St. Paul Sunset.
8 months ago
Yesterday we had a few snow flurries, which for some Minnesotans is like a precipitous wake-up alarm (without the benefit of a 4 month snooze). Therefor, I decided I'd better get some footage before the snow makes a beautiful mess of things. This is a fun view of St. Paul, since you can see the state capitol to the far right, with the curvaceous Mississippi at front and center. There's also plenty of cars, trains, boats and planes cruising around. I would have filmed for longer (that tugboat was just getting started!), but it was freezing cold, and my wife had hot cider waiting at home... mmmm!
The music is "Stars" by musical uber-genius, Ulrich Schnauss. I tried to sync the flashing First Bank sign to the rhythm, but it still seems a little off. It also appears that there are some slowing blinking street lights, dancing away, oblivious to the beat. (why do I feel such affinity to those uncoordinated street lights?)

Actually, I'm sorry... none of that is true (except the first sentence).
Wait... then how did the leaves blow off in the first place?? I'm so confused!
makes me miss mn.
Hey, either way, thanks for commenting!
i'm going to ask that you make a clip of the snow for me. i just moved from duluth this summer, and have a feeling i'm going to miss it.
or mr. it.
i'd like to embed it in a blog.
you're being referenced. i'll take it out if you want though.
Thanks for wanting to share this!
you rock my face.
in too many ways to list. had to watch it over and over again.
Hot cider sounds absolutely excellent right now...
Great video, btw.
I agree- Schnauss is truly brilliant! I actually sent him an email asking if it was okay that I use his song, and he was totally cool about it. After he watched the video, he sent me a follow-up email which included some kind words. What a great guy, huh? It definitely made my week!
The interval was at 2fps, with each frame being exposed for .49 seconds. This footage is about 55 minutes worth of capture (5:20-6:15pm).
When we do an offline screening, Id really like to play this video.
There are lotsa awesome photos on Flickr, but this provides a 3-dimensional representation.
You are like some sort of genius!
Good job!
Wonderful
Beautiful
Like, totally awesome Dude!
An HD camera belongs in your hands.
btw, how did u control exposure? it was fixed all the time, or automatic, or u slightly changed it during shooting?
Thanks for referencing it on your website. I have quite a bit of new material I'll be uploading soon. Hopefully it will be worth your viewing!
(sorry for the delayed reply, I didn't see this question until just now!)
