episode six … the Florida scrublands

Greetings from Orlando, everyone!

Today, our family ended up taking an impromptu nature walk through the Florida scrublands, after a planned Everglades boat tour was rescheduled due to high winds.

The trail was fun, and featured lots of weird and different flora (I especially liked the sand pines—tall, towering, spindly trunks with branches way up at the top.

The trail was long and windy, and not at all well marked. I did feel a little bit like Alice—lost, and with no parents in sight. Oh, right, I'm supposed to be the parent. Fortunately, we did eventually find our way back to our car.

I started shooting various short time-lapse videos, to capture the unsettling feeling of being completely out of your element and disoriented, but on a bright, sunny afternoon. I used a FANTASTIC free time-lapse iPhone app called GorillaCam.

  1. Nice job Scott, good interplay between text, images and sound. Wondering how you managed to produce a video w/o the watermark? Animoto insists on including it in my video and it is driving me crazy!

  2. Super cool stuff, Scott. I really liked what you created. Loved the carnival-like loopiness of the music, and the matruschka is a nice touch!
