I suppose this is a kind of nerdy question, but which program did you use?
..and where the hell did you get these bad ass skills from?

It's really incredible. I saw the timelapse video and it was amazing. The amount of details that you put into that image are simply astounding.

Hi Mr. Chad. Just curious, what's the approximate file size?

Edit: PS, just ordered one for my 16 month old son's bedroom wall. He's going to love it forever.

The Illustrator file ended up being under 6 MB, actually.

That is the best vector image i have ever, ever seen. I really wish it was 1280*800 so i could use it as my background *hint*

Oh and from the time of your video and you saying that the photo was taken every 5 seconds i worked out it only took you 32 hours and 45 minutes, not 40 hours ;). I suppose the other 7 hours and 15 minutes were sorting out the BSOD ;)

Are you selling a numeric high-resolution version? I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to hang the print.

Regarding henrylegge's comment about the time: there was a total of about 26,918 screenshots that comprise the video, which comes out to 37.4 hours. I didn't record a couple hours at the beginning, so that gives me approximately 40 hours. Vimeo videos supports 24fps in it's video, so at that rate, the video actually came out to about 18 minutes, here: www.vimeo.com/1015679

Obviously, I wanted it to be more entertaining and an even quicker pace, so I sped it up to last a little over 6 minutes.

Regarding andafrouse comment: I'm not sure what I'll be doing next with the image after the initial run, but I'll post i'll try to keep everybody informed.

Great work, I love it. I'd even buy the print if it wasn't so small. Why not print a nice poster size instead of the dinky 21" x 13" ?

This is so great! You should consider selling the desktop wallpaper, as I'm sure lots of people would kill to zoom in on some of that detail you can tell is happening in the video, but is too small to see here...
