Watching an Artist at Work, with Photoshop Auto-Align

In this week’s Martini Hour, you’ll meet Graphic Recording Artist Extraordinaire, Sunni Brown, who also happens to have joined the ranks of book authors this week. More on that in a minute, but in the meantime, during our conversation, I was reminded that I took this “video” of Sunni graphically recording the keynote at SXSW 2010. Really, it was a haphazard series of shots from the fourth row without a tripod, but I aligned them in Photoshop and then turned the layers into a Quicktime movie. It was actually my first, on-the-fly experiment with such things. And my only, because I forgot about it until under the influence of tequila this week. But now I’m wondering what else I could employ this technique for. Any thoughts for what would make fun, casual time lapse?

  • How’d you do that

    Your one line, “I aligned them in Photoshop and then turned the layers into a Quicktime movie” has me stumped.

    I know I can put a series of pictures in a folder and have Quicktime make a movie, but how do you do that from a series of aligned layers?

    Thanks,
