Time Lapse of a huge ceiling mural I painted in 2008. Roughly 360 hours condensed into 47 seconds. This painting creates the illusion of extended archetecture within the dining room ceiling space. There are four European landscape scenes painted within four decorative medallions. There are two Roman styled, trompe-l'œil statues at each end of the ceiling, along with columns and balconies and decorative elements throughout the mural. The entire scene is quite awe inspiring when seated at the dining room table below the mural. The ceiling is roughly sixteen feet wide and the entire project took about three months to complete.
The time lapse itself was fun to create. I had to make a "fish eye lens box" so my video camera could capture the whole ceiling. I had some extra reducing lenses around that I acquired from an eyeglass store, (they actually just gave em to me as I originally needed them for a college project years ago), however since they weren't specifically made for my video camera the movie was possibly just slightly lesser of quality, but it worked, and that's all I cared about. The picture below shows the "Fish Eye Lens Box" I created for the video. The entire box fits snugly over my camcorder.
