...time crunching

Once you getting started doing time lapse videos, it's hard to stop. Here is another look into the construction of Colby College's Biomass Plant in Waterville, Maine. Again, my thanks go out to the folks at Pizzagalli Construction and Cote Crane for being so accomodating while I ran around with a video camera and the still camera. I was there on two separate days to cover this move, total time spent: roughly 3.5 hrs. The process was a two-stage move of the boiler into it's final position, so compressing the time makes it much more fun to watch, and in HD no less. And really, is there anything better than watching other people work while you sit back and relax? Enjoy!

Everyone loves a parade and...

...a time-lapse video! At least in my experience, people seem utterly drawn to watching time on fast forward. There is nothing cooler than seeing something big and time consuming happen really quickly!

On that note, this video is one we made while covering Colby College's Biomass Project. Special thanks to the folks at Colby College, Pizzagalli Construction Company and Cote Crane Corporation for being so accommodating and also for making sure I didn't get crushed during filming! The item being lifted was somewhere around 37,000 pounds, I believe. So I thank you again guys for not sqaushing me, or more importantly, my cameras!
