Timelapse clouds Los Angeles

Just timelapse clouds on a cloudy day in LA... Been trying to figure out how to piece some timelapse together, but don't have a cutter's mind or patience... So I'll upload these lapses and hope somebody throws 'em together and makes something more than I could or would..

Time laps out of the window of my apartment a few years ago

An Easter lily blooming...

A Time lapse video of a blooming stargazer lily from the side and a frontal view

We shot dust in front of a projector both at 60fps and some with a slightly longer shutter. The color is from the different stills that were projected. Maybe the different shots could become layered? Or the colors could be manipulated...

Okay, so I got so excited about Nebulullaby that I got up early this morning, packed my video camera and went back to the Exploratorium at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Living here now, it's alot easier than it used to be to get there. WOO!

After a false start (camera = good, lack of tapes = bad) I got about 20 minutes of footage. This is the last minute and a half. It's going to take a while to compress and upload the rest of it, but I wanted something up so folks knew it was coming.

And I didn't realize until last night that the Exploratorium was founded by Frank Oppenheimer -- which is unbelievably cool.

For the collab!
I pieced them together to save time while uploading. It's three parts, though. Some stars, some sparkly shit and then a moon. =]

Light experiments - Dance Dance Repetition - v2

If decided to use, my suggestion would be between 0:00-0:45.

Note: If downloaded, it is, in fact, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, and not standard.

(Re-uploaded, hm...don't remember what I wrote when I first uploaded it :-) sorry)

Part of my Colors-Album (http://www.hitrecord.org/records/27257).

From time to time I'll (hopefully) be releasing resource-records for a certain color. Just some random images, roughly cut together. Just meant as resources.

Objects used in this REC: glass red ball with air bubbles in it, infrared lamp, lava lamp

Music is one of the wonderful pieces by Albert.

I found this moka (is that the name?) at home and thought I record it. Especially now, that there are so many people in the REC room working instead of sleeping...(though sleep is probably overrated) ;-) some (virtual) coffee? :-)

I thought maybe someone can find some use for this. (I left at the end also 15 seconds with only sound, in case you just need this for the sound....damn this projectors are loud :-) (if you need a longer version I could record some minutes of the sound))

I took iasiosee's projector resource and dabbled to HitRECordize it into a countdown reel. :)

A Love Wall, with the colors of HitRECord

We found this wall near the Sacr

First of (hopefully) many remixes from the Heart Beats collaboration

Started this Collaboration but a few days ago, and look what's happened already. Lisa contributed a blinking heart light and a standard beat sound. Harbinger contributed a less literal Resource from which I took one of the images plus the bass.

My mom gave me that stethoscope for the winter holy days...

Stars, roses, a lotus flower, escargots, and hearts gather to worship Hitrecord.

Wanted to see what happens when I display the Hitrecord logo in my room. Magical things happend.

Dedicated to my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. :)

Hitrecord logo transforming my ambience.

The transformation continues...

picture's worth a thousand words right?

This is my first RECord and it was a lot of fun to make, so i hope you enjoy!

This is the very raw footage from the second dance shoot. Im encoding another version of this which might take a day, but for now I'll upload this.
Forgive the clumsy stumbles, the elements were were working against our favor. Sand isn't the easiest thing in the world to dance on haha.

I had an idea with this footage. I watched Joe's video and thought that it would be fantastic to combine some of this footage for a music video. This is just raw footage with long takes and linking steps which makes it easier for an editor to play with. I have seen a remix if the other raw footage and it was fantastic. hope someone can find good use for this.

Shot and edited by: Eli Beck-Gifford (elibeckg)
Destiny: Lexy Hulme (lula)
Destiny Doubleglass: Meagan Kong (solongkong)

Video inspired by line in Metaphorest's, Morgan M Morgansen’s Date with Destiny: “Capricitous califrag Morgan M. Morgansen stood in the longroom of his fourwalls, narcissising himself in the doubleglass.”

Since you never see Destiny “narcissing herself in the doubleglass" pre date, we decided to demonstrate what a personette looks like when she prepares. Though the dancey ditty was choreographed to The Ditty Bops’ "Your Head's Too Big" we added Madrond101’s piano audio from Morgan to set the tone.

