WOW, that was amazing Eric !!! I loved it, some absolutely awesome shots. Well done, look forward to more videos from you here on Vimeo :) Thanks also for adding it to my 'Japan' Group :D

Thanks and no problem :)

Good idea, to show photos! Great shots! But after the first 2 minutes. I had to look away, tiring for my eyes ... :) Thank you! Zofia

Fantastic.

great stuff.

Thanks for the positive comments. Zofiafotoeule, some people I showed it to joked that they were getting dizzy or something like that so you're not alone! After cutting and chopping at it for a couple hours i was feeling a little drained as well. But most of the feedback has been positive despite this! :)

The images are still fascinating! In flicr I could watch without stress! Wow! Thanks, Eric! Zofia:)

I <3 Japan

This is awesome! Is there a software which does this, stitching images together to a video?

Most video editing software does it, I used vegas in this case.

Love it! Very creative, and music fits perfect, great job!

wow

gorgeous photography, so crisp and vibrant. Maybe a little too over saturated in parts. What did you use to shoot it with?

Pentax k20d

Amazing, love it.

loved it!

Amazing! But kinda border-line seizure educing at that pace + length.

ohmigosh that was great...but i see everything in pulse now....

BRAVO

BEAUTIFUL! what a wonderful adventure you two both had! definetely puts smiles on my face :) :) :)

かっこいい！ Pretty freakin' cool. From a denizen of the city that you captured so interestingly...

so cool!

What a great video capturing every moment of your trip! I will definitely remember this video on my next trip to.. hmm.. where? all over the world.. when?.. sigh.. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job !

nice tokyo

great idea! loved every second

Excellent. Really. Kin. Great.

I've seen it 5 times! love it

i like it! with many great pictures!

awesome!

i have never seen anything like this. talk about cramming that into my brain. i feel like i was there. great work. can you explain the work flow? how did you put all that together? also, are all the pictures up for an equal amount of time? how many total pics? what camera, ect.

We never went there with the plan to do this, but one night we were looking at the pictures so far. We held down the button to get through the pictures faster and we noticed it looked fairly cool. I figured it would be a good idea to make a video this way. I used lightroom to crop and process all the images (its good at doing batch stuff), Métamorphose to rename the exported files into a numbered sequence, sony vegas to cut to music, then virtual dub to compress and scale. The video is running at 6 frames a second. I originally took 3340 pictures, but doing the math there should be about 2760 images in the video. The camera was a pentax k20d and I brought an external hard drive to save what ended up being 46 gigs in raw files.

im working on a similar idea now, inspired by your video, and using the same music, actually... when you went into sony vegas, was there a way to cut each picture down to the 6 frames a second? or was it exported? or was it jsut very long and tedious like its being for me? :)

so sweet

wow you must be exhusted! very well done..... :o)

fantastic!

superbulous!

WWhhhhaattt that was epic. eeeppppiiiccc

that was awesome, dude! that totally just reassured me that as soon as i get the money i'm taking a trip there. haha

I would like to go to Japan before I have a seizure =p

Beautiful.

Great work pal! Pure inspiration and i've always wanted to visit Japan!

who . .pretty nice shots there. the stye reminds e a bit of that thing from the island. nice

very special!!! but after 3 minutes it was hardcore for my eyes. 8-) greetings from Germany! All the best for 2009 to you & your beautiful girlfriend!

Wow wow wow!

amazing, so epic.

nice work. there was a film maker back in the '70s who made this type of film. I forget the name, but the films showed short shots along some theme like u.s. presedents, or patriotic symbols. It was used on tv for awhile. You have to relax and see it pass by in the blur of non-concentration. Very relaxing.

great comment, ive seen one of his films before, but Jen knows the name: Chris Marker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WXMp5BHZ_o
