Koya Moments / An Edinburgh time lapse movie

Back


Philip Glass
Violin Concerto, 1st movement
Adele Anthony, violin
Ulster Orchestra
Naxos CD 8.554568

In tribute to Ron Fricke who filmed Koyaanisqatsi ( one of my favourite films) This film charts the progress of the day and night, the changing light, weather and progress of the moon and stars . Enjoy ( do enjoy as it took two years to make!)
Technical assistance was by Alistair Meldrum who provided the specs for the pans and other things well beyond me, drove me places and had to give up a lot of his own time-lapse due to me getting there first.
Music ( shamefully I forgot to add this to the final version credits) Phillip Glass from his violin concerto.
Video editing - greatly helped by Rene Orielly who pointed the way to good editing and who was not at all shy by giving rough comments ( and i like that)
Video testers- David Watt, Dougie Nicol, Janet McSherry, Ian Wishart, Ian Hartley ( if its crap, they have no problem telling me so).

The best thing i've seen on youtube ... what an effort ! About 3 minutes on I was starting to think, this might soon become a bit too long, but i kept watching as the shots managed to become more and more amazing. Also, it's great how some of the most beautiful stuff is free, just look up and frame the sky ...I would love to know a bit about technique (lenses used, panning during timelapse) if that's not proprietary ... either way, hat's off, superbly brilliant film!

Great how you have done this, also brilliant to see my home town, from a far away place. :D

Hello there, I just want to say i think this video is fantastic and I love how you manipulated the location to get that material. I have a question concerning the Violin Concerto. I myself am about to film a surrealist film in Edinburgh, and I was going to use this as a soundtrack to a part of it. Now, for this recording, did you get copyright permission? And If you did, what did you have to do for that? Thanks a lot.
