Blackpool: Timelapse Experiments

A million years ago, my friend and I had this idea for a timelapse: set off at sunset, but head west quickly enough that the sunset would last the whole drive. We knew that we'd never be able to face the sun for the entire journey, but there were these question marks about how the light might look. Would the sunset feel like an eternity? Could we even chase it fast enough? We endeavoured to check it out.

Alas, as with many great intentions, the evening we allocated to road trip was awful. But, f*ck it. We set off anyway, grabbed a last minute hotel, and changed tack: instead, we decided to lengthen the shutter speed as we got closer and closer to our destination. This sparked a bunch of ideas.

Part 1: The whole journey compiled into a two minute video.

Part Two: Coming soon.
