“Finding Portland”

 Click here for a very good time lapse photography video of Portland,Oregon.

I wish I made this; Portland looks fantastic!

This video is composed of over 300,000 images; each second of this video took over 3 hours to make.  The music is well-suited to the video, and it makes my city look even better than it is –

Got four minutes?  My city looks (and is) Great.

"Finding Portland was produced, shot, and edited in 51 days during March and April at the invitation of TEDx Portland, where the video was unveiled to a sell out crowd of 650 and met with a standing ovation. Filmed in Portland and the Columbia Gorge, this time-lapse piece offers a new perspective to the City of Roses. From a Portland Timbers season opening soccer game, to the top of the Fremont Bridge, to an aerial shot of Oneonta Gorge, Finding Portland tells the story of a city and its many faces.

Comprised of 308, 829 photographs taken from over 50 unique locations, it took an average of 3.8 hours to make each second of this film. The intent of the project was to place our cameras in unique locations across the city, achieve significant ranges of dynamic camera motion, and pursue cutting edge time-lapse techniques.
