a few weeks ago erick testroete send me this video which summs up his journey across japan in photos. really great idea. here’s a quote from a comment he has given which reveals some interesting informations about the video :>.

“We never went there with the plan to do this, but one night we were looking at the pictures so far. We held down the button to get through the pictures faster and we noticed it looked fairly cool. I figured it would be a good idea to make a video this way.

I used lightroom to crop and process all the images (its good at doing batch stuff), Métamorphose to rename the exported files into a numbered sequence, sony vegas to cut to music, then virtual dub to compress and scale.

The video is running at 6 frames a second. I originally took 3340 pictures, but doing the math there should be about 2760 images in the video. The camera was a pentax k20d and I brought an external hard drive to save what ended up being 46 gigs in raw files.”

    ich finde ja er hat einen sehr merkwürdigen photografie stil, da er ziemlich viele banale momente mehrmals aus verschiedenen perspektiven aufnimmt, aber gerade das macht dieses video aus. finds toll wies geworden ist, schön das er es der welt gezeigt hat, sind ja auch nen paar persönliche momente dabei und halt das + den stil + die passende musik, das machts aus….
