Video - WATCHMEN review for R4NT.com

Zack Snyder's film adaptation of Alan Moore's WATCHMEN is as brilliant as Moore's novel. Gary and I recorded our thoughts pertaining to its awesomeness as we drove home from the theater. The video was then used as part of R4NT.com's WATCHMEN review.

To sum up: Movie good. Alan Moore is brilliant but crazy for saying he'll never watch the movie. Zack Snyder's mental state is unknown at this time.

The master render is a 255 MB WMV file. There is a brief time lapse shot of me driving at night at the end which is potentially recyclable.

My balcony had an excellent view of houses across the street as they were being knocked down. If you are going to download any of these clips, be sure to save-link-as and not try open anything in-browser. The files are all quite large (raw footage crazily so).

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.

Stock - Timelapse of London Tube

In 2006-07, I traveled around Europe including London. Took quite a few timelapse shots, and the first I'm posting is that of a ride in the London Transit/Tube system. Was hoping the stopping and starting of the car would be a bit more obvious, and could potentially be put in sync with some electronica. Now reviewing the footage I don't think that would quite work. Hopefully someone can put it to good use.

Internet Archive is hosting the various speeds, all in QuickTime 7 (H.264) format, HD resolution. The black edges which appear are me stabilizing the footage in post.

This x064 speed version is 70MB, and probably the best clip to get a feel for what the footage looks like, as it is a middle speed.

Stock: Calgary Sunrise

Timelapse shot of Calgary sunrise sped up 100x. Or is it a sunset? I'll never tell. Ok, its a sunrise.
