[@ScottsReviews]

[@MatthewVandeputte]

This is insane man!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Thanks homie

[@LERAKO]

This is awesome, there are so many details to look at and see something new. The pools of water on the black roof in the middle evaporating are captivating for some reason. Thanks for sharing this experiment mate!

[@MoZainGallery]

The trees cycle from green to yellow to no leaves is amazing. Well done 👏👏👏👏

[@leylapicou4500]

Amazing work as always

[@johannesstoll6476]

Awesome! Stumbled upon you on tiktok and had to check you out here and just finished the whole movie in one setting. Intriguing how cloudy London really is. I just recognized two small glitches - at 39:27 & 39:40 the images are corrupted😅

[@MatthewVandeputte]

can't believe you caught those haha

[@adelguy67]

This was truly incredible!!

[@SpahGaming]

Crazy how i was just living my life, on each of these days, only a few miles from here, for every day of this video, like, every day of 2023 i lived, the weather was shown was the weather i saw, just from another pov

[@neodanks454]

This deserves more views!!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Cheers

[@jefftaylor6917]

Awesome, I do like your time lapses

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Glad you like them!

[@Sai_Bhavsar]

I year ago you did a 30 day time lapse, this is much appreciated

[@timefilming]

probably, he's shooting a 10 years timelapse right now 😜

[@blutey]

Looks like a labour of love. What was the final file size?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Think 150gb but that was a video codec

[@DamirSecki]

woah! Amazing - looks tremendous amount of work! would be cool to put a date/hour label to a corner

[@MatthewVandeputte]

I tried to do a date/time thing but was wasting time and couldn't figure out a proper way to do it. So just posted this instead

[@OzoneVibe]

Watched (well, "played" - watched most - was also watching live WRC Sweden) from start to finish. 🤪 I'd forgotten how rubbish the weather basically was in the UK during the last year. The trees (bottom right) changing through their seasonal colours. 👍 Your face appeared, briefly, on the left .. a few minutes in.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Haha yeah I appear in a handful of photos from leaving over the balcony to check out some noise on the street. I wonder what the watch time of this video is going to be!

[@soth1sol]

WRC Sweden yoooooooo!

[@levijanssenphotography4751]

Great video! I have been wanting to do a year-long timelapse of the Minneapolis, MN skyline with my Afidus long-term timelapse camera. I just need to find a spot to mount it so that it won't get bothered (or stolen). So far my longest long-term timelapse is 3ish months of a community mural.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

How do you like the afidus? Been meaning to test one

[@levijanssenphotography4751]

​@MatthewVandeputte I like it a lot! It is very easy to set up and the battery life is great, it runs off of 4 AA batteries, and depending on the interval it can run off of them for a long time. It's compact and weather-resistant. The ones I have only shoot 1080p but they release a 4K Version recently.

[@levijanssenphotography4751]

If my calculations are correct, you had an interval of around 5-6 minutes?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Six minutes per shot

[@Kewickviper]

This looks like mile end/bow/stratford sort of area. Swear I've been down this area before.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Bethnal green

[@xirfan]

I just completed a 5 month timelapse with a total of 18 frames so this is quite something 😉

[@steveschnetzler5471]

How often did you have to clean the lens? Seems like all that rain would leave residue.

[@zoot3000]

Any idea what the timestamp is for new years day? Very cool

[@MatthewVandeputte]

I'll try and find it

[@bothhemispheresphotography5031]

Excellent work, this is really cool (and beats my longest by 361 days :-) )

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Haha nice

[@ericjoellopez9953]

Awesome OP, came from Reddit.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Thanks for coming

[@timefilming]

wow, how did you power the camera? solar battery? 🙃

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Solar panel built into the camera 🙏🏻

[@timefilming]

@@MatthewVandeputte but... there's almost no sun 😄 (at least there is such a stereotype and the video is mostly cloudy)

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Efficient power usage and still plenty ambient light

[@ahmedwaddah9391]

Wow 👏👏👏

[@MatthewVandeputte]

🤗

[@jehoorhmn9056]

wow bro

[@DamirSecki]

also, would have been great to see a construction sight or smth... see it grow every day... you sohuld offer this service to construction companies

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Yeah keen to do one

[@Davidyateman360]

i made it to the end!! . the lights on the far left must be on a timer lol .

