vog (a BETA videoblog)

Van Gogh or Amsterdam One
created: 22 March 2004

This is a new vog, Van Gogh One. Similar in structure to the other European Holiday vogs (maybe I should start using categories in the vog blog?), it is a single continuous uncut bit of observational video, goes for around 1 minute 50 seconds. The video has been split into two panes, this was just to play around with some cropping (mousing into either of the video panes has exactly the same effect on the movie, the sprite track covers everything, it doesn't discriminate between either video pane), and so that some text could appear in the 'split' towards the end of the video. Mousing in to the video panes triggers the 20+ jpegs (all snaps from Amsterdam), clicking the movie removes the jpeg and you can again see the video as it plays.

Like the earlier vogs it is a quick solution to combining still images with video where they are neither in concert, collage, nor collision. It is a film that simply contains both stills and video and is about three days in Amsterdam in January.

A second iteration of this was made with a soundtrack.
