Hanna Timelapse
Sun 7 Sep 2008 22:51:07
All through Saturday I had a script fetch an image from the WJLA sky cam every 30 seconds to catch Tropical Storm Hanna's progress as it passed over DC, then combined the image sequence into a movie with some loops for background music. Kennedy Center is at lower middle right. I do wish the office staff would turn that webcam back towards the National Mall, though; it's not quite as recognizable as DC otherwise.
This is one of the more interesting timelapses. Music fits wells too.
It's awesome, what script do you use to pull the images down?
I like to say I used curl but in truth it's a PHP thing I threw together which acts like curl, but gives me a web frontend on localhost for ease of use.
