1. Cover creation
3 months ago
After working on the latest cover for Macworld Magazine I wanted to show what is involved in making a cover. I focused on the three main areas: the photography, photoshop and design. I chose a time lapse format to convey lots of information in a small amount of time. The only drawback of time lapse is that since half a day goes by in 30 seconds, the whole process seam so easy! Lots of details were left out of the design process (like the cover meetings and rounds of layout options). I began to photograph the design process after the layouts had already been narrowed down to just three cover designs.
On the technical side, for the time lapse video, I used the Canon 5D Mark II with a 24mm-70mm zoom. I chose the 5D because of its great image quality with high ISO's. Canon's sRAW1 gave me the flexibility of a RAW file with the file size of a jpeg. The actual Macworld cover was taken with a Phase One P65+ digital back attached to a 4x5 Sinar X camera with a 65mm lens.
Many thanks to Rob Schultz for allowing me to invade his office and literally shoot over his shoulder.

Love and Aloha, iamKP-
i was wondering also, what were the intervals between shutters?
Minh Bui, for the most part the intervals were 5 sec. For somethings like the walking it was faster.
Perfect-Day-Images, I used Canon EOS Utility to capture still images about every 5 seconds. QuickTime was used to assemble them and Final Cut Pro to make the movie.
I'm not a Mac user, but after watching that, I *want* to be! :)
Where'd you get that giant glazed donut? Do want!
thanks
Great work.
My favorite frame from the video: flic.kr/p/6NNdPk
Seriously, I always assumed that a lot of work went into pictures like that, but I had no idea how much!

Many thanks to share this movie !!!
Best regards from Barcelona !!!
I just have one question : what's the font you used for the title of that vid ? I think I kind of fell in love with it. ;-)
Harry Cartwright: We found The Brokenmusicbox on myspace and contacted them for the use of their music. We will not use music unless permitted. You can try contacting other musicians directly and just hope for the best. Good luck.
thank you very much for this video though, hope to see more videos from you and i also check your blog daily now :)
Saludos!
Kudos on the piece. I REALLY liked the way you moved the camera around during the intervals. Most people would stick the camera on a tripod and let the scene play on in front of the lens. You got the viewer involved and I loved it.
Cheers
Excelente video.
Mind blowing!!
