An experiment in transitions. None of the effects are computer generated. All the trickery took place literally in front of the camera. Thanks to Kevin McAlpine for the song / audio work! kevinmcalpine@gmail[dot]com More stuff I've made- http://www.youtube.com/user/williemayswitte
Even though the title ("Screengrab") explains the technique, I still am scratching my head. So impressive. And a reminder it's no the tools that lead to creativity.

While this only works on Chrome, this stunning star viewer, complete with guided tour about blew my mind this morning. So much fun.
As the shadow of night falls across the American West a lone man begins his work. Far from the confines, calamity, and culture of society, multimedia artist and storyteller Jeff Frost sifts through the visual dregs of places and people who once were. Combining still and time-lapse photography with motion, music, and art, Frost reveals a world rarely seen. Rooted in science and the exploration of space, Frost’s work explodes with light, fire, and sound, utilizing 2D and 3D perspective, leading the viewer on a unique visual journey through worlds both real and imagined. - written by the amazing photographer and human being, Daniel Milnor Knockout Quotes from the free eBook: store.blurb.com/ebooks/327392-flawed-symmetry-of-prediction "Frost's video footage of the desert and abandoned houses in the American Southwest is certainly stunning in its own right, but it was his incorporation of three perspective-bending optical illusions — and his use of time-lapse as a medium to expose the reality behind those illusions — that really sold us." - io9.com "...a glimpse of a world without limits." - Brooklyn Street Art, Steven P. Harrington "[Flawed Symmetry of Prediction] is a monumental thing." - Jeff Dunas, Palm Springs Photo Festival co-founder "Impressive." - Vandalog.com "Very creative and sick." - Tom Lowe, Astronomy Photographer of the Year "Jeff Frost shows us the future of the 21st century book in his audio and visual feast, "Flawed Symmetry." - Eileen Gittins, Blurb Books CEO "Jeff Frost is the author of this new video made frame called Flawed Prediction of Symmetry. She asked him several months of work plans, and melds contemplative and discrete graphics interventions." - allcityblog.fr, translated from French by Google "A breathtaking combination of time lapse and 3D optical illusion." - Coilhouse Magazine + Blog "Go away!" - Allison Nazzareno, Hater
I don't know what this is or how to explain it. Its effect however is mesmerizing. Expressive, engaging, gorgeous and visually stunning.
Flawed Symmetry of Prediction is an outstanding short film by filmmaker Jeff Frost:
"I roam the deserts of California and Utah looking for abandoned structures. When I find a room that I like, I paint large scale optical illusions on the inside of it. I record this process with time lapse photography. It took me over half a year and more than 40,000 high resolution still images to produce this film on my Canon 60D. Aside from painting supplies, the only other equipment I used was a borrowed tripod, and some pretty unconventional lighting. As post production goes, no graphics or CGI was used whatsoever."

Photographer Evan Kitaljevich writes,
This was honestly my first attempt at making a time-lapse. I downloaded/figured out LRtimelapse (the trial version) in the afternoon then went out around sunset to shoot [...] Pan and zoom were added in post [...] To anyone who wants to try this, my best advice is to use a really sturdy (possibly weighed down) tripod. I wish I had one, because shooting with a GorillaPod in a bit of wind made the camera shake between frames. I used the AE warp stabilizer to try and smooth it out, but it still looks a bit weird and wobbly.
