We took 6771 PHOTOS OF CHIANG MAI & NORTH THAILAND
Moving just a small step or a fraction between each frame, pressing the button methodically, making sure to breathe outward like a sniper might to ensure that each photo maintained the same target point as we rotated around a point of interest. Sound difficult? Add to that temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius beating down on us as we shuffled like snails around some of north Thailand’s most famous tourist attractions. How does that sound? 🙂
Well the problems didn’t end there, post production saw us aligning and perfecting each frame with digital rulers to ensure a smooth video like motion. It was not a quick process to say the least. But! Once all that was done we strung them together into a very high resolution video. It’s basically the fastest holiday photo slideshow ever ;-).
The challenge was to move just enough with each photograph to create an interesting flowing movement for the resulting final video which plays at 25 frames (photos) per second. It took a LOT of patience! 😀
Each frame of this Thailand Video is a Medium sized RAW photograph shot on a Canon 5D mark 2 SLR stills camera. The images were then edited and colour corrected in Adobe Lightroom and made into Time Lapse image sequences in Adobe After Effects. We also made good use of our Digislider ‘shoot move shoot’ cinema rail for the slow sliding time lapse shots.
Because the original 6771 photo images were so much larger than regular HD footage, we decided to create this episode of ‘8 miles from home’ in SUPER 2k Resolution High Definition for your viewing pleasure. We hope you appreciate the work we put into this 🙂 Enjoy this little slice of fun from Chiang Mai and North Thailand…

It was not a quick process to take so many photographs and make them into a video of Thailand. But! once we strung them all together it’s basically the fastest holiday photo slideshow ever ;-).
