Live/Work Update: Slab Back Fill
The crew from All American was back today to back fill with rock. I was a little shocked to watch the guys build a mini ramp on which they drove the bobcat into the center of the building. Guess it beats the wheelbarrow!
The rain and bobcat made for a real mess. Check out the time-lapse video below to see how quickly the yard goes from solid ground to mud-soup (warning to slow-bandwidth viewers: the video is in high-def and takes some time to download. You can disable the HD by clicking the “HD” logo in the lower right corner of the player).

This time-lapse in HD is hi-tek! What software do you use to do this? Super-cool. I also like the new concept and design of your blog… well done!

Hi John,
Thanks for the kind words.
I’m using the Wingscapes camera (http://www.portlandbuilt.com/category/partners/wingscapes-partners) and then assembling the images using Photoshop CS4. It has a built-in image sequencing feature that works pretty well.
I should note that the Wingscapes camera has a BUILT IN movie creator – you simply tell it to build a movie out of the sequence of images on its flash memory. It works great, especially if you don’t have a way to build the video yourself.
I chose to go the Photoshop route since it gave me more control over the finished product, but for 90% of users, Wingscapes solution works perfectly.
