Time Lapse Video of Downtown Atlanta
I put my old school Firewire iSight to good use by recording a time lapse video of downtown Atlanta, as seen from my bedroom window. I started recording at 3am last night and stopped it at 10pm tonight. I used the iSight’s magnetic base with the metal stand from a Logitech speaker to fasten it to the window, although it started to slowly tilt throughout the day. Like my other time lapse videos, this was recorded with Gawker.
The leftmost building is Bell South HQ and the tallest building is Bank of America HQ, which was designed by a Georgia Tech alumni, hence our school colors of white and gold used at the top.

Nice video. What time time frame rate did you use for this? And for the stadium seating video as well?
Thanks!
Nick
Not sure about the stadium one but this recorded 1 frame every 30 seconds and played it back at 24fps.
That was way cool! Keep doing these time lapses. I can’t think of any ideas, but I’m sure you will. =)
Same as Bryan, way to cool
Nice job Paul.
So is this part of your list of “Things geeks do when bored”
Vid isn’t playing in Quicktime Alternative for me, oh well, sounds cool, still not gonna install Quicktime.
Man, didn’t realize I’m the biggest Pstam junkie, leading the frequent commenters, now I feel weird.
I really like the part when the clouds “battle”.
bummer! won’t open in vlc or (an admittedly older) quicktime. :(
It looks like middle management works the longest hours in the building to the left of BoA’s building….as if middle of the building = middle management.
Pretty cool. Best part was watching the lights in those buildings come on/go off. A running clock in the bottom would be cool too — give us an idea of when sunrise/sunset is and when these people arrive to or leave work.
I’d love to set that up looking out my apt window on 6th street and watch all the dog walkers and street traffic.