What we were hoping to happen next:
-Narration (we would love a monologuey tale or a clowny song of a personette preparing!)
-Score (some tunes to portray her datesoon nerves – we love Madrond101’s piano, but that’s what plays when Morgan prepares. Destiny prepares to something that makes her lips cherried to the max!)
-Extra girly wardrobe room (ribbons and BOWS everywhere – pink – red lips)
-what else? Anyone else wanna RECord themselves personette preparing?

dan spins poi without fire and Rev Alex busts the lyrics

Tap dance portion that works nicely with the rhythm in Dance Dance Repetition :)

Audio tech's I hope the tap itself is useful to you, and video people, I hope the video is equally as useful to you :)

Filmed some dance moments for the Dance Dance Collab, this particular one is a girl dancing on pointe :) I know this is a bit on the late side but I think it works really nicely with the beat of the song. Pay no attention to where the song falls in line with the video, I couldnt figure out how to select the portion of the song I wanted so I just begins from the beginning, so feel free to cut this up and paste it back together :)

Hope this can be useful somewhere :)

Quick last min contribution to Dance Dance Repetition. The rhythmic stepping combination audio could possibly be used to enhance parts of the song as well...I felt the beats complimented each other, what do you think?

Chop, edit, mix, Re-RECord away my friends :)

For the Cyn collab

thank you for the REsource RonEn: http://www.vimeo.com/479342

i am what i look like to you
but i don't know what you see through
you are what you look like to me
but i'm not sure through what i see

going by the show of shows
my eyes do not seem to be those
to trust to be whose just and knows
how anybody's story goes

so it seems its up to me
to decide through what i see
as it seems it's up to you
to decide what you see through

so if you like i will agree
to be the he through whom you see
as long as i can count on you
to be the who that i see through

you are what i love to see
and i look pretty good to you
and everything looks good to me
when we are what i'm seeing through

Hitrecorder "Devo" here, thought I'd write a blurb introducing our little project. On Sunday, I had lunch with my good pal Trevor (and now fellow hitrecorder "whiteninja") and suggested we make a video of some ridiculous dance moves for this "Dance Dance Repetition" collaboration on a site called hitrecord.org I had just joined. We started with a simple idea of this song inciting an abundance of uncontainable exuberance in someone. And then...it got random. Random slash awesome. If you're into that sort of thing. Which we are. Obviously anyone feel free to resource any pieces of this for any different versions of a music video! Enjoy!

And for fun, a play by play!

PRODUCTION TIMELINE :

Sunday:

Lunch which turned into dinner, whilst brainstorming possible short film ideas. Decision to do something for the hitrecord.org site. Dance Dance Repetition was decided on. Called a few peeps to join the next day, not knowing exactly what we were gonna do!

Monday, noon:

Playing around with shots of ridiculous dancing, and causing chaos. Shot till 4 when we lost the light, planned to meet next day to shoot more.

Tuesday, noon:

The idea had expanded EXPONENTIALLY. ;) Weren't sure we could get all the ambitious shots we had conceived, and with the amount of light that we had. Oh, but we did it! By the skin of our teeth. I don't even know what that means. (Let's make a collaboration having to do with skin on people's teeth. .....I'm sorry it's late.)

Tuesday, 11:59pm: Lock on final edit.

Wednesday, 2am: Uploading!

And, scene.

The music inspired this dance improv.... thanks for the obsession... obsession... tradition and rebelion... love it.;)

This is my really super great friend, Albina. She's the one responsible for my involvement with HitRECord. She introduced me to this place -- so yeah, she's awesome. :)
I'm working with windows movie here man and limited knowledge on this sort of thing, so no music -- ahaha. But that's why I have you guys, right?

JonMac dancing to hiphop song of mine. (just a quick edit for anyone to mix) I'm going to mix this with Method of Repetition next & some Dance Masquerade next! :)

So me and the gals from work thought we'd rock the dancing whilst simultaneously attempting to sell dvds with a load of broken down tills. The weekend was hectic, so we hitRECord.

This is piece one of two that Tarin shot of me dancing to dance dance repetition in front of the recroom. With these two videos and the silhouette one I hope to make a really cool hat dance video after Sundance, if anyone else wants to take a crack at it I would be honored.

I do some hat tricks and make funny faces... Woohoo~

i rise to your challenge, major thom!
now, what's next? ;)


(this is a rare chance to see the lesser spotted tori bird in her natural habitat. pyjamas! at least 90% of everything i make is done in the comfort of my pjs!)

A little clip of me doing some isolations with my red sphere. I thought this might be good to use with any collaborations which involve hitting the red button and maybe other promo projects.

for tori's "The Mix&Match Book."-collab

A second try for a bumper. (by the way, it could need some sounds, so if you like feel free :-))

These red things are actually candy (by the way, not very good one. they have a ginger taste (yeah, for candy, isn't that weird?) but at the same time they have too much sugar (they are filled with sugar, actually)....ahhh, and they smell awful.... :-) but still they're red ;-)

I tried to do here the "Sin City"-Effect as they call it in the Final Cut tutorials. if you look on google for it, you'll get pretty good tutorials on how to do this. or you could just ask here and I'll try to help you :-) I love that we can help each other on improving our skills - I have to say, that I'm really learning every day something new from the hitRECorders here, so for once - I might also be able to help :-)!

Stop motion vid i made a Few years ago.

