With a jury-rigged Canon G9 on a Gorillapod poking through the moonroof I filmed a time lapse movie of my daily commute. I’d been looking for an excuse to try out the movie modes on the G9. The roughly 11 mile drive becomes 90 seconds of racing out of Watertown, through Fresh Pond in Cambridge and out Rt. 2 west to Rt. 128. And thankfully the camera stayed attached to the car for the whole trip!
(YouTube had problems with the original uploaded AVI, so I converted it to MPEG first. I’m not sure how YouTube converts to FLV, but the result is definitely more blurry than the source video.)

Ahh, the jug-handle turn. That brings back memories.

Very cool — although it would be better with The Modern Lovers doing “Roadrunner” as a soundtrack.

Woah, slow down!
I agree with the request for a soundtrack, something electronic… The New Deal or The Postal Service.
Also, I hope this is the first in a series of “Adventures of Graysky”. Graysky cooking, Graysky reading, Graysky shoveling, Graysky “working”.

Flippin’ Sweet! I love how even in Time Lapse you are stuck at Alewife for 20 minutes…

Haha, Alewife traffic sucks. I usually cut through Belmont just to avoid it, but thought it would be more recognizable.
I’ll have to work on my video editing skills to add a soundtrack.

That was an exhilarating ride!
