Time lapse footage for the extras disc of the Commencement DVD set I'm producing.

I wanted to use SimCity 4 music, but that's copyrighted of course, so I had to whip up the sound in Soundtrack, not knowing what I was doing.

I want my money back.

Very cool, good job. I'd say make it shorter, but since it's for the extras disk I think this is fine.

Hey I thought that was pretty cool. There are some definate moments, when you frame the shot with the clouds on the top left *thumbs up*

The music is even good too... untill th 27 second mark, then it sucks, what happened?
I recomend sticking with the theme you had developed over the first third of the song and building on that or taking elements out and just letting the beat roll on.

Good stuff overall though

edit: V V V yeah that is the shot I thought was the strongest as well. the clouds help sell it IMO.

The second shot was easily the most interesting shot of the bunch. to be honest, i would have been happy if it were just that one shot the whole time.

Time lapse really screws with your head. It felt like that video would never end and it was only a bit over a minute and a half.

I'm aware, but again, this was my first time doing time lapse footage, so I was experimenting.

I originally tried a jazz theme like SimCity, but it ended up sounding like horrible 70s porno or something. There weren't really a lot of loops that sounded SimCityish, hence that weird beat at 27 or so seconds. But since bonus footage, much less music for time lapse footage is the least of my concerns in getting the DVD set produced in time, I didn't want to spend lots of time messing around with Soundtrack, especially when music isn't my forte.

Best part of that movie:
Around the 11th -14th second mark, you can see an orgy. BTW, those clouds looked like JFK being shot.
