transition (fade?) would make it less jerky. Don't get me wrong....I like the movie! It's amazing that you didn't have people stand in front of you for long periods.
