Film: Las Vegas 2010 Video Montage

Here is my latest montage I created from our recent Las Vegas trip.
I originally didn't want to do a video b/c I was getting a little tired of doing these but when we happened upon this older gentleman playing How Great Thou Art on his accordion I had to shoot him and from that initial video I knew I had to create something.
I have a longer version that I will upload at a later date but I feel this version is much tighter and better polished.

2 More Pictures from Vegas

These are two panoramic photos I did in the lobb of The Bellagio at 2:30 am. The Bellagio just goes over the top when it comes to fanciful decorations. Katie and I both agreed that we loved the Bellagio a little bit more then all the others.
Anyways, these two pictures are from this little side exhibit right next to the lobby when you walk into the hotel.

Las Vegas: Our First Gambling Experience

Katie and I aren't really the gambling type. I am not an avid poker player... not even a novice poker player and Katie sure isn't one either. Eventhough there were hundreds of card games we could have played katie and I decided to play it safe and have some fun at the fancy Bellagio penny slots!
I had horrible luck but Kate sat down and won several dollars! We should of cashed out when we more then doubled our $5 bill but we got greedy and cashed out right as we reached $5. Our first experience was fun and would probably of been more fun if we hadn't just walked for miles all over Vegas and sat down to play at 2:00am.
We had fun though. :)

Here is a long and boring clip of us playing the slots.

Las Vegas Hotel Timelapses

I was only able to do one timelapse video on our first trip to Vegas. When Katie and I returned to our room Saturday night at 3:30am I forced myself to set the camera up facing the outdoor pool and the distant desert mountains. The results are not very exciting but interesting.

The Rough: This is the first version with no color correction or movement added.


The Final: This is the final version. I tried to remove some of the flickering with FCP's internal flicker filter but I am still not sure whether it helped at all.
