What a Honor !

Like always so many thing to learn from you.
Chris Duke 1 year ago

Well done, sir. Travel much? LOL I liked the tilt-shift footage as well. That's a lot of footage to compile over what appeared to be several years. Good job as always!

...a long story...
Paul Doffman 1 year ago

Epic! did you find yourself asking to change rooms all year to get the best view?
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

just a couple of times!
Rowan Sims 1 year ago

Cool. Just out of curiosity, Philip, when do you sleep?
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

i sleep quite a lot actually!

Epic edit! Do u always ask for the room with best views? :) They are great!
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

i try to...sometimes the shitty views work well too..
www.carlpendle.com 1 year ago

excellent - good job. Every time I do a time-lapse FCP hates my QT files or is very slow. Any ideas why?
Irrum 1 year ago

Encode to Pro Res that should help.
www.carlpendle.com 1 year ago

Thanks Irrum. Yes that what I've been doing but wasn't sure if that would degrade the footage at all.
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

what is your workflow Carl? Have you followed my tutorial on my education section of my site?
Paul Wood 1 year ago

oh yes, liking this very much indeed...! Epic :)
Expedition Films 1 year ago

Nice work - love the way the music was synched to the pictures.
DariuszMajewski 1 year ago

Greate! I would also like to visit these places :)
Dave Hallett 1 year ago

Wow you are one extremely well travelled man. Really enjoyed the variation, and interesting to see some views full of people, and others of vast landscapes or cityscapes.

I'm guessing you cheated on some because the view wasn't actually that great at all, but it would have been brilliant had you ended up with a timelapse of say a wall across the street? Were there any such views?
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

i did put in the parking meter shot! i did once get a brick wall but asked to room, more for the lack of light than anything!
Dave Hallett 1 year ago

Hehe. Fair play. The parking meter is indeed a great shot to keep in the edit. The video is a great snapshot of what I imagine was a very exciting year. Wish you all the best for 2011.
Petr Vyšohlíd 1 year ago

Briliant work man ! ;)
Ash Kelleher 1 year ago

Great!
Simon Beart 1 year ago

Not just liked it - Loved it ! - I look forward to learning more on mastering twilight, aperture and iso compensation as well as flickering work arounds .. you seem to have enough experience doing it any chance we can do a tutorial together whilst you're in Melbourne. Ill be a at your workshop whilst you're here.
Also the audio works beautifully, obviously... I might have liked to have heard a little ambient from the specific locations blended in there as well.. I dare to add.. ;)
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

cheers Simon, will talk about Timelapse in melbourne. I may add some foley. This is the first edit, i always tweak a lot!
Daniela Petkovic 1 year ago

The view for Las Vegas Hotel was the Wynn right?....My wife and I had the exact same view when we spent our honeymoon travelling around USA. Lush Hotel!!!

Lush work too!
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

my experience at the Wynn was not entirely pleasant as I got i got very sick when I was there...view was great there though! This year at NAB i have a room with a balcony looking down the strip at MGM!
Patrick Zadrobilek 1 year ago

Very nicely done! So actually you traveled a bit around aren't you? ;-) Great sense for the right music too!
Sinan İpek 1 year ago

The tehnique may be much used and old cliche. Still you can apply it creatively and in some innovative ways. This is like a course "how to apply old-much-used-techniques in new and innovative ways." (sorry for my English.)

Can't wait to do a timelapse tomorrow of the Brisbane river from my hostel now. Loved it

Peter Barossi 1 year ago

Fantastic. You always impress me with your choice of music.
Andrew Reid 1 year ago

Chicago was one of my favourites in there around 5.25... And the whole thing went well to the music, the right timelapse at the right time... great work Phil!!
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

Loads more of Chicago in my Toronto Falls piece that i lifted this from! cheers mr reid.

Fun to watch! The palms in Palms Springs seem to be conducting the orchestra. 1:18

Another great piece!

Thank you Philip!
Wouter van der Wal 1 year ago

There was some dust on your sensor at 4:30. I hope you have removed it. Otherwise it woul ruin you next vid's too.
Furthermore it is a nice video. Music is well used for the composition.
Philip Bloom 1 year ago

yes there was lot of dust on it, shot at around F11 so it showed everything on the wide angle. I will clean up the image in post some more probably, hid a lot more with the Tilt shift in Magic Bullet

i usually am not too impressed with timelapses anymore, but this one definitely stands out. love the way it was edited, shot, and the music is awesome. i think my favorite shot was Toronto, Canada near the beginning.
Givot 1 year ago

awesome to look back and see all the amazing places you have traveled. Who would have thought that the first floor in Manhattan Beach at 5:15 would turn out so cool.
Matthew Brown (Matty Brown) 1 year ago

Maybe you should come to the USA sometime, hehe. ;)
Charlie Simon 1 year ago

You haven't seen much this year have you! No but seriously, I love the time lapse in Chicago with the building room lights flashing on and off, awesome. Nice one man!
Bukanza 1 year ago

The time lapse footage was great (as expected) but I was particularly impressed by the editing. Each shot had a specific mood that fit the music quite well. Bravo, sir.

Beautiful! Your timelapses are definitely some of my favorite. Glad I get to see them all in one video.

Can't wait until I figure out the damn gh2 and the bad battery life, so I can finally complete ONE star timelapse. Should have stuck with Canon :D

Richard Gluck 1 year ago

nice collection of timelapses Philip. your position offers you a unique opportunity to photograph so many incredible and interesting places.

you could write a book too called, "the art of hotel timelapses."

haha, which would make recommendations on hotels based on 1.) there views 2.) there room service and 3.) wether or not they have a pool/spa.

now that's a book i'd like to have in my library, along with dslr cinema. of course. ;) cheers Bloom.

Dave Morrison 1 year ago

Outstanding work, Phillip. I live in St. Petersburg and it was great to see you do such a nice job with our lovely thunderstorms! Wish I had known you were here as I would have loved to buy you a pint. Looks like you were staying at Eckerd College, no?
