Hyperlapse of a drive from Santa Cruz to San Francisco (up Highway 1, via Half Moon Bay). Shot on Rivian Drive Cam.

Around 40 minutes of planes landing at Heathrow compressed into a tiny planet timelapse. Shot from the departure level at Terminal 5.

Hyperlapse of the drive from San Francisco to the Russian River and back again. Shot on Rivian Drive cam, editied in DaVinci Resolve and euro-trash music generated by Gemini.

Previously I've just done this with the front camera, but the Rivan has four and so I set up a multi-cam edit with 130GB of footage. I wish the side cameras were pointed a bit higher, but they are designed for parking rather than coastal views so I haven't opened a support ticket.

A time lapse of the Milky Way over Casini Ranch campground near Duncan Mills, California.

Hyperlapse from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe:

I-80, SR 49, SR20, I-80 some more, SR 267 to Kings Beach.

This didn't look like a terrible idea the morning of December 26 (Boxing Day), the weather forecast was good. Google Maps predicted a little under four hours. Then it started to snow. And then there were many crashes, I-80 shut in both directions and the resulting jam took over six hours to clear.

Most of the hyperlapse runs at a 80-130x speedup. The jam portion is over 1000x.

In case you are insane here is the full drive, minus charging and food stops:

Brief time lapse of sunset looking towards the Ponte 25 de Abril (a mashup of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges) in Lisbon, Portugal.

Timelapse of sunset, moonrise and sunrise from Homer in Alaska.

Timelapse shot from Panoramic Park at the top of Yerba Buena Island. This features the Point of Infinity sculpture, the Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Angel Island, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco.

Time lapse of the L Taraval light rail from West Portal station to the San Francisco Zoo. The L shut down during the pandemic and then years of construction replaced the tracks (and water lines, and sewers). It finally returned in September of 2024. I made a time lapse of the construction phase outside my house.

A hyperlapse of the ~4hour drive from San Francisco to Shasta Lake in California. Shot on Rivian Drive Cam. Details for getting usable footage from that here. Edited in DaVinci Resolve.
