My friend Tom Fassbender took a year off to go on a round-the-world trip with his family. He wrote a bunch of excellent dispatches for Boing Boing, which you can read here. He got back to the US a couple of months ago and just finished editing this video that has over 300 one-second clips of the trip.
One of the things I’d planned on doing during our trip was to shoot one second of video for each day we were traveling. I’d done little projects of this nature on short weekend trips (like this one to Julian, California), but this was taking that idea to a whole new level of commitment. However, the project didn’t work out exactly as I’d planned. As anyone who’s traveled the world will tell you, some days are spent doing pretty much nothing, while others are spent packed with all sorts of activities. So some days I had no clips. Other days I had many clips to sort through.
But these things have a tendency to even out, and in the end, after culling the duplicate clips and the clips that just didn’t work, I ended up with 337 clips for a 333-day trip, which is close enough. Here’s the finished, edited movie.
