Very nice.

Sweet! Nicely done.

Well done, sir. I love little snapshot glances into people’s lives — so fascinating.

hm. no physical human interaction. I’m a little sadder for having seen this.

@jennamarino I was kind of thinking that too, considering how different mine would look from Garrett’s.

@Anton @tomcarmony Thanks!

@Simmy Thanks! Your turn now.

@jennamarino Well, I did interact with the people at the laundromat and deli, but I didn’t record those. Although you’re right in general, most week days I don’t interact with humans in person much. I want to see your day!

Cool video! Are you using the 18-105 kit lens to shoot this, or something else?

@Josh I was using the 50mm 1.8 and 28mm 2.8 primes.

This is rad. I would be soooo late for work if I tried to record my morning routine though.

Quick question: About how much time did you spend editing this together?

I could see myself getting overly anal about the production quality and spending way too much time on it until I got frustrated (thinking of my own history with video) - run-on sentence for the win.

@Anton I spent about an hour or two.

Rad.

How’d you find holding the D90 through all of this? I find it’s sometimes a bit tricky getting the focus right and holding the camera at the same time. It’s definitely a photo camera first with video as a bonus feature.

Reminds me of a JCPenny ad.

@twatson I used a tripod from time to time. Honestly, the biggest issue I have with video right now is I can’t figure out how to get the exposure to stay locked without holding down the lock button. I really need to read the book to figure out how to set it so I don’t have to hold that stupid button the whole time.

Well done…. must be the most fascinating video I saw recently, seriously!

Fantastic! You should do these every once in a while, when it gets varied.

what is that thing at 18 seconds?! i want it.

@garrettmurray Yeah, I keep meaning to read through the manual a bit more to figure out all the features with the video. I jumped right in and started using it since I was so familiar with all the Nikon controls but as a result my knowledge of how all the video works is pretty limited. I just might have to try this tomorrow…

Very nice. This is exactly what I want a D90/1D Mark II for.

Do you always wear a hat whilst you email?

I’ll be giving this a try tomorrow with my Leica D-LUX 3 camera, which shoots decent video in 16:9. I’m not sure how it’ll turn out given that I’ve never shot more than 30 seconds of video with it, but I guess we’ll find out.

That was crazy, crazy cool, Garrett.

I follow you on Tumblr. This is just fantastic. Happy life coding ;)

@Makenosound Not always, no, but I do wear it a good amount of time while working.

@Matthew Anderson Thanks!

Yes. Awesome!

this was really, really great. well done. i gotta start thinking that far ahead.

Kudos! My video would be much less exciting. Should I still make one if it only consists of work, traffic and TV?

Wait, no donkey porn yesterday?!

But seriously - really great stuff. It might be cool to include an approximate indication of the time too.

And, damn - that sand sandwich looked GOOD.

That is awesome! I do not like your Asics footwear though. So 2005 …

loved it.

You have lots of gadgets. :)

Nicely done… I’ve been wondering about that 28mm prime myself.

Regarding locking the exposure, it’s super easy: press the Info button on the back of your D90, then press it one more time and scroll to the last menu item on the right— Assign AE-L/AF-L button. Press OK then scroll down to the 4th option— AE lock (hold), and press OK.

Now go into Live View, point your camera towards what you want to expose for and press the AE-L/AF-L button. You should see “AE-L” at the bottom left of the monitor (it shouldn’t disappear but should remain there). The camera will now consistently expose for the scene you just pointed it at without you having to hold down the AE-L/AF-L button. Simply press the AE-L/AF-L button again when you’re done to tell the camera to “quit” exposing for the scene… Hope that helps!

Nice man, loved it. I love how you even “faked’ buying groceries so the girls would think you are responsible. We all know you buy groceries online.

really super - i enjoyed that (((: made me smile a lot!! congratulations on explore #1 !!!!!!!

Awesome.

what textmate theme are you using ?

@ashaleigh YES.

@twoeyes I don’t watch donkey porn! At least not every day. OR EVER!

@tdSkate I love the tigers. I have 3 pairs. 2005 or not.

@wilsonminer It’s a sickness. I know.

@sixminutes Thanks! I actually did that exact thing the other day and it didn’t work (I swear!) and I just did it again and it did. Yay!

@Josh I do buy groceries online, it’s true, but I buy little things day-to-day locally. You bastard.

I like the video. The man of modern speedy epoch. My fave. Congratulations on Explore #1-Front page .

Friends and Rock Band 2 were the highlights for me. haha. Awesome video.

@uteart Thanks! Glad you liked it!

@TrajanK It’s a custom version of Twilight BG. I’ll post it to Textmate Themes eventually.

@aviana2 Thanks very much—I didn’t even realize it was in explore!

@thesaurus Those were sort of the highlights of the day for me too!

fantastic video..

fascinating! And well done for getting to Number 1 with a video, excellent stuff.

wonderful! Very well thought of! Well done for your Explore! :-)))

I’m amazed. and with a D90. Gotta get one! cheers
