I was poking around in some old footage and found a shot of our back garden in 1996, so I knocked it together with some other, later, shots of our cherry tree.

Vlomo 2012 Day 08 – Journey
Today I had another go with the car-mounted camera and recorded the drive from where I live to my office. This time I switched off the annoying datestamp and positioned the camera in a better place.
There was quite a lot of traffic, so I have speeded it up. I was going to replace the sound but it ends up kind of amusing.
Vlomo 2012 Day 07 – Dinosaurs
A moment captured. This is Leanne Fowler showing me her origami dinosaurs
Vlomo 2012 Day 06 – Kate
Today I thought I’d have a go at interviewing local character “Coffee Kate” ( http://www.xpresso.co.uk/ ), mobile provider of good coffee and pleasant chat.
Vlomo 2012 Day 05 – Washing
At this tine of year it’s best to make good use of whatever sunshine we get. So this is me pegging out some washing at top speed 😉
Vlomo 2012 Day 04 – Fireworks
Just as I was recording my admission of failure yesterday I began to hear some loud bangs and pops. It turns out that these were from fireworks, mostly from the major firework display here in Ipswich ( http://www.ipswichfireworks.co.uk/ ) which takes place about two miles away. I grabbed my camera and walked down the road a little so I could get a better view.
It’s traditional to celebrate the 5th of November with fireworks and bonfires, organized displays often take place on the nearest saturday evening.
Vlomo 2012 Day 03 – Driving
Not a very successful Vlomo today. I wanted to do a recording from a car-mounted camera but it didn’t work as I had hoped.
Vlomo 2012 Day 02 – Southwold
At the end of August we took a trip up the coast to Southwold, both to navigate a Maize Maze before the end of the season, and to enjoy a day at the seaside.
Vlomo 2012 Day 01 – Hole
A few months ago, after a big storm, a small hole appeared in a car park near my office. Over the weeks it grew and grew. Now, despite the fencing and warning signs, local kids sometimes use it as an impromptu skate park.
My first video for vlomo 2012 nearly did not make it on time. I decided to add a bit of atmosphere after the basic edit with After Effects, but maybe I laid it on a bit thick as it took over an hour to render the first time. I went down to less than 25 minutes when I found the “use open GL” checkbox, but it’s still a lot slower than simple video cutting. I guess tomorrow I should be a bit less ambitious …
CineMoco – a time-lapse robotic camera dolly
It’s a while since I wrote about a new gadget here, but this one really caught my attention. A tiny dolly suitable for modern lightweight DSLR and video cameras, with the added extra of a precision robotic drive so you can do all sorts of moving camera video and stop-motion. The company is also interesting – they had a lot of success on kickstarter with their first idea, and are now going back to the crowd-funding site with the new product rather than taking a more traditional route through sales and funding.