I printed out all the frames of a flip i did. then I animated them on the desk top. :)

calling all illustrators, artists & doodlers, please can someone help me out?

this is what i need:

for the mix&match collab, i want the piece to start with a stop motion animation showing the depth of the book, then rotating up to a straight front on view of the book cover, followed by the opening of the cover. (this video shows roughly the idea with the angles i want.)

but i want each frame to be illustrated by hand.

it needs to be fairly simple, just black lines on a white background. but i think there would need to be 14-20 drawings altogether.

and please include the hand turning over the page too, in a simple black outline.

(the Mix&Match book needs to be the dimensions of the first green book, rather than the black sketchbook.)

anyone up for making this?

Finally, the codecs issue in capturing was solved. The month long endeavor of the live-action version of the Food Penguin is ready for REmixing, however I'm afraid perhaps 2 weeks too late ;)

I REleased it anyway if anyone wanted to use it. Might as well, my bro and I spent a lot of time and effort on it (mainly him).

I hope, Mr. Brewster, you don't take this as stepping on your toes in anyway nor think that I have perhaps similar silliness in the fact that you picked up the slack and shot a live-action Food Penguin yourself. Not only did you film a live-action Food Penguin in time to be REmixed, BUT you also REmixed all the REsources into an AWESOME "final" product for Mr. Morgan M. Morgansen. Kudos to you!

Again, if anyone wants to use this for any further REmixes, all are welcomed. If not, completely understandable. It took quite awhile to RElease this and there's already enough awesome Triple M mixes out there :)

FOR THE EDITORS WHO MIGHT USE THIS FOOTAGE FOR A REMIX:

Shot 1:

The appearance of the Food Penguin ("Morgan pinkified as the foodbringer apparated, penguin-dressed."). With the eye-brow raise this footage could last throughout (or most of) the description of him: "The gent was simply seeable as a skog – his downlooking headfront formed as if he ever had a facehole full of sour-yellows". There's another option for the description of his seeming "facehole full of sour-yellows", but I'll get to that later ;)

There's about 3-4 takes to work with.

Shot 2:

Triple M's POV. This shot is from Morgan's perspective as the Food Penguin takes his order. The shot last through the dialogue (low gibberish in terms of lip movement) beginning with "enquesting Morgan on his desirated eatplate", through "And how would you preferate your bunnybaby, sir; black, brown or bleedy?", through taking the Personette's order, through the holding in of the "snorgle-fit", through the drink order, and all the way to the wink (boomeranged gesture of the shutting of the solo see-globe).

There's about 3 takes to work with.

Shot 3:

The Personette's POV. All of the action and dialogue of shot 2, but from the Personette's POV.

I think only 2 takes to work with.

Shot 4:

When the Food Penguin notices the couple and their romantic going-ons and his exaggerated warm response. This part of the story:

"Through the hardclear of the eatroom, the formerly falsituous foodpenguin lifted his citrus lips at the passion-paired persons. How could a humanian fail to be emotated by such a celebratious encoupling?"

I think it's only 2 takes to work with, but they're long with plenty to use.

Shot 5:

An extra insert to potentially use for the same part of the story as the previous shot.

Shot 6:

This was the alternative shot for the intial description of the Food Penguin's seeming "Facefull of sour-yellows", basically his demeanor and specifically his sour-puss :)

A little bit of advice if you use this exaggerated close-up (which I've been referring to as the "Ren & Stimpy"/Spongebob close-up). I wouldn't cut away from Shot 1 (the Food Penguin's entrance) immediately to this, if you plan on even using Shot 6. I'd break it up with another shot. Just my opinion, but again, this is just a silly comical shot (well, it's all somewhat silly and comical I suppose) we shot for the heck of it. This particular shot may or may not be useful to you REmixers.

Also, though it's 2 takes, I do break throughout each take to try out different things, look up at the monitor to see if I'm in frame, laugh at something, take direction from my brother, etc. So watch out for that. They're not smooth takes; takes within takes you know. Especially at the end when I take the "penguin" metaphor literally; goofing around. My brother left that in because it amused him ;)

* * *

Well, sorry again it took me so long to RElease this, but I hope this footage is useful to someone. If not, it was definitely fun to make . Thanks for the fun project ;)

& this is Ana again for Tori's collab. We don't know if we can use our hands in the "head part", but we did :-p

Yep, this one is weird for me. Almost like hearing your own voice. And obviously I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted to do. Ah well. It was worth the red lipstick.

A record for the Documentary Collaboration? And the super Secret Collaboration

My rant on why I create art, or hitrecord!

it's connected to a body, i swear.

For Tori, from Stanley. :)

it looks even cooler from the inside

dan experiences the cool spinny light thing at Burning Man. My favorite video from the playa last year.

just a photo booth plug in I found, fun to mess around with.

