A great example of twisting a "limitation" (flickr 90 sec video limit) on it's ear, creating something of great depth within that framework

Loved it! Great Job!

/me thinks it would make a most excellent Second Life TV commercial

Thanx so much for the awesome comments. =o)

Here's how I did it:

* I had 500+ photos from my Second Life from late last year. (I'm currently uploading them individually to Flickr if you want any in higher-rez.)

* I dragged and dropped the whole folder into Sony Vegas, my fave video editor. It allows you to specify a default duration for each static event, in this case 0.100 seconds. The only somewhat tricky editing parts were getting the images to work with the rhythm, as I wanted a definite flow.

* I was listening to the song at the same time. It's Josh Harris' remix of Alanis Morrissette's "Underneath" — her new album, BTW, is produced by Guy Sigsworth and Andy Page, so there's a lot of lush electronic texturing. So I decided to casually drop it in… when I was feeling a RUSH.

EVERY PICTURE HAS A STORY AND SO…

@NeoBokrug: Oh, that's too kewl! I'm glad I captured those and you spotted them! Hey, that's why I take pictures.

@Eve: I was actually using that monkey ice cream truck for WindLight testing months ago; which is why there are 3 shots of it with slightly different daylight settings.

@QueenKellee: I'm glad you mentioned that, because I feel the same way. I'm very keen about time-lapse.
