Calgary To Baldy.

Whoa, where have the last few months gone. I have been keeping busy out at the Banff Centre for the Arts where I got a work study position till the end of September. I thought I might put up this video that I took just before Christmas of my trip down to my uncles cabin in BC. More info after the video.



A trip of ~750 kms, roughly 9 hours of driving, presented as a 30 minute timelapse. My trip went through through Banff National park, The Kicking Horse and Rogers Pass, then down through the Okanogan Valley to Oliver, where I turn off and head up Mt Baldy to my uncles cabin. The approximate route map is here. Oh, and in case you are curious as to where you are, heres a list of times that should help you out.

Banff and Back

This is a time lapse I did of a drive from Calgary to Banff, and back. I had to go out there for an interview at the Banff Centre, so I thought I should get a project out of it too. The set up is a webcam mounted to my rear-view mirror taking shots every second and saving them to a laptop. I ended up with 11,500 frames total, about 1.8 gigs of raw data since the originals are 1600x1200. I used VirtualDub to stitch them all together.



Oh, and the interview went well, I start in January doing a studio work study. Some things are just worth the drive.
