Pier 24 is a free photography museum in San Francisco, and one of the premier venues for viewing fine art photography. This time-lapse of the current About Face exhibition shows some of the almost 1000 portraits on display. The photos range from 19th century to current. The video condenses a 2 hour gallery visit down to a little over 3 minutes. Book your own appointment to see this show on the Pier 24 website.
The time-lapse was created using a GoPro HD Hero worn around my neck on a shoestring and set to take one photo every 2 seconds. The almost 3000 resulting images were processed in Adobe Lightroom. I used the virtual copy feature to make duplicate frames of the photos that I wanted to pause on. Then I exported the images at a smaller size, which created extra jpg files to alter timing of the video.
Next I used QuickTime Pro to assemble the images into a video at 12fps. The titles and music were added in iMovie. The song is “Loss” by A Certain Ratio. From about 41-48 seconds the camera freaked out due to the lighting, or possibly because of the powerful wall of Lee Friedlander photos. What an amazing show. You can also view a time-lapse of the previous Pier 24 exhibit Here, and photos from the Fisher Collection exhibit.
Wow, thanks for sharing, like being there! Good to see that you and Troy had fun.
Thanks, Klaus!
My appointment there finally came around.
The photographer baseball cards set was great!
Yeah it was cool to see the whole set in real life. I wish there was some way to display them so you could see the other side, too.
