M&A! Here is a project that I have put my blood, sweat and tears into. My summer timelapse reel. Really stoked on how this turned out, and I hope you all are too. Enjoy.

Over the course of the summer of 2011, I traveled thousands of miles by car, plane, bike, and foot to create the most spectacular time-lapses I could. Tens of thousands of photographs were taken to create this final product. These are some of my favorite time-lapses that I shot, but only account for around a quarter of the time-lapses I shot over the course of the summer. Please enjoy the end product that I have created through countless hours of work. Thanks for watching!

Overall some really dope shots! Some of my favorite shots where the stars, the river, and the buildings at night! Good job man!
 
no thanks for my comment huh? well then.... I thought the rest of it was pretty plain. you sure did take a bunch of photos and connect them though.
 
Damn, I wish I could make my timelapses turn out cool like that. Really great work and great scenes.

The only thing I would really suggest for the next time you start shooting is focus a little more on composition. Practice rule of thirds and see things not for what they are, but for the geometric features they have. That's about all I know, talk to Landis for an in-depth look at composition
 
okay thanks. i tried to have some subtle rule of thirds on some shots but im going to try to work on symmetry a little bit
 
That was sick. I'm being super nitpicky when I say this, because they were all great time lapses, but I think just a couple of the ones of mostly clouds were just barely too fast. Where the idea was to watch the clouds form and change shape (I assume), I feel like one or two of them the clouds kinda felt like they were jumping around.

Other than that (and really including that -- it's a tiny thing), incredible work. The sun going down over the bay and city was great, and I loved just about every shot.
 
Wow, that was really cool.

Was the project at all work related? Or was it just something you wanted to do for yourself?

Awesome job!
 
I traveled throughout the colorado mountains for this, but i went on a college trip with my family to boston, NH, vermont, and then we went from there to bermuda for a couple days.
 
That was really awesome man I enjoyed it. I do think you probably could've done a little more with the color, but besides that it was great.
 
excellent work man. i loved the shots of the clouds over the mountains. i just made a summer timelapse vid myself, i know how much work it takes!
 
Hey man that looks reallly good. I liked the vibe of it. But beware, Jaimie the timelapse nazi might come in here and rain on your parade!
