Formby Beach Time-Lapse

This was taken using my Canon 350D with a stock 18-55mm lens. The timelapse was done with a Pclix 100, each shot was 3 seconds apart, sequenced in Quicktime Pro at a FR of 24.9 sec – then edited in Premiere Pro for AR and sound edit.
Start: 3:48pm
End: 6:10pm
Duration 2hr 22min

HOWTO: Create a shit logo…

  1. Open up Word 2003
  2. Type your company name
  3. Increase the size of the text so that everyone can read it, even if they’d really rather not.
  4. Make the text bold
  5. Highlight the text and change the text colour to red.
  6. BINGO!

Here’s a quick screencast (17 seconds) to cover it all…

P.S. It looks like this quick tutorial has helped the Be ISP with their redesign. Glad to see it helped!
