Everest - Elia Saikaly A time lapse short film








 Experience the beauty of Mt. Everest at night in time-lapse. One of the most rewarding parts of the journey was being able to share it with thousands of students on http://epals.com and http://www.findinglife.ca Here's a bit of what I endured at the end to make this possible http://www.eliasaikaly.com/2013/05/in... While most climbers slept, I attempted to capture some of the magic that the Himalayan skies have to offer while climbing to the top of the world. Comprised of thousands of photographs, processed and assembled on Mt. Everest. Shot on a Canon 5D Mark II Edited in Final Cut Pro Processed in Adobe LightRoom Movies compiled in Quicktime Music: 'A heartbeat away' by SoundPlex - Found on http://goo.gl/2iEFb I hope you enjoy it.
