Filmmaker Ross Harris made a 10-second video consisting of a bunch of photographs of his house, yard, and studio. What a fun way to show off your environment! I want to try doing the same for my place.

    I really enjoyed that. Watched it three times, and the images that stuck in my head were: a picture of Mr. Spock, the words “Ginger Ale” and of course the sleepy dog at the end. I’d like to make one of these too. :)

    Neat! I did a similar video life study of my parents from scanned family photos spanning about 75 years.

    I’d like it to last a couple minutes. I enjoy looking at stuff!

    I enjoyed it!

    If I ever went to Ross’ house I would look for more outtake footage of Elliott Smith! :D

    Cheers!

    WOW and I thought I had already had my morning coffee…I suppose I need the 5 Hour energy too :)

    This is wonderful. VHS of Mon Oncle! A group of 8mm movie cameras! So many wonderful things.

    I am another person who wants to make a similar video.

    Bedroom-Mood-Meter, Vernor’e Ginger Ale, Mr. Spock, Philip K. Dick paperbacks, and is that Gary Coleman in the photo at 0:10?

    Clever idea.

    Oh – I thought it was Rolf Harris. Disappointment. But at least it was swift!

    He’s definitely not a member in good standing of the Cult of Less.

    I did this a few days ago with all the photos I took last year. It’s a laugh-out-loud hoot to see a thousand-picture year flash by at several frames/sec.

    Is that a Kingston Guitar?

    • DomoDomo

      Thought it might be a Teisco.

    I can’t help but think of how the episode “Bad Timing” of Farscape started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WxgYulC9aw

    Nice set of Rarotongans.

    Maybe just remove the paraphernalia before taking the photos

    Oh what the heck – party on Dude!
