16000 km / 10000 miles North American Road Trip GoPro Timelapse

Follow
Bojan S

In 2014 I decided to drive accross North America. The exact route can be found here https://goo.gl/maps/8OQ49.

There is some commentary along the trip by me, and some pictures from the major events during the trip.

The songs being played are songs that were listened to along the way, so every once in a while a song would just "click" with the scenery as I was driving. I wrote it down so when I was editing the video the same song would make it in.

The time lapse was taken with a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition, with pictures being taken every 2 seconds. Max resolution, protune on, and white balance to camera RAW. Processed in GoPro Studio and stitched together with after effects and premier. Approximate amount of pictures taken was about 480,000 pictures. This equated to over 2.5 TB of data that I had to encode and backup along the trip. This took weeks to render, color correct, and stitch together.

Car was a 2005 Subaru Outback XT

The trip lasted 114 days during which I drove 22,350 km. The recording shows only the major route and runs ~16,000 km.

The map and odometer on screen are "relatively" accurate. There is ~ 100km of footage that was not recorded. The odometer and map is accurate between major cities. (i.e OttawaSudbury distance of 480 km is accurate and matches the video at arrival to the city, as does the map)
