Once again I'm posting from what I've been calling
"The All Saints Sessions".
The All Saints Sessions are a hand full of old recordings
(some Audio, some video) captured in the 1990's at All Saint Anglican Church in Niagara Falls.
I have previously posted Audio from Lessons & Carols & Christmas Eve Services. Now it's time for video of the 1993 Easter Morning Celebration.
This is a 25 year old video taken with a consumer camcorder & recorded on a magnetic tape that sat in a box for about 15 years before being digitized. I've done some light colour correction & a bit of work to boost the audio. But, for the most part I've left it looking & sounding like a home video from 25 years ago. A few edits have been made to remove problems with tape and so on but, it's mostly the same as it was when it was shot.
The video has been divided it into smaller pieces for easy posting.
I have an idea that there could possibly be an additional
recording hiding somewhere. If any more turn up I add them to the collection. For now all the parts I have of the All Saints Sessions are here on the blog.
The Mega-Lapse Project, sounds impressive, but it's just what I called it to distinguish it from other time lapses I was working on.
The various pieces (time lapses, footage & hyperlapse) where shot from November 2013 to May 2014. After preparing the individual lapses & bringing them into one "mega" project & getting started, I soon got side tracked by more urgent projects.
So, everything sat on a hard drive & sat & was basically ignored for a long time.
Until this spring when I came across the project & opening it up. All the files where there and the time lines where all in place & all the different lapses worked fine. They just needed assembling and a bit of finishing.
"I've come this far, I can finish it off quick" was my thought. Well, it wasn't exactly quick but, it is done & (at least to me) it doesn't look too bad.
BTS
In the mega project I also found some BTS (Behind The Scenes) footage. Once again "waste not, want not". I put the together to go with the main project. The BTS was mostly shot in one day, One windy, snowy afternoon. First I went out with a camera wrapped in plastic and put the camera & tripod where it could 'watch' me make the trip to the track to shoot that day's part of the hyperlapse (moving timelapse). once it was set & focused & running, I trudged back to the building, got the camera & tripod I was using for the taking pictures (5 different locations) each day, all winter. With the standard tripod & camera I set out to get the days shots shooting bits of live action along the way.
More to Come
I have other unfinished projects that range from a folder full of footage to others that where nearing completion before they put aside. I just might take a few,finish them off and post them.
New project sometime seem a bit more attracting, they're well, new and exciting. But, I've never brought a project to completion without learning something, usually a lot of somethings,
So, when I have a bit or extra time or need a break from my current projects I'll take a look at an older project & see what I can learn.
Spring Flowers around Niagara Falls. It seems like there's so much more to photograph when the seasons change. It's probably more likely that there are different things, not more things to photograph. Either way a new season usually inspires me to get out of a rut & change subjects.
A nice cluster of spring flowers beside a house. Many houses in the older part of town have small , mostly forgotten clusters of flowers that return each spring & are then forgotten until next year.