[@timefilming]

shoot a year hyperlapse next time 😛

[@MatthewVandeputte]

there it is lol. weird glitch on the app i reckon

[@timefilming]

@@MatthewVandeputte just posted again, the previous one vanished

[@DamirSecki]

give it to flat earthers so they can explain the moon and sun rise's arches

[@MatthewVandeputte]

They'll just start yapping about something else instead. No point in arguing with them

[@bap9394]

Most depressing timelapse ever, technically excellent though, thanks

[@MatthewVandeputte]

this made me chuckle thanks

[@allworld_360]

Ups 🤔🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏WOW🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@petrub27]

I don't really like it tbh. The fisheye lens, the uninspiring composition, lack of colors, choppy cloud movement because of the fast shutter speed., etc

[@frednorman1]

That’s a lot of work and a lot of wear and tear on your camera. I lost interest after about two minutes.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Not a lot of work, no wear and tear. Thanks for stopping by.

[@markjob6354]

*From one TL shooter to another, I would have tilted up slightly to show a little more of the sky in the frame. Secondly, the soundtrack blows. I wish TL filmmakers would resist the temptation to constantly go to "Techno" style, percussive, music as the basis for their soundtracks. Techno music quickly becomes repetitive and creates the perception of monotony during the presentation. Have you forgotten this is a "Movie ?" Movies "Move," and are not static in their nature. There needs to be something for the eye to follow, such as motion controlled movement, like tilts, pans, and even zooms. The art in most time-lapse photography is to show the audience a special perspective which they haven't seen before. Unfortunately for us TL filmmakers, there is one heck of a ton of footage out there, which the public has already been exposed to, thus the increased pressure to come up with more and more views, angles, and unseen perspectives which are original in nature to the eye. In furtherance of these ideals, the TL filmmaker must invest heavily in Edelkrone type equipment, or resort to custom building their own equipment from the ground up in order to obtain TL views not seen before. Unfortunately, this type of TL movie has been seen over and over again.*

[@MatthewVandeputte]

That's a lot of waffle mate. You can't tilt this camera up to show more as then the stitching doesn't work. The goal of this video isn't to captivate the viewer for an hour, I'd be interested to hear how a single shot can entertain someone for 60 minutes straight. It's a technical feat, something to scroll through and maybe play in the background while working. You need to work on your tone when commenting, it comes across as rude and you sadly have nothing to back your attitude up with. Have a blessed day.

[@markjob6354]

@@MatthewVandeputte Some people are not open to having their work critiqued in any way. Sir, I saw nothing in your original post about this being some sort of technical experiment. It would probably be a good idea for you to have made this point clear in your original posting of the video. As for my tone, you are reading in something which was not there. I did not intend to be rude, only to evaluate what I thought was meant to be your final presentation (???) As for my own work, I don't post on KZbin. I do post test sequences I want to use for demonstration purposes like you claim you are doing here.

[@bothhemispheresphotography5031]

Matthew is being more polite that your comments warrant. Your original comment _does_ come off as rude (no matter what your intentions). Perhaps try harder to be a better person (or try harder to learn how to communicate in a text-based environment). And before you publicly reply to any more bodies of work with with the assumption that your mere opinion is gospel, at least try to determine context: telling a hugely experienced TL photog like Matt that a "TL filmmaker must invest heavily in Edelkrone type equipment" is a naive comment at best, and hugely a condescending one at worst (text-based environment note: I am giving you the benefit of the doubt here on the definition of: “worst”). As for the artistic validity of this movie that Matt has posted, I have personally been commissioned to shoot long-format timelapses that work very much this way: static view of an urban scene with days and days passing (and where motion-control equipment would have been counter-productive). These were destined for permanent display on wall-sized screen arrays, so you can go ahead and condescend to _me_ about your definitive opinions on art now.

@@bothhemispheresphotography5031 Giving an opinion is NOT condescension ! If you don't want people commenting in all ways possible, then don't post your material on Social Media. How the hell do we glean the context ONLY NOW which you are presenting ? from what appears as a random post ? There was NO SUCH CONTEXT presented with this man's original post. So how are the viewers so suddenly supposed to know this ? By Telepathy ? ! Be a better person ? Oh please grow up and act like an adult, and let's have an adult conversation, shall we ?

I am also a successful screenwriter, so don't you goddam lecture me about learning to be a better communicator in a text based environment ! I never said or even suggested my opinion was Gospel, YET YOU ARE LECTURING DOWN TO ME AS IF YOUR OPINION IS F_____ Gospel !!! 👎🏻Edelkrone is consumer MOCO equipment. Most of my fellow TL filmmakers build their own stuff, as I already wrote. Why don't you go re-read my post, and stop being such a cretan, brow beating snob, just because you know how ! 🎬🎬🎬These kind of responses is only one more of the reasons why I don't post most of my actual contractural work on Social Media.
