Drive to Work Take 2

gorillapodslr_camera.jpgTime for “Take 2″ of my drive to work time elapased video!

I really liked the first take at this, but the camera was mounted very poorly. Think tape combined with a rear-view mirror and you get the idea. It was swinging around and shaking with abandon, which caused a ridiculous video. I was looking at getting a Gorillapod for my trip to Canada in a couple of weeks and it was also the perfect tripod to mount a camera on my dash. This, combined with an overcast day that gave more even light and a closer position to the windshield to eliminate a lot of the grime on the glass made for a significantly better video.

For comparison, here is the first one as well. Try hitting play on both of these at the same time to see the differences.

  1. Very nice commute! I said hey! that looks like a nice place to live, and there it was – minnesota! (I live SE of St. Paul)

  2. 5 hours at 1 second = 10 minutes

    5 hours at 2 seconds = 5 minutes

    Take up the challenge Hadar! I think we should spawn an entire new genre of time elapsed commute videos on YouTube.

  3. “spawn an entire new genre of time elapsed commute videos “.
