a series of images by Jim & Laura Hejl. Captured in Vancouver, BC

Laura really helped me a lot on this one, including the ultimate decision to expose 1 second frames. She also did a great job in the passenger seat with the "contraption" that I built.

Equipment:
Audi A3
Canon Digital Rebel
Canon 17-40mm f/4L @ 17mm
Canon TC80N3

Soundtrack:
"Keep The Car Running"
Arcade Fire
Merge Records

yo Hejl. I must say, made with a 5d, this is absolutely brilliant. Every photo used for this vid is a piece of art by itself. To stitch them together like this.... very cool. Well done.

wonderfull

the title seems part of an amazing sentenc by Ayrton Senna...

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high

Wow, awesome time lapse.

I've been thinking of doing that with my tripod and camera standing out of a car window, but I don't know if it would work out. What was the "contraption" that you built?

Very cool, I have a friend who does this while on roller blades. He has a camera and hard drive strapped to himself plus he composes original music to go with the films. He's won a bunch of awards for his works.

Moe W says:

The movie is called Kino Citius (formerly Spacer) he shot it here in Vancouver between 2001 and 2003. I believe it was first screened in 2004.

edit: OK, I heard from the director and he gave me his website. Check it out...

Hope you enjoy.
