Montreal – An Eastern Circumnavigation Video

This is a time-lapse video of a car trip I made around the eastern half of Île de Montréal in December of 2009.

The music track is “Comme des Enfants” by Cœur de Pirate  from her 2008 self-titled debut album. It and her recently released sophomore album “Blonde” are available on iTunes.

This video was shot with Canon 5D mark II using a 28mm f/1.8 lens and a MacGyvered/ghetto rig that involved my Induro tripod, Manfrotto head and using my laptop bag as a mounting weight. Here’s a picture of the setup:
