hmm. tonight i really wanted to make something, and get it uploaded quick (like a timed challenge). without a camera to film on i didn't have many options... so, i decided to put a little life into this photo: flickr.com/photos/matthewlight/1355553115/

the music used is a tiny excerpt from '9 Beet Stretch', which is Beethoven's 9th symphony stretched out to last 24hrs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_Beet_Stretch

UPDATE: replaced by an HD version- the original looked quite blurred. The old ending isn't there anymore, so most of the comments dont make much sense.

    I still don't get how you do these. They're really great and you seem to have a system down to add life to your photos.

    Could you pretty please record a screen capture of your process and post it up? I'm a visual learner and I've seen that you've written some instructions before, but I really want to see you make one of these.

    Thanks! Keep up the great work.

    thank you. i'll try to get a screen capture done, would probably help me too as i think there are probably better techniques i could use.

    Ditto and
    Ditto ?
  • sanddunesandsea 2 years ago
    nope, i dont have after effect. I just used photoshop and a tiny bit of imovie. i could have probably done everything in after effect though, i think i'm going to have to try and find myself a copy of it.

    The stylized smoke makes the ugly industrialism kind of beautiful.
  • sanddunesandsea 2 years ago
    at night, when this place is lit up, you cant really make out what it is. you can be fooled into thinking it's beautiful when that happens too.

    no i love the ending! i mean ya it sorta doesnt fit but it works. nice surprise.
  • brandon schaaf 2 years ago
    I love the ending too, I dont know why but it was good and it looked neat. this was really cool.
  • sanddunesandsea 2 years ago
    thanks, yeah i like it. it was in 'the bank' so to speak- a little flash animation i was going to add to a possible project. but i couldn't wait and just used it regardless to if it fitted the theme or not.

    i really Really like it, up to the ending. Personally i really like the depressing look and the coloured beams just dont do it for me ;). But thats alright i could never have done it better myself :)
  • sanddunesandsea 2 years ago
    i know exactly what you mean, if i did it again that probably would've been left out. thanks for the constructive criticism, it's appreciated
