Danube River Lock Opening

I recently went on a trip down the Danube River. One new experience I had was passing through 13 locks. Near Bratislava, I decided to take a series of pictures so that I could later use them and learn how to make a movie out of still shots.

As the lock began opening, I situated myself comfortably at the bow and took a picture about every 30 seconds. Later I uploaded those pictures to my computer, learned how to manipulate them in iMovie, and created a short movie. The effects I used are black and white and aged film. I set the shots to last 16/100ths of a second, resulting in a 27 second movie. It was like watching an old silent movie. Here it is:

The effect really is like a turn of the century movie. Very cool.
