I started sometime in June of 2010 and finished it on August 19, 2011. It wasn’t constant work of course, just working on it every now and then. I’d estimate I have invested anywhere between 250 and 300 hours on it. Most of this was time I spent walking, biking, or riding the bus to locations I was shooting. There are very few locations I used a car to get to. Total frame count is about 28,000 frames and 85 different shots. All the frames weren’t used in the final product as I edited down the clips. You will notice that some of the shots were shaky. San Francisco is a very windy city and even my heavy tripod couldn’t remain still. In hindsight I should have bought a different head. All photos were shot in JPEG and then some light editing in Lightroom. Compiled into .mov clips in Quicktime Pro and then all brought together in Final Cut Pro. <p>-WTK Photography</p></i></blockquote>http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/10646884446http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/10646884446Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:42:26 -0700the citysan franciscovideotimelapse videotimlapse video of san francisco<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqep3sDmf21qdcxwuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My dog Zoe</p>http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/9313405388http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/9313405388Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:59:00 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp9jvw8lFW1qdcxwuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pacific Heights, San Francisco </p>http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/8348978420http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/8348978420Mon, 01 Aug 2011 12:09:32 -0700Pacific HeightsSan Francisco<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnsnexomaV1qdcxwuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Zoe (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a>)</p>http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/7219050456http://valeriefidan.tumblr.com/post/7219050456Sun, 03 Jul 2011 22:32:58 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnsmdk07fy1qdcxwuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">instagram</a></p> <h4>Did you know…</h4> <p>Coconut water contains a very good amount of electrolyte potassium. 100 ml of water has 250 mg of potassium and 105 mg of sodium.

Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth’s climate. The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being. For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
