Downtown Chicago 1986
| Visit Michigan Avenue, Daley Center, State Street, Buckingham Fountain and other sites around Downtown Chicago in the Spring of 1986. |
| Around May or June 1986, for high school AP English class, I created a music video by shooting scenes of Downtown Chicago on VHS. 23 years later, I've digitized the video. This re-cut video includes some of the original graphics created for the video on an Apple IIe and much of the original footage. The footage been reordered to present a video tour of downtown. With some of the tools in iMovie '09, a good deal of the "shake" in the original video has been stabilized, and the color of the faded VHS improved a bit -- though iMovie '09 isn't powerful enough to make it much better and, as I recall, the technique used for creating the original video involved something then called "Video Dubbing" which resulted in a second or even third generation copy. |
| Amazingly enough, YouTube's AudioSwap had Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G minor which accompanied parts of this video in it's original form, so I've selected it for your listening pleasure. |

Driving in Chicagoland
| An experiment with my new ATC2K wearable/mountable camera. An August 14, 2009, drive from the Fullerton entrance on Chicago's Kennedy Expressway to the Tri-State Tollway near the Lake Cook exit. The video is sped up 800% to make the ride a lot quicker than real time and it includes a You Tube AudioSwap file of a famous Mozart Sonata. |
