LA to Oregon at Mach 9

Posted by michael on from the take-dramamine-before-watching dept.

Kallahar writes "Last April I hooked up a video camera to my front bumper and drove from Los Angeles to Oregon. The video is finally done; it's sped up 95x which makes the trip a mere 6 minutes long. To do the recording I hooked up a VCR inside the car and recorded in real time, then captured the entire thing to the hard drive and changed the framerate of the avi. The camera and VCR only cost about $50 total, which makes for a fairly affordable hobby/art project."

    DO you know how awesomely cool you are? Of course you had the idea first, you are so cool and know all the best routes. Its amazing that anyone else even thought to have the same brilliant idea that you never did anything about but already know better ways to do.
