Hi All,

I hope this might be of some interest, I've just completed a project created entirely from 15'000 still photo's shot on a Canon 400D.

Wow, that's really incredible! At some points, I couldn't believe that you didn't use a video camera. My mom looked at the computer and asked me what movie I was watching.

Very nice work. I've been rolling some ideas like this around in my head. Did you use a intervalometer?

Pretty damn sweet.

It looks a whole lot like Washington State!

I dont know if it's just me but the video played choppy due to lagging. I couldn't finish watching it...

Amazing work, but I think he cheapened it with the ending and the MS Paint type graphics lol.

This was super gnarly!
How long did it take to shoot all this?

Actually, it was understandable that it was choppy in part because it was not shot as video. A still camera does not shoot 24 or 30 frames per second and therefore replicating the smoothness of video from a series of stills is almost impossible. Technically it was more an animation than a video.

Nevertheless it was a great job.
