Zion National Park Timelapse

While camping in Zion National Park earlier this month, I took over 1,662 photos of our campsites. Overkill? You bet! But it was for a reason. I wanted to make a timelapse video using still images showing my friends and I setting up our two campsites. My GoPro Hero HD camera has the ability to take a photo every few seconds forever (or at least until the memory card fills up). I attached the camera to a Camalapse, which slowly rotates the camera like a very boring carousel ride. The first scene from the video was recorded at the Watchman Campsite using 605 images. At South Campsite, I started recording before realizing that the Camalapse had not activated yet. If you look carefully, you can see me talking to a park ranger before he continues on his walking route. See how long you can spot him walking through the campground. The last section of the video shows 463-photos of me enjoying a few long necks and the clouds at our second campsite. Enjoy!

The music is Get A Move On by DJ Mr. Scruff (which, in turn, is built around Bird’s Lament (In Memory of Charlie Parker) by Moondog).
