Movies and pictures from the 13WCEE conference

Demo movies

These are a series of movies that I shot using our Sony DSC-V1 camera. This is a 5 megapixel camera we bought for JCamera/PTP testing which turned out to have inadquate PTP support. However, it can capture MPEG1 movies of any length, limited only by the size of the 'Memory Stick' in the camera. As an experiment, I used this to capture a series of movies at the 13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, where we had a couple of booths and a series of demos where we fractured concrete columns.

Update 2/7/07:

I've had to remove the movies due to SDSC quota issues. Please email if you need a copy. All of these are as they came off the camera, no editing or format conversions performed. All are VGA (640x480), 25fps, with audio.

Due to the number of pictures, I've put them on a separate page. It's a mixed lot; conference, Grouse Grind hike, seaplane tour, some scenery. All taken with the same Sony camera.
