One Day is a conjoined series of time lapse videos of Platte Bay, Lake Michigan, over the course of one day, with an identical field of view. I've done something similar in the past ( see my video "Flight through Time") but not with a static field of view which reduces the degrees of freedom. I've always wondered if it could be done and what it would look like. After a week of exploratory and method development flights, I arrived at a technique for aligning the field of view between 16 flights. Then I had to find a day with a certain amount of clouds (dramatic effect) and light winds. That is difficult. Then I had to get up early and spend all day flying, shooting, and off loading. It was a lot of work, and my wife was wondering "When are you going to land that thing?"
The results was not as spectacular as I thought it might be. I suppose it depends on the day's events, sunlight, etc. Once you start in the morning, it's quite a commitment. Next time I'm thinking the lapse segments need to encompass a longer "real time" more than 6 minutes. Maybe someone else can try this and see what you come up with.
