Multimedia: Mackey Arena Time Lapse

Here's the time-lapse from last Wednesday's Purdue basketball game against Penn State, for those who haven't seen it:



This project was a collaborative effort between me and Andy Hancock. The time lapse's various segments were photographed throughout the day and into the evening by myself and Andy, beginning several hours before the game and continuing until an hour or so afterwards.  Several of the shots in the video come from remote cameras (one of Andy's specialties), and the rest were photographed by myself and Andy throughout the game. Then came post-production, which like any other video or multimedia project, was the the most time consuming component of the the process. It took roughly 15 hours to build and edit the various time lapses in Final Cut Pro, and in adherence to Murphy's Law, trying to acquire licensed music that fits the final video didn't end up being a particularly easy process for us. Regardless, I think the final product came out very well, especially considering a lot of this was experimentation and very little editing time was available.  I hope you all enjoy it!

Multimedia: Oh, The Weather Outside...

We had a rather nasty snowstorm blow through Purdue last week, right as final exams began. The snowfall wasn't especially heavy, but the 40+mph wind gusts made the conditions rather extreme. I grabbed my camera and wandered around campus and shot some footage and stills, and then cut together this short video. Hopefully you enjoy it. Happy Holidays!

1 Day in 1 Minute

Yesterday I travelled to Urbana-Champagne to cover Purdue's football game against Illinois. Illinois waxed Purdue, but on the bright side, I made some good pictures (to come later), as well as this short video, which sums up my day in about a minute:
