Wow, that is quite the meal.
When I watched the video I counted 6 courses (including dessert) which seemed all pretty decently sized.
It seems as though the camera took pictures a bit more often than two minutes as that would’ve been a very long dinner!
I agree with Josh. It had to be more than every 2 minutes. I was about to say that the V&A staff let the empty dishes sit too long. Interesting way to capture the event though.
Josh – There were six and a half delicious courses. And the camera was actually set to take a photo every two SECONDS, not minutes. The entire meal took about three and a half hours. Thank you to Moms Panelist Amanda Allen and her husband Scott for sparking the idea to do this.
Whoops! Sorry Erin! Things are a little crazy around here. I’ll update.
A delicious stroll through memory lane, thank you. What camera did you use?
It was a GoPro Hero. Very tiny with a fixed wide-angle lens. It is normally meant to capture outdoor sports – things with more light. Not as successful in the low-light situation at V& A’s, but I thought it was fun to play around with.
Amazing! We are going to be eating at the Chef’s Table in the V & A in 2 weeks… Now I have a fun way to capture the meal! What a great idea!
Avidchick – I ate at V&A’s Chef’s Table about a year ago. (Review at http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2010/02/28/victoria-alberts-chefs-table-review/ ) I think this technique would be great at the Chef’s Table because of the much brighter lighting there – the chefs need to be able to see what they’re doing.
Tips on processing: With a shot every two seconds, I ended up with almost exactly 2,000 photos. I input these into iMovie. I set each still to run for 0.1 seconds, which was the shortest option available. A big tip from Amanda and Scott Allen was to make sure you turn off the Ken Burns effect in iMovie and set the stills to fit into the frame.
Have a wonderful time at dinner. It’s a truly spectacular experience.
EEFoster- thanks for the tip. I am actually a video editor by trade, so fortunately I do stuff like this all the time in Avid and Final Cut… Oddly tho, I never thought about doing it for our dinner, so thank you for posting this! I was (and still am) tempted to take one of my HD DVC cameras and record the whole thing… I just wonder if they will think I am crazy if I show up with it 😉
Avidchick – I’m jealous of your video knowledge. I am clearly just an amateur experimenting. I think the staff may have thought I was crazy at first. Israel, the maitre d’, and both our servers asked about the camera. I just told them what it was and that was it. Once I told them what I was doing, no one had any problems.
Enjoy your meal.
