  • Joshua Tree during the 2013 Perseid Meteor Shower

    Joshua Tree during the 2013 Perseid Meteor Shower


    The Perseid meteor shower is one of the most spectacular showers of the year. This year, instead of shooting it myself, I decided to host a workshop to introduce other artists to the wonderful world of capturing nature through timelapse.

    This film was made by our crew of timelapse newbies and myself over 4 days. You’ll see dozens of meteors zip across the sky against a backdrop of the Milky Way. You’ll also see scenes with smoke from the nearby Banning wildfire that occurred during our first day at the workshop.

    About the workshop:
    Taught by timelapse filmmaker Henry Jun Wah Lee, participants learned how to shoot everything from static to multi-axis, day to night, and astro timelapses. The 4 day workshop also covered how to process RAW photos into Ultra HD resolution 4K videos.

    Thanks to Kessler Crane for supplying the motion control devices for our participants. Shot with Kessler Pocket Dolly, Cineslider, Shuttle Pod Mini, Shuttle Pod, Philip Bloom Pocket Dolly, Revolution v2 Head, 3 axis Cinedrive, and Oracle controllers.

  • How to pick up stitches along edge

    How to pick up stitches along edge


    In this DROPS video we show how you can pick up sts along the side of your work.

    Pick up sts along the cast on or bind off edge. Hold the yarn as if you would knit. Put your needle through every stitch, wrap yarn around the needle, and pull through.
    You could also use a crochet hook to grab the yarn, and then put the st on the needle.

  • How to crochet a chain stitch (ch)

    How to crochet a chain stitch (ch)


    In this DROPS video we show you how to crochet a chain stitch (ch).

    Hold the slip knot between your thumb and middle finger on the left hand. Move the hook under and over the yarn, with the yarn held in the hook. Pull the hook and the yarn back through the slip knot to form the first chain stitch. Keep going until you have the number of chains stated in your pattern. When counting stitches, do not count the stitch on the hook.

    It is easy to work too tight, first we show many chain stitchs after each other where we work correctly. When we pull the thread through the loop and got a new st we MUST get along the thickness on that is on the hook (in the video we take the new st far up the crochet hook so that you easily can see what we mean).

    Then we show how NOT to work a chain stitch. Here we work the new stitch only through and let the new st lie on the thin part of the hook instead of the thick part. We then get a chain st that gets shorter and the crochet tension will not be properly with patterns.
