I just completed this time-lapse video (the YouTube link is above) of a portrait I did of a young girl. It commemorates her golden birthday which was when she turned 10 years old on the 10th of April. The photos that frame her are photos of that day.
I have always wanted to have a time-lapse video of me creating a piece because of the hundreds of hours it takes me to complete a portrait. It is like watching a flower grow from bud to full bloom. Technology allows the common person without filming and editing skills to now be able to do this thanks to my Flip digital recorder and my Mac computer! And, of course, the help of all the brilliant people at the Apple store!
It is really cool for me to see myself working also for once in 23 years. I can see clearly now the amount of time I take in the details. I filmed only short portions of me working and it still took hours of film and tons of editing to get it down to only 2 minutes long!
