I'm shipping up to Boston -Dropkick Murphys (Or down to fort lauderdale)


 This is the excellent story of how I got my time lapse shots for my music video. It wasn't anything too special, really. I knew I'd have higher accessibility if the plan wa to go to Las Olas, however I knew I'd be in Miami shortly. You see, I was going to a Miami Heat Game with my family. They were set to play against the Bulls. My issue with Miami, is that I couldn't stay in one place for too long, I'd have to be still to record this. I ended up going to Las Olas because it was easier. I did some simple googling to learn a little about hot times and places to be. It took about 15 minutes of surfing the web to find everything out. I figured out a good time and place to shoot (Friday Night at 7 pm from the window of a coffee shop). I set up my phone against the window, hit record, and enjoyed a cookie. After about 15 minutes, I packed up and went home. Later that night, I recruited my brother, gave him a jacket an a watch, and drove out to the nearest shorter streetlight. It had to be shorter for this shot to work. I began with the camera pointed at the streetlight before panning down onto his head and showing his head move. The movement was to symbolize checking said watch. These few shots were the easiest part of the whole music video. The time lapse was by far the easiest thing I've ever done in AICE Media. Now that I've gathered all of my footage, I'm going to start editing. As I learned in this filming process, not everything goes to plan. I do still plan on editing it iMovie though.