Man appears on Mars, man is confused by his surroundings. Man encounters Gamma Waves.

For the mix&match collab. I have a lot more hats...do you need them? Maybe someone could animate them on other people's heads? Just an idea.

OK, I'm not John Wayne but I did my best... ( even if I had some problems with the guns and I had to do the scene thousands of time...)

Uhm...

Hula hoops and heartbeats.

Me getting silly in my pajamas and also getting funky in suspenders!

Here is my REC torso for Tori's collab

These are some raw unedited clips of my happy feet thrashing around because I'm not the greatest dancer! Just under two minutes of goofy legs per Tori's request! I hope its useful :)

Hope this is ok (it's weird releasing such amateur things when everything has suddenly become unbelievably awesome!)

Just my feet... so hopefully will match with something!

My sister said she "wanted to feel famous" so she let me RECord her legs for Tori's collab.

I can't dance... so here's my hands having a rave. (:

(I did it sort of improv, so some parts don't match up with the music as well as others, heh. But I think that most of it is useable!)

Remember 11/11
Remember when Joe told us about Sundance
Remember the Regularity is near, here, there…

Still reloading my old RECords. Thought this one would be totally appropriate as tomorrow is THE day.

This is a test a friend and I made one summer day/night in New York.
Let me know what you think.

no editing on this, so have fun with it! (it's very rough, i know.)

Wow, my face looks awkward, haha. Okay, this is going to be a little confusing: I recorded Ghandi's quote and added it to my remix of Pete's Challenge (http://hitrecord.org/records/33436) but I forgot to release it separately to include it as a resource since it's only like two seconds. Sorry about that.

children at play with some whimsical music.

Whilst babysitting my sister's children i pulled out my iphone and RECorded them then added some music from Where The Wild Things Are

Yeah, sorry I'm not a musician so I don't have any original sound and wasn't sure how to cut this without a song. When I learn how to use this site better I'll be able to pull from others so till then... thanks for the support.

And joe Yeah first time editing but I had the advantage of being around you and that crazy head of yours for 6 years now I hope some rubbed off.

Brother I can not thank you enough for what this community and you are doing to inspire the world (and me).

i want to scream HITRECORD in to the universe and see what comes back...

Thank you Mr. Moriarty

A moving snapshot in neon

One of my favorite neon signs is this old burger stand near my house. They have excellent fries. Plus, they're called Zesto's! I don't know what else you could possibly want in a restaurant.

3 seconds of a thought

Don't know if this is too short ... just wanted to throw it out there.

in the Castro theater, waiting for Amarcord to begin.

there's a myriad of reasons to love this theater. the mighty Wurlitzer is one of them.
while waiting, for Amarcord to begin, i thought i'd catch a bit of the organist doing his thing. lo and behold a young woman entered my frame. instead of pressing stop and putting the camera down i left the button in its state of redness (apparently unbeknownst to her). i liked her silhouette against the red curtain.

it's longer than a moving snapshot but i just couldn't help myself.

behold the neon. doing what it does best.

there are several great movie houses around this beautiful city. this, however, is my favorite. seeing a film here is a completely magical experience.

flipping from back to front through the photo journal collab. journal

some of the pages were skipped accidentally due to them sticking together. all the pages have been individually photographed and will be able to be viewed in their entirety... soon.

my contribution to the moving snapshot collaboration

I think this was the first video I took with my digital camera. I wanted to experiment with the video recording feature on it (not the best quality unfortunately). It was over 2 years ago during my stay in Korea.

moving snapshot, from the road, in the wintery wonderland of Utah

it could have been a white knuckled ride. thankfully i had my trusty camera to keep me calm. it was so beautiful i forgot that we were gliding on ice.

a rainy muni bus ride through the castro district of san francisco

long record. perhaps too long for a moving snap. just holding a shot on my ride home.
most of it's a few prime blocks in the castro. love colored lights through droplety windows.
was listening to t.rex.

This is my second Stop Motion Animation (Claymation) that I've done.

Ice skating for the Take a Walk collab

I haven't been ice skating since I was a wee thing, I can't even remember how long. Some friends decided to go on February 14, so I joined them.

My rollerblading skills came in handier than I expected, and I didn't fall down once.

tea lights :)

I recorded the movement of water from a ferry

I know water has been videotaped before but i was on a ferry today and decided to hit the "red" button. :)

Pencil animation time-lapse of a cityscape.

I made this stop-motion pencil animation for a friend who lives in Chicago. He makes movies about his hometown, so I figured i'd make one for mine.

Heidi at Zurich airport

Finally finally I managed to RECord Heidi at Zurich airport. She appears for 30 seconds and vanishes again. My commentary: "Endlich hab ich die Heidi. Geil!" (For the German speaking).
