Lately, I've been bringing my still camera to video productions I'm working on to snap a few photos during downtime (who am I kidding, I take my still camera everywhere!). In this case, I just put my Nikon on a tripod and had it shoot a picture every thirty seconds. Then I took those stills (about 700 of them) and animated them into a sequence and resized for HD (1280x720) in Final Cut -- and there you have it: A behind-the-scenes look at a production for the local YMCA featuring an Arri light set-up, a green screen key effect and a parade of wonderful North Shore talent all in about a minute.
