I used three cameras, and 1,900 frames.

Nice job. Any tips on how you did this?

Very cool, that is a bunch of pictures to pull that together. Nice job.

It was easy. At least I spent a lot of time reading to do it ; )
I mounted a Nikon D200 to the roof and it has a built in intervalometer, so it fired a picture every 15 seconds, starting 30 minutes before the gates opened. Then I walked around with two cameras, one on a tripod and another on a Super Clamp. I fired the tripod camera with a cable release (timed just used my watch, every 5 seconds) and the Super Clamp camera was fired using Pocket Wizards... so every time I fired one, the other fired too. So I could shoot tight and long, or a different angle.

I used Quick Time Pro to create Mov files for each "sequence." Quick Time Pro allows you to choose the frames per second. I then imported each sequence into Avid. (I started on Final Cut Pro, but the rendering was killing me) to make the final movie.

The song was recorded at the game using the Canon 5d MarkII, as video, and I used just the audio. The song determined how long the final project was. I had more sequences to add, but not enough sound. I also played a lot with frames per second.

Nice.

Post the big version to Vimeo. Also, go to timescapes.org and post it there too.

TL is addictive...
