11.11.10 was the day i saw snow for the first time this year. i was really excited about it and wanted to capture the moment, so i placed my camera in the kitchen table with a tripod, and set the cooking timer. every 30 minutes i ran to the kitchen, took a photo, and set the timer again. and again. later i used those images to produce the video on my ubuntu laptop. with shotwell i adjusted the tones in the raw images, so they wouldn't be too different from each other. i learned to use synfig to do the motion animation. the photos run back and forth all the time. i used the list importer in synfig for that, and a .lst text file with 1800 lines with the repeating file names 1800 frames 2 minutes at 15 fps. i spent a while tweaking keyframes, waypoints, motion and timing in synfig. when i liked the result i exported 1800 png images, which i merged into a huffyuv lossless video using ffmpeg. the music was synthesized with supercollider. i wrote the source code for the music in gedit, with the supercollider plugin. i recorded the audio generated by supercollider with jack timemachine, and added some fading and reverse effects with audacity. finally i encoded the lossless video file and the mp3 audio file using avidemux. wow i didn't realize i used so many programs strange... there is no art category in youtube... should i file it under autos amp vehicles pets amp animals people amp blogs there are people, a dog and a car in the video :
