This is a trailer for an upcoming time lapse of a trip I shot a few months ago going from London to Iceland. Thanks to Jessica Zollman and Michael O’Neal for collaborating on this one, and to IcelandAir for sending me and two fellow photographers on the trip so that I could make one of my weird time-lapses.

The final two minute video is getting close to done so I wanted to release a trailer. There are about 1,000 photos represented in this trailer, but I shot 52,000 photos total over six days for the full piece. I’ve spent about 230 hours editing and rendering, which makes it by far my most ambitious time lapse to date. If someone could tell me why I keep making these I’d appreciate it.

Speaking of that, it’s 100% my wacky photo project and not an ad for IcelandAir in any way shape or form. They covered our travel costs but we didn’t accept any payment - I simply make these because I like am addicted to making time-lapses, and they thought it was an interesting way to show a trip from London to Iceland. Also, I fucking love Iceland so I hope you go there.

Trailer for my experiment with crowd-sourced motion control in a time lapse. I laid out 63ft of tape and marked different days and times on it, and everyone at the conference pitched in and move a cart with the camera a little bit, and turned a big mechanical whell.

Sneak Peek
Sneak peek through the view finder at our little yeti buddy & his first long time-lapse on the chilly Thames river right in front of Big Ben. We took about 2,000 photos tonight, and things are looking mighty awesome!

SF to London in 24 Hours
Landed in London & finally made it to our hotel after 24 hours of travel! We started out in SF, landed in Seattle, headed to Iceland on the longest leg of our trip, then made our way over to London and finally our hotel by way of tube & taxi.  *whew*
We’re going through the test shots (all 6,194 photos & 31 videos) we took on the flights over and it turns out yetis are fantastic actors. Downside: he gets pretty grumpy when he’s hungry but, really, who doesn’t?!
Excited to share some teaser photos & (maybe) a teaser video with everyone soon.
