24 hours in 4 minutes – Blogathon the Movie

// August 2nd, 2006 // Personal, Tech

Blogathon 2006Those of you who were around during the ‘thon would no doubt have enjoyed giggling at the ever present webcam photos.

Indeed I think Dafyd, busted me early in the morning with one shot :-)

What you may not have realised is that I kept an archive of every shot – 1 per minute for almost the whole 24 hours. So I’ve got a load of still images, a love for quick and dirty stop motion and a couple of hours on my hands … hmm …

Presenting, for your viewing pleasure:

Blogathon THE MOVIE!!!

Update: as this has been kindly linked from the main Blogathon site I figured it was worth sticking on YouTube to ensure you use their bandwidth instead of mine.

Please view the video HERE!!!

Alternatively it’s available in three sizes (just like those cool trailers from the Apple site):

Enjoy guys and gals and remember to turn those speakers on and UP!

    That was great! Thanks for sharing. I’m glad there’s no record of my blogathon webcam anywhere!

  9. Rob says:

    Novac, the clouds were added as I was messing around with the webcam overlay features. I wanted to see if I could put a black cloud over my head but couldn’t get the background right.

    BB, Jaimie, Caryn and LaDonna – thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
