The San Francisco Ballet does a wonderful, touching, modern dance version of this flight that is a must see!

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster!

Did you create this slide show from video clip or from time lapse on the GoPro ?

This was in 2009, long before the GoPro. I used a Canon SD-870IS camera w/ CHDK for 15-second intervals. I used a script to reduce each photo down to 1440x1080px then hand-picked the best 190 from 300 and placed these on the editing timeline with a 1-seond fade overlapping each still. Arnand Amar keeps changing the tempo of that ballet music and I had to keep tweaking the frame duration to maintain what I felt was the right tension and relief from my perspective as a viewer. I hope more than two or three people enjoyed it.

I fully agree Pascal. thumbsup good idea I may do another edit and not only remove half the images but alter the timing of the stills and the wipes. Another thing would be to use higher resolution images and pan around slowly. Can you assist me?

Excellent! brings back fond memories. great music, thanks, great to watch over moring coffee. Puts me in a ready for the day mood.
A few more views of the valley woulds be good for perspective.
