A quick video of photos I’ve uploaded to flickr this summer. Made with this script.

Flickr 2024

As usual I’ve stitched up all the photos I’ve posted to flickr this year into a video.
I’ve uploaded to Vimeo this year as YouTube has been giving me random messages about having to login on embedded videos. This even when I’ve logged in on youtube.
I also had a bit of bother with the script as I got a few forbidden noticed. I fixed it by adding a user agent to the curl part and then by changing the url to the downloaded one.

As has become custom I’ve made a video of my years flickr photos. I edited the script a little to use larger images & added a different sound track.
A year of Flickr

Another year, another collection of photos
As usual made with few tweaks of this gist. The featured image made with a similar script. Got a tag for these things now: flickr year, need to find a few posts. I’ve been doing these since 2014 time flies!
Thanks for the love Joe,
Just when I think I’ll get rid of the sidebar. They do seem to have gone out of fashion. I guess I’ll keep mine till they come back in😉
Ds106, was/is a wonderful course on ‘digital storytelling’ that has run in several universities but allows anyone to join in. A source of a lot of fun and a lot of learning about owning your own space.
The video is in the style of the now disappeared online service pummelvision. After it went I wrote a script to replicate it.
Another two ways of looking at the year’s flickr
A year ago yesterday I posted 2020 in a photo which was the result of a ds106 daily create. I ran my video of a year’s flickr photos through and script that averaged them and a slitscan processing process. Details on that post.
I decided to try the process with this years. I am not sure if the results are interesting or not. I did enjoy the process. This years photos stopped in October.
Here is the video again
and the results:
Here is the montage of all the pictures. I wonder if there are any other ways to play with the years set?
Another year another flickr video

Since 2014 I’ve been making “movies” with my flickr photos for the year. I make them with a script which downloads the years photos puts them together into a movie and, use to, add music. The Music bit is broken (https) so I downloaded some manually.
This year pretty much stopped in October, then I got covid in November and have not been out much since.
I also average the photos ( below) and montage them for the featured image. This year I made a version of the script to download wee square images for the montage (average & montage scripts here).
I enjoy both the process and watching my photos flickr by. I like the fact that I can easily tweek bit of the script or run the video creation again quickly to try out different speeds, music etc.
My Year in Flickrs
All the photos I’ve posted to flickr this year, stitched together. I’ve updated the script a bit from this one, need to get the gist up to date too after some tidying.
