For the commencement ceremony this year we tested out a new Axis camera to make the time-lapse video. This camera is capable of recording/streaming video at 3MP resolution which allowed me to create this time-lapse video at slightly better than 1080p resolution. Unfortunately there was a bit of glare on the stadium window I was shooting through and the HD makes it all that more apparent. Something to improve upon for next year.
In addition to the time-lapse video, I also used a GigaPan EPIC 100 to shoot 342 12 Megapixel images and stitched them together to create a fun 3.3 gigapixel GigaPan image.
Explore the GigaPan image and other images of Gustavus on our GigaPan website.
I’m surprised to see people still using the gigapan viewer for these big images. The Photosynth viewer is sooo much better, Photosynth offers free storage, and has a really good stitcher.
