Thanksgiving Montage

I enjoyed Thanksgiving in Menlo Park with my family — I flew in on Wednesday afternoon, we had Thanksgiving on Thursday, and we went in to San Francisco for some touristy bits on Friday.

I took my camera along and took a whole bunch of photos which I’ll post once I finish processing/correcting them. They’re mostly from Thanksgiving day, as San Francisco was a bit drizzly on Friday and not terribly conductive to photographs.

My brother also borrowed a MiniDV camcorder from a friend and filmed most of the festivities. And, unlike many consumers who are content with raw footage, Adrian edited the footage into a Thanksgiving montage (warning: it’s a 27 MB QuickTime file). He edited the file on his 12" PowerBook, I’m guessing with iMovie.

Due to the gamma differences between platforms, Adrian also recommends increasing your brightness if you’re viewing the file on a PC (though it looked fine without much tweaking on my box). And the two people you probably won’t recognize are two of Adrian’s friends who joined us for Thanksgiving, Dylan (one of Adrian’s roommates, with shorter hair) and Jason (with longer hair).

And if you’re curious about the song playing throughout, Adrian tells me that it’s “My Angel Rocks Back and Forth” by Four Tet (MP3s; album review).
