Just Google image searching "turtleneck" made me nauseous.

Hey Brian,

Thanks for the input. At 10.5 there will be some distortion, but I have used that lens many times before and it has worked out OK (EX: http://www.youtube.com/watc... and http://www.youtube.com/user....

I do edit all of the photo together in the end using Final Cut. I just shoot photos using my DSLRs and the built in intervalometer not video.

Hi, I'm Brian. Just found you via Carlton/Twitter. Sounds like a great project! And at 10.5mm? There could be some serious distortion on the edges. Do you plan to edit it together in the end? It may help to have both high angles and street level shots of the market. The music totally depends on the mood you want to communicate. It could be a ragtime comedy sound or an ambient Ulrich Schnauss. I'd lean toward Ulrich and blend it with narrative footage on the street level that's shot at 30fps and slowed to 24fps. Just a subtle shift that amplifies the feeling that you're playing with time.

Haha, this is true. Or Vancouver Island could subside into the sea, so Bellingham could get some waves.

Fun! You're gonna be the next Ray Harryhausen before long. What frame grabber software are you using? I totally wanted to be Nick Park when I was in high school.

There's about 25 of them on Lincoln street. They seem to congregate near bus stops and low-income housing.

Think about all of the trees we are gonna save though?

People got over not using stone tablets after time. It will be OK I promise.

Sad! I've always enjoyed reading a newspaper even now when news is so easily available online. I miss print :(

Atleast there is some type of shining light out there in the universe for you, Matt. I about died when I read that last one. Where did you find it?

That's you in 5 years. Somehow you'll turn Asian and have an affinity for brightly colored swimwear/accessories. Don't fight it, Matt, just let it happen.

Pretty sure I used to answer those same questions when I was the IT guy at a small business. My favorite (and this dates me a little bit):
User: My computer won't turn on.
Me: Is there a disk in the floppy drive?
User: I don't see one.
Me: Push the button.
User: What button?
Me: The floppy drive eject button.
User: Where is it?
Me: Be there in a few minutes. . .

Solution: CLEAR umbrellas... or a summer wedding. #derp
