Time Lapse 1 (1999)

My first collection of time lapse films shot on Super8. I shot most of it around Palouse and the chicken coop. The section with the cactus was filmed in Arizona on the Eureka Farm tour in 1999.

It was shot on my Minolta XL401 with its built in interval timer.

Before I had the Minolta, I had to use a custom made interval timer rigged up for me by Dr. Jimmy, Bellingham’s resident electronics guru at the time. I worked for him one summer, testing a huge pile of vacuum tubes with an ancient tube tester.

The music is another permutation pattern that looks like this.

It has a repeating percussion line under each phrase which isn’t involved in the permutation. It contains four elements similar to the one I used on Mazama, but in a different order.

So here is Time Lapse 1.
