What is Island Time?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Island Time<\/em> is a long-term imaging project based on the Toronto Islands. \u00a0Employing video, sound, photography, and timelapse sequences, Island Time will showcase the Island as never seen before. \u00a0The first trailer will be online soon.<\/p>\n

What are timelapses?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Timelapses are long sequences of images, usually captured with a still camera. \u00a0When the sequences are put together, they form a video that can show wondrous motion of things that we usually can’t perceive. \u00a0Some Lagoon Report<\/em> examples of timelapses can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are you imaging?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Island Time seeks to image the environment, landscapes, and events of the Island. \u00a0Bridges, boats, flowers, ice, sunrises, sunsets, mammals, birds, moons, eclipses, bonfires, storms, and fluff are all part of the subject matter. \u00a0We haven’t figured out how to image sticky buds yet, but give us time.<\/p>\n

Hey! \u00a0I found this wierd camera out in [insert location here]. \u00a0What gives?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Island Time<\/em> project is employing a wide variety of image capture systems, including photography, video, and timelapse. \u00a0Sometimes, one of these cameras (most usually a timelapse camera) will be left unattended due to the long duration of capturing a given sequence. \u00a0Some potential concerns about these cameras are outlined below:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Are you filming people?<\/strong> \u00a0No, we’re not filming people. \u00a0Occasionally a crowd scene will be photographed, but usually people are incidental to the shot. \u00a0We try, usually, to point the camera at things<\/em>, or out over the lake, harbour, or lagoon, and be obvious about it. \u00a0But it’s not always possible, and sometimes the camera must be placed across a road or boardwalk.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0I walked in front of the camera! \u00a0Am I in the shot?<\/strong> \u00a0It is<\/em> possible, but be aware of a few things:<\/p>\n
