At SCALE, we’re always trying new things.   Some work, some don’t; some make big impacts, some don’t, but are still worthwhile.  In that latter category, we have the SCALE 7x Expo Floor Time Lapse, aka “SCALE 7x - The Movie”

Mike Maki, a member of the Tech Committee, put a camera on top of the Tech Committee booth on the Expo floor.  Using an external disk drive and gphoto2, he captured an image of the Expo floor.  Starting Thursday night, until the Expo was completely torn down, the camera took a photo every 15 seconds.

Mike has made an MPEG4 movie out of the images, using mencoder and Kino (for titles, etc.)  It’s not Gone With the Wind, but it’s worth a view.  Pay close attention to how quickly the Expo floor gets torn down (hint - don’t blink)  It’s here on Youtube.

Enjoy!
