Elliott's Photo Album

Sunday 1 July 2007

In case you missed it...

Well Elliott was 12 weeks old last Tuesday and he will be 3 (calendar) months old this Tuesday, so it seemed like a good time to look back on what has been an amazing time in our lives! We made this movie, using essentially all the photo's (of Elliott) that we've taken since he came into our lives.

Be warned... This is a 11.5 Mb file, I wish I knew how to make it a smaller file without ruining the image quality but I don't... so for all those dial-up bandits, go make yourself a cup of tea because it will take a while.



The movie contains:
- 1277 frames
- 921 are original photos of Elliott (that's 77 photo's/week, a testament to the age of digital photography)
- 52 are photos of an increasingly pregnant Kel (26 side profile, 26 front profile)
- the remaining frames are repeated photos throughout the film for dramatic effect... and to fill out the song.

The song, for anyone who didn't bond with the Aussie band Boom Crash Opera in the late 80's is "The Best Thing", off the album "These Here Are Crazy Times" released in 1989 (I had it on cassette).

Believe it or not, the band is still together, and they have a Myspace:

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
(the cuppa was good too ... only joking!)

What a fantastic way to look back at three memorable months and before that with the bump growing!

Loved the time lapse photogaphy effect, the whole 4mins plus of the new Polyphonic Spree video was captured in the same way! .. so you are a very "current" movie maker! I salute sir/madam! :0)

Enjoyed Crash bang Wallop too, they never made it too the other side of the world from my recollection!... The UKs loss!

catch you soon guys ...

Elliott, Kel and Brett
The movie is just great. The images and music are a journey. The journey is love. The love is the family. You are beautiful people. I saw it first last night and the whole thing has been going through my head all day. Alarmingly fabulous on the second view tonight. Together you three are an awesome combination.
Love,
Steve and Adel
