Signal To Noise on Vimeo by Douglas Koke

Time-lapse footage taken at the Very Large Array in Socorro, New Mexico; one of the largest Radio Astronomy Observatories in the world.

 

As a learning exercise, and something to challenge myself, I wanted to try to combine two of my favorite things: motion-graphics and time-lapse photography.

I also wanted to see if I could stretch my editing techniques a little further.

 

The VLA really is a legitimately amazing thing to see in person. If you've ever considered making a visit, you should.

It's an awe-inspiring feat of human engineering, and the surroundings are gorgeous. Unbelievable skies in New Mexico. I caught some nasty weather, but it was still a great experience. I'm definitely going back!
