April miniGTG in Richmond
A small group of us met up down at Tisha McUstions Studio down in Richmond, VA last Friday to just have some laughs and hang out. Names have been omitted to protect the seemingly innocent...
So what happens when you get 7 photographers in a studio designed for child portature? THIS ----->


Note: I'm not really a fan of that song...but it's sort of an inside joke...and that's my doppleganger wearing the wings...not me...

For anyone who stumbles across this "video", I wanted to explain exactly what you're looking at. This was not shot with a video camera or even a camera that has video capabilities! This was about 1600 photos taken with the Nikon D3 DSLR. This camera takes full resolution (12 megapixel) still photos at 9 frames per second. These photos were exported as a video file using Quicktime Pro's Image Sequence capability at 10 frames per second to make it move through a little faster than realtime. This video file was then imported into a video editing application for adding the text and background music. This kind of technique is called stop-motion or time-lapse animation, and is usually used for things like claymation movies (like "Year Without a Santa Clause" or "A Nightmare Before Christmas") or for nature documentaries such as Planet Earth where they take photos of a plant each day for months at a time. This kind of photography isn't often used for taking pictures of people, but I think it's pretty cool!
