Recap

No doubt by now you’ve already heard about and/or seen photos of the world-record breaking Imperial Star Destroyer build at BrickFest PDX last weekend...



...but there’s something that only BrickFest PDX attendees have seen so far:


The Time-lapse Video

The following are two versions of a 1,664-frame time-lapse sequence taken between 11:02am and 12:23pm on Saturday, February 14, 2004. The first version is DVD resolution and the second one is 4x DVD resolution.
  • Plenty Big (768x512, 119.8 MB, MPEG video, 00:01:12)
  • Insanely Huge (1536x1024, 336.7 MB, MPEG video, 00:01:12) (see warning below)
Frames were shot with a 6.3 megapixel digital SLR camera mounted on a tripod and set to the lowest resolution setting (1536x1024). Exposure time was 1 second at f/11 with a 2 second gap between exposures.

Warning: The “insanely huge” version is far more beautiful and detailed than anything you will ever see at DVD resolution, but it requires mad CPU horsepower and a very large screen. Consequently, I recommend not downloading the huge version unless you are able to view it on an Apple Cinema Display and a G5 processor or equivalent. The “plenty big” version is still plenty nice, of course.

See if you can count:
  • How many people are on the ISD building team.
  • How many camera flashes you see during the build.
  • How many times the three large gray engine wheels switch tables.
  • How many times Ted Michon (curly hair, far corner) sips his coffee.
  • How many times Todd Thuma (green polo tee) enters and exits the room.
Congratulations to the team and my apologies that the rightmost table isn’t visible in the timelapse video (I didn’t realize that that table was going to be used when I was setting up).


The Aftermath

On Sunday, the ISD was tossed from 10 feet up in the air by Scott Lyttle, Nik Pieniazek, and Gary McIntyre. It smashed gloriously into thousands of bits.

Todd- Thanks for posting this (and taking the pictures and processing them and ...) so we can share it with those who could not attend. -Ted (20 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
