After many false starts, I finally got off my butt and produced last year's Firefly video (2008). Big thanks to MetalKT for her awesome sound track. It fits perfectly!
Here's my time lapse video of Firefly 2009. I had a mishap with my camera on Thursday after 30 minutes of shooting (perhaps it was the rain?) The short of it is that I'm missing all the footage from Thursday and Friday. Fortunately, I did manage to get the camera work again for all of Saturday and Sunday.

Many of you have pointed out that I have 4 camera angles in my original BM 2007 time-lapse film. So what about the rest of the footage that ended up on the proverbial "cutting room floor"? Well, I dug some of it back up and made a shorter 5-minute film showing the "long view" (or wide angle) from the Burning Truck from Wednesday until we pack up on Monday morning.
Turns out I actually have a bunch of Burning Man videos from years past already online on YouTube. Most of them are tours of the art or our camp, but a few of them are spontaneous videos that just happened. Here are a bunch of my favorites...
Here's a short walkthru of our camp, Automatic Subconscious. Shown in the video is the front of the camp and the private shade structure which leads to the kitchen and out the back to our shower/camping area.

Since the debut of my time-lapse video of Burning Man 2007, a whole slew of people have asked me a myriad of questions about the video. These questions have ranged from "How did you do it?" to "How much did it cost you?" to "Where did you get the idea?" to technical questions on the specifics of my cameras and equipment. Instead of tell the story over and over ad nauseum, I figured that a good FAQ style question-and-answer session would cover most of the bases and if any other questions arise, I can always update this FAQ later.
Here's both parts of the Burning Man 2007 time-lapse video played back-to-back.
This video is the first part of the time-lapse view of my Burning Man camp, Automatic Subconscious. It features 4 different camera angles and includes the "early" burning of the Man, a gorgeous sky/cloud sequence, a few dust storms, and the rainbow that appeared on Friday as well as the trip back to Boston on the "Burning Truck".
