13. 5x5 - Commute
9 months ago
A minute for the 365minutes project. In this minute, I travel my 40 minute commute to work and stop for gas. It was kinda foggy this morning - looks dreamy.

vimeo.com/three65minutes

By the way, a 40 minute commute represents more data than will fit on a 4GB SD card. I ran out of room about 1.5 miles from my office. Having to go to the stupid gas station cost me almost 5 minutes!

    If only you could really make it in 60 seconds or less!

    Cruising in the fast lane! Nice video!

    On that picture (-->) I saw you took it with an iPhone...did you crop it or something? My iPhone photos seem to be a lot more narrow?
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    Yep, cropped in iPhoto before upload.

    laughing at myself right now, cause you know what? after i read "40 minutes" i was asking myself how much data that would be ... and then i was about to ask you and scrolled down... to READ the next paragraph :)))
    i only have 1GB to work with at a max. but i dont have pro equipment anyways
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    The camera came with a 4GB card, thank goodness. HD is heavy on the bits :)

    Love the sync at 00:19.
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    Thanks Lance, I loved it too - was totally unplanned... it just worked out that way.
  • Lance 7 months ago
    Yeah, I find that happening the more that I edit. I mean, the whole reason behind filmmaking is to learn to see something more to reality than what otherwise might have been present, but it never ceases to amaze me (just how beautifully things fit together--especially when I get out of the way).

    Well said.

    thats a long drive!
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    So long, it wouldn't fit on a 4GB card!

    I bought a 16GB card on Ebay for my SD1. Works nicely and holds about 160 minutes. I paid 75 bucks for it. Worth it!!
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    A larger capacity card is definitely on my list... I need more storage for my system first. I work on a MacBook Pro and usually only have about 6-8GB of space to work with... HD is BIG.

    Hey there!
    Do you edit on FCP? If so, can you give me a tip on how you export your vids for vimeo?
    Appreciated!

  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    Generally, I use iMovie 08 - it's just so easy. On this one I exported XML to FCE to edit the speed. Then, just sent it back to iMovie for export.

    Nice video, amazing when you think of how much of our lives are spent in commuting to work.
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    Thanks, Joe... yeah, much too much time spent in the car.

    Former SoCal'er here... moved to Chicato in '95. I never thought I'd miss gridlock on the 405 but wow, this video makes me nostalgic!
  • Eric Anderson 7 months ago
    Glad I could tempt you with the taste of traffic nightmares gone by... socal is still wonderful otherwise.

    At you remarkable roads, not that in Russia))
  • Eric Anderson 6 months ago
    Yes, we love our roads so much we spend hours in our cars everyday. yuck.
  • Mariya Kozlova 6 months ago
    What means "yuck"?
  • Eric Anderson 6 months ago
    меньше, чем идеальной ситуации
  • Eric Anderson 6 months ago
    I used Google Translate for that last entry. Basically, "yuck" refers to a "less than ideal situation"
  • Eric Anderson 6 months ago
    or, something that tastes bad
  • Mariya Kozlova 6 months ago
    hahaha, I understand))It is exact))) But I still like speed of film and music))) Good work))

    Now I understand, what strange my comments
  • Eric Anderson 6 months ago
    I love it... your comments bring an "International flare" to my video :)

    Very nice Eric. Love the colors, and that image-sequence at the the first 5 seconds is awsome!
  • Eric Anderson 6 months ago
    Thank you for your comment Thijs. Nice of you to say.

    What a great idea! Now I want to record my commute and condense it down to 60 seconds! :-) Added to the 60 second spot channel.
