Kickstarter

I am hand making the DVD rewards and will be shipping them out at the end of the week. Those who expect to receive one and haven't sent me their address, please do. 

Also today I launched my new Kickstarter campaign! It's for my new short film "Cryosphere" about the melting of a glacier. This film will be finished and released on November 30. Please donate and share the campaign to make that happen. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1560227758/kickstart-cryosphere

The film is finished and is available free to view in HD online in its entirety. Two years of planning, over 100,000 pictures taken in rain/sun/stars/trees, to make a unique planetary experience.

I will be emailing contributors with links to download a HD QuickTime of the film, and gathering mailing address to ship out DVD's in the coming weeks.

97,687 pictures taken and 8 day staring at the sky. There are still a few more days to go, just waiting for the perfect day to get those final scenes. Here is a teaser of the film COMING SOON 

I went out today and found a location that works better. This will be an ideal place to photograph, it is far away from any people, with large lush trees, and a good window to the sky. In this image it was raining, which I am fine with at times during the day. That will look interesting in timelapse, but I want to make sure the sky is clear at night to see the stars. 

I also started mocking up some design ideas. I like how this feels similar to a planet floating in space.

I'll keep an eye on the weather reports and start getting this made. Can't wait!

I think I found an interesting location. This is the most like the sketch I made and is in Siuslaw National Forest with stunning large growth trees. Only thing that worries me is this is very close to the pacific ocean and the climate rains almost daily, plus I wonder if this canopy is too closed and won't be interesting enough in timelapse. It still could be interesting to see the lighting shifts throughout the day with small slots of stars around the silhouetted trees at night. 

If I get a break in the weather I will give this location a try and go from there. I'm also considering adding some graphics and animation to the images to make it more interesting and with a little story structure.

Anyone have any opinions or thoughts on these ideas?
