I’ve been taking a lot of photos of LEGO people and their creations over the past 18 months, and right after I got back from NWBrickCon 2003, I thought it would be fun to see what all those photos looked like in an ultra-fast chronological photo montage ripping by at 24 frames per second. The result was a 9-minute “movie”:
  • Small (120x120, 49.7 MB, MPEG video, 00:09:05)
  • Medium (240x240, 145.2 MB, MPEG video, 00:09:05)
  • Large (480x480, 410.7 MB, MPEG video, 00:09:05)
If you want to see the photos at a slower pace, load the large version into Apple’s QuickTime player and use the right and left arrow keys to go through the images. (Hope you have fast net connection. :-)

Somewhere in the middle of the montage are two time-lapse sequences taken during the PNLTC show last April at the Oregon Convention Center. These sequences can be viewed separately -- at high-quality wide-screen DVD resolution -- in the following two files:
  • Neverending Crowd (768x320, 66.7 MB, QuickTime video, 00:02:22)
    Tens of thousands of people showed up to view the PNLTC layout. If it weren’t for free food and drinks from Starbucks, everyone in PNLTC would have passed out from exhaustion and dehydration (except Steve Barile, who was busy causing train wrecks). This is a 2,589-frame time-lapse sequence taken between 12:45pm and 4:21pm on Saturday, April 18, 2003. See if you can find Jon Rasmussen’s infamous “Teriyaki Shuffle” (hint: it’s in the first 10 seconds).
  • Teardown (768x432, 110.0 MB, QuickTime video, 00:01:31)
    Teardown of everything took only 90 minutes. This is a 1,656-frame time-lapse sequence taken between 9:12pm and 11:30pm on Sunday, April 19, 2003. My favorite parts are the tables coming apart, the carts filling up, and the banner coming down. Incidentally, this video proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jeremy Rear is indeed bionic.

(...) Very slick! Take care, Gary (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Arrrgh. Brain hurts. VERY cool though, don't know if it's intentional or not but the "movie" freezes on certain frames causing a very interesting effect. (...) Have still to do that, but I will. (...) I do, you (or something along the way) (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

Todd, Out of curiosity, what (if any) software do you use to manage all your photos? I have Adobe Album 2.0 on my XP box. I'm satisfied with it. But I'm still not sure if it is up to snuff for managing the 10,000 + photos I have taken of my family. (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

Great! What software did you use for the montage? I've been looking to do a clip from pictures too, not anything like that, but still the same process. My webcam doesn't offer good enough quility images... Thx Terry (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Todd- This collection of photos is AWESOME. The four of us spent hours just skimming through for a first look. We are all looking forward to viewing a lot of it frame by frame. A wonderful piece of work and another great gift to the community. (You (...) (21 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Todd- Can you (or someone else) suggest an application to view the montage at a slower rate (like 1 fps)? I'd like to set up the montage at a show for visitors to see. -Ted (21 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
