A Night of Pool at Sophie's, Part III

Long-time readers of this blog might remember my first two forays into motion pictures, my experimentation with the Pure Digital Technologies "Flip" camcorder that resulted in A Night of Pool and Another Night of Pool. Shortly after I made those movies I ditched that camera (as well as iMovie and YouTube). Since then I've become much more enthusiastic about time lapse photography and other DSLR-created movies. This video you are about to watch is black and white still-photograph animation mixed with straightforward time lapse sequences. I've been doing a ton of time lapse lately (hardly any of it pool related) and this month I added a Meade motorized telescope mount to my arsenal. What this mount has allowed me to do is incorporate a slow (glacial, if I choose), planning sweep into my time lapses. But it's hard to set up at a place like Sophie's, I'm limited to whichever out-of-the-way spot I can find to clamp it down. Still, while these are early experiments and I feel that I have a lot of room to improve, I'm excited about the possibilities.
