Being in the video business, I’m no stranger to artifact removal; in fact, I did a bit of that earlier this week. I had some videos where the second camera operator poked the front of their camera into the shot a bit, and the boom operator (me, in one case) ducked the boom pole into the corner of the shot a couple of times as well. It was a hostile shooting environment, where that kind of thing happens. Anyway, I spent part of my week removing those kinds of things as well as some wire removal and even a pen that someone dropped right in the middle of the video. So removing a few bugs can’t be so hard, can it?<\/p>\n
Actually, in this case, it’ll have to be a frame-by-frame job. I’ll do it, but I’m not sure when. Perhaps my stubbornness and the fact that I’m really<\/b> tweaked about this will step up the timetable. I have to review the HD footage tomorrow, which I shot at 1080p resolution, but I still think the sequence above is my favorite unless I find a better one in the rest of my footage. If not, I’m in for some aggressive Photoshop. After I go through the rest of my photos and the HD video I’ll be posting some of it here…along with that Memorial Bridge thing I teased about earlier this week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/center>I took an HD video camera and my still camera up to the wind farm north of town Thursday to capture a time lapse of some turbine assembly. Look down a couple of posts and you can see that I knew there were a few ready for the final stages of construction, so I was confident that leaving work to hang out up north would be productive. I wasn’t counting on the pests, however. Here’s one of the time lapse clips (roll over the bottom of the image if you don’t see the playback controls):<\/p>\n
