Amtrak CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR - Part 3

Stop Motion Movie from Chicago to Emeryville


Overview

This page summarizes my attempt to create stop motion movies of the scenery from the train window. The photos are taken at every five second and more than 16,000 photos in total are used to create three stop motion movies.

With GPS recorder, the train route and speed are also recorded, that are the other source of the stop motion movies.
