Time Lapse Video from the Pacific Northwest

Explorations in the hidden dynamics of light and motion

A selection of quality high-definition video and photography, especially featuring HD time lapse work from Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. 

The time lapse video work has its origin in thousands of individual photographs captured from some of the most compelling viewpoints in the region. 

After filming, the sequences from hours, days, weeks, and months are combined together in the HD video production. 

These pieces highlight some of the extraordinarily beautiful natural dynamics of light, water, air, and mountains of this region. The time lapse process reveals some of the hidden motion and structure in our world that our eyes cannot see in ordinary time.










University of Washington - UW Seattle Campus, captured in new motion time lapse technique. In this method, the camera is moved hundreds of times (between every shot). It creates a dynamic new sense of space and parallax and adds a new level to time lapse video work. 
 


Seattle is also known as the Emerald City. This new video piece is a showreel collection of Seattle sets over the last year. For this collection, I accelerated the time on each sequence by 2x or 3x.

 


These are some of my best time lapse sequences from these past winter months, mostly featuring locations from around the city and on the water. Yes, Seattle gets a lot of drizzle and overcast, especially in the winter, but it also gets some great light (briefly !) after the storms pass through.

For most photographers, the hours around dawn or dusk are the most exciting times of day. This new time-lapse piece is a collection of some of my favorite nightfall sequences of the past year, mostly shot around downtown Seattle.

Over the last year, I have been shooting thousands of timelapse sequence photographs of the inland sea known as Puget Sound or the Salish Sea. I've been watching the way that light moves across this glacier-carved waterway, and the way the clouds form and re-form dynamically. These are some of the best sequences from the last 12 months - watch for the glimmer of rainbow in the storm.
