GH1 Driving Time Lapse

[dvbrother]

Hey all. I bought a special mount so I can attach my GH1 to the windshield or hood of my car. I tested it out on my drive to work the other day. With slow shutter speed and compressing the time in post, it looks like I'm going 200 miles an hour!

Check it out here:

I shot some interesting stuff at a boxing ring using a c-mount lens off an old Bolex, but I've been too busy to edit it. That will be next.

Awesome! Hope the local cops don't see that

Looking forward to the boxing ring stuff, sounds promising.

Cool!

You should add a few shots of you changing gears (if it's a manual) at normal speed, your sped up shots would look even more real

Unfortunately the car is an automatic, but I could insert a shot of me at the wheel with an evil grin and/or making the gear shift sound effects with my voice, "Bwuuunnn, bwuuuunnnn, bwuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnn!"

Fun.

But I had a shed load of mud on the Vimeo clip. Is that on the raw footage too??

Nope. The raw footage is clean. I uploaded to Vimeo in SD (I'm saving my weekly HD clip for something else), so what you're seeing are the H.264 compression artifacts.
