Well shot, now I’m all homesick! Of course the fact that I have only seen the sun once in the past 3 weeks probably adds to it, but this is a wonderful postcard from home.. thank you!

The time-lapse images were great – I have a Celestron 114 myself, and have done some astrophotography using it as a base, but hadn’t though of using its motor for doing slowpans.

You also really caught some amazing candid moments with the people in the park, that really reminded me what the “face of Boston” looks like.

Great video (+superb audio)!
If Boston ever applies for hosting the Olympics, the organisers should consider giving Tom Guilmette a call.

What’s next – aerial shots?

@florian: you only have to get permission if you are shooting on private property. shooting on and around the city is no problem. i got written permission to shoot in the park (the long lens people shots). I have a few new clients who found me because of this new setup and my old clients love this stuff!

@Raphael: Twixtor is a great software plugin. It interpolates the footage and adds “extra frames” of video to make the stuff look like it was shot in overcrank. BUT… it only works with limited movement. Cutting the wedding cake would look great, a tight shot of a womans face smiling looks even better. It does not work well with sports like a fast paced basketball highlight or a shot where the information in the frame is constantly changing. Watch, “Chatham Light” on this site, I shot all of that at 60FPS and then slowed it down with Twixtor 4.5.

@Amar: Thanks for watching!

Bonjour Tom,
Long time no talk! I see that you have been immensely busy since we last talked (it was about a year ago and you were asking me if you could publish my questions related to the EX1). Meanwhile I bought one and I am so glad I listened to you.
Question: I have been using the 720 30p in over crank mode and I love it. BUT, if you shoot normal footage 1080 30p and want to get the same nice & smooth slow mo, would Twixtor help you do that?
I am looking for a way to get a really nice slow mo out of regular progressive footage.

Thanks for your help and BRAVO on your Boston time lapse. It is very excellent and my jaw dropped (many times) but especially with the shot from the round fountain! Oh la vache! (holy cow in French!)

Great job! I liked the idea. I am curious on a couple things; did you have to get a permit to shoot on these locations, besides the park? Also, how does this compare to using just a 2/3 chip at wide with ND? It would be cool to do a side by side with a high end camera and a letus setup and see how the images compare.

Any Clienst grabbing for this as a shoot setup?

Thanks again for the share, I hope to get the chance to rent one here on the west coast soon.
