Stock - Lecture Audience Timelapse

Timelapse stock footage of an audience gathering to hear Don Tapscott speak.

If it sounds usefull I would recommend downloading a low-quality 64x MPEG-4 to make sure it is what you want. If so, then download the original 4x, 16x or 64x MPEG-2 as that will be the highest quality.

Robin sitting in nest. Almost completely static, but I was unable to break the HD MPEG-2 original down into a smaller sized clip.

MPEG-4 (QuickTime preview), MPEG-2 (HD 1280x720x30p).
