For the Perseid meteor shower this year I shot mostly short star trails sequences, which make short time-lapse movies, so I added footage I hadn’t yet shown from 2010 and 2011 and set it all to the amazing “While The Sun Was Sleeping” by Life Audience.
If I remember correctly, the first 8 clips are form the meteor shower, then I added various clips to fill out the time of the song. I may have shown some of the clips before, but setting them to music is new for me. I’m working on several more concepts and songs; I’m sure they’ll get better and better as I develop experience on the post-production side.
One of the reasons I wanted to highlight this video on my blog is that in early December I’ll be pursuing night images in Death Valley during the Geminid meteor shower next month, and I’m going to invite people to join me in a workshop. In a rare coincidence, the new moon will occur very close to the peak of the shower, so we’ll enjoy unusually good conditions for photographing the event. I’m finalizing the itinerary so I can make a separate post on that trip shortly.
