Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race - H. G. Wells.
After I did the time lapse on the Sunrise video I had the idea of mounting the camera on my bicycle and snapping photos while I rode. So that's what I did for this video. I'm pretty pleased with the video although the tilt bothers me a little bit. I'll have to watch that on the next one.
For the bicycle sound I flipped I used the bicycle that I have up in my apartment. I flipped it over and put a microphone by the rear hub. I tried several versions of the sound track. In my first attempts I tried to simulate the sounds of footsteps and I had a bike bell. All of that was too much, so I simplified things and just recorded the sound of the chain and the occasional coasting hub.
Also, I tried different timings for the still photo. I started with one photo a second, but that was too slow. At half a second per photo it was kind of like a bike riding kind of fast. But the total video length was upwards of three minutes. Way too long for a YouTube video. So I cut it down to 0.01 seconds per frame, which was a low as I could go. It's kind of a fast ride, but it keeps your attention.
