A spectacular time-lapse video of San Diego locales is gaining fans, honors
and tens of thousands of views on Vimeo after only a week.
Not bad for a self-taught 22-year-old who graduates Saturday from a Santa
Barbara arts school.
Michael Shainblum, who attended Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley for
three years and is a member of the Class of 2009, used sophisticated cameras
and gear to create what could be the best time-lapse project ever focused
on San Diego.
Much of it was made downtown at night, and scenes include the seals at La
Jolla Children’s Pool and UC San Diego.
“San Diego has been my home for 19 years,” Shainblum said Thursday via
email from Santa Barbara. “It is still my home and will always be my home.
I really wanted showcase the city through my own eyes.”
He said his main goal was to showcase downtown while also covering many of
the coastal neighborhoods.
“The opening scene of the film was actually taken right in my neighborhood,
” he said. “I picked this scene to symbolize the start of my journey.
Every time I go shoot around the city, I always check the weather from that
lookout point and you can see the entire county area from that view.”
He says he taught himself landscape and time-lapse photography but was
influenced by “almost all of the Brooks Institute photo teachers. … All my
teachers encouraged me everyday to follow my passion.”
On Saturday, the son of Carol and Isaac Shainblum of Scripps Ranch will
graduate from Brooks Institute with a bachelor’s degree in professional
photography.
The video, one of several stunning projects he’s made, won New York-based
Vimeo’s Staff Pick award, is titled Welcome Home: A San Diego Timelapse
Journey and lasts almost 4 minutes.
Huffington Post reported:
Shainblum’s magical time-lapse video, Welcome Home, makes us want to head
south, where violet sunsets and palm trees under twinkling stars turn the
San Diego skyline into a celestial cityscape. ... Shainblum’s view of San
Diego puts everyone else’s hometown pride to shame.
“Most people only get to experience the tourism side,” Shainblum writes in
the video’s description. “I wanted to showcase San Diego from the eyes of
somebody who has lived there their entire life.”
The shots were mostly taken in January and February, with a few in March, he
said. Days in the field totaled 20 to 30, but “the edit was by far the
hardest and most time consuming part. .. It definitely took more than 100
hours.”
By Thursday, it had almost almost 60,000 views as Twitter and Facebook
shared the link.
Shainblum says used digital still cameras and a Dynamic Perception Stage
Zero Motorized Dolly Slider and Emotimo TB3 Pan/Tilt Head to create the
motion in the time lapse.
The background music was True Love by Hooray for Earth.
Why that choice?
“It is one of my songs to listen to while I go driving to shoot,” he said.
“I just think the song really fit the emotion that I wanted to portray in
the film.”
Currently a freelancer, Shainblum sells footage and creates videos. But no
money is coming directly from the Vimeo video.
“However, I license out my time-lapse footage to companies and
organizations all around the world,” he said.
And his future projects?
“I have some projects that I will be announcing in the near future on my
Facebook and Twitter pages,” he said. “I can tell you that there will be a
ton of ‘above cloud’ action—similar to some of my shots in my first
film EXISTENCE A Timelapse Project.”
And will he return to San Diego?
“I have not figured out my path quite yet,” he said. “I can definitely
see myself either living in Los Angeles or San Diego in the future.”
