DCP 11: Jay Burlage - HDR Photographer and Videographer

Apr 8

In my 11th episode, I have the privilege of talking to Jay Burlage who is an architect turned HDR and time-lapse filmmaker and innovator. Not only is he an accomplished HDR photographer and filmmaker, he has been published in Make magazine.

Jay talks about how he adapted a Meade telescope mount into a GigaPan-clone nicked-named the "MiLapse" for automating panning while shooting time-lapse.

Jay goes into detail about his involvement with Timescapes.org and Openmoco.org. Our discussion gets really geeky with Jay discussing time-based tone mapping for HDR video and developments in the openmoco project.

Jay also talks about a special PBS project where he is a principle time-lapse photographer. From time to time, Jay's cat makes an occasional appearance. Caution: time-lapse may be habit forming. 16x9 Cinema is not responsible for any problems resulting from time-lapse addiction. Our longest episode yet at over 1 hour, 18 minutes. But well worth the listen! Jay has so much knowledge and interesting ideas that we could have talked for hours. It was a real joy to talk technology and art with Jay.

Truly amazing stuff! Jay is truly a pioneer in do-it-yourself HDR filmmaking. He is one to watch and follow in the field of time-lapse, motion control, and HDR photography and video.
