Craig Gingell Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I remember as a kid being fascinated by the short films showing London to Brighton in three minutes by train. Using a technique called time-lapse the train would head off at great speed darting and weaving through the stations before arriving at its destination in record time.Last year on the 10CR with James Carruthers and Andrew Dawson we talked about how cool it would be to produce a time-lapse of an event such as the RBRR or 10CR.I set about reading up how to do it. I'm no camera expert, but I am fascinated by photography. Here's our first instalment from The Plough to Blyth Services. There's two versions - the quick and easy download -http://www.vimeo.com/1907613and the mega cool HD version -http://www.vimeo.com/1913782(depending on your internet connection it may be best to let the video fully download first before playing it)I'd like to thank -My co-driver Mark Bland for all his patience over 48 hours changing/charging battery packs, swapping and downloading memory cards!Ellis Stokes for lending me his invertor when we thought ours had packed up (sorry for melting the plug Ellis!)Mark's wife Shirley turning out at Pimperne with some more memory as we thought we were going to run out!James for loads of technical assistance!More later...Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Cool. I'd go for The Byrds "Mr Tambourine Man" ... nice and short and kind of suits the RBRR I reckon.Or something a bit Quadrophenia ... I think you can figure out why ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
