Howdy

Several Mid-A members took up the challenge of driving cross country to the 2010 S2000 Homecoming in Torrence CA. During that drive west, I was running a time lapse camera on the dash (two actually). I just got around to editing the video of us driving west. The total run time on the unedited video is over 90 minutes in length (at 30:1 time lapse). I've edited it down to just under 16 minutes in length.

Enjoy

Very cool

 

thats awesome.. makes the drive look easy. wish i couldve gone..

 

Just watched it - great video! What a way to chronicle the drive. Makes me want to get a setup like that for the future (and a Mac to make it easier to do so)

 

thats effing aweeesome!

i am doing that in the next few yrs!

 

What type of setup did you have btw?

 

I was running a Macbook Pro under the drivers seat, connected to two webcams in a custom dash mount. The software I used was called Gawker, and it made it fairly simple. I didn't run a power inverter, I found a DC-DC converter from HyperMac that made the power situation easy and heat free.

It was a bit of a pain setting up and breaking it down each night, but it was fairly worry free during the ride.

And for those wondering, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Driving that car for 14 hours a day wasn't a chore, it was a treat.

Top down + cigar + driving into a sunset = heaven.

 

I was wondering what setup you ran. Thanks for sharing.

What a great way to document such an adventure (and then sharing with the rest of us)!

 

Thank you that was very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I enjoy long road trips in the S.

 

Turned out great! Good job!
