12 Months at Arsahamomaque Preserve

Arshamomaque Preserve is located in Southold, Long Island. The video documents the passage of the months from a single point of view.

Very clever project Conrad, with a nice matching music track.

One good edit can make your day, there are people working behind desks in the city who’ll never experience anything like that.

Cheers.

Very good Conrad, enjoyed watching. As an aside how did you go about setting your co-ordinates so the camera was framed in the same place each time or were the clips from a permanent mounted camera?

Re: 12 Months at Arsahamomaque Preserve

The images were made from an observation tower overlooking the pond. I penciled in a spot where the camera was located on a window frame. I also printed a picture of the first shot, noted the focal length, and tried to frame the picture to the same boundaries. Then to make sure, I blew up the images in Premiere Pro to 120 %, first put subsequent images on Track 2 over the first image, set the subsequent image to 50% opacity, and lined the images up. I then moved the subsequent images back to track 1. Finally, because, even with care, they were not always framed exactly the same, I trimmed the shots back to 100%. In some of the first images there was a slight (hopefully hardly noticeable) parallax error because I was not quite careful enough.

Looks like you wrote the book Conrad … have you thought about copyrighting it.

Cheers.
