Be Excellent To Each Other :: View topic

WHEN:
Saturday April 5, 2008
4pm - 11pm

WHERE:
The The Durrell Arms
704 Fulham Road,
London SW6 5SB
0871 971 6970

The meet will be just like any other meet you may have been to or heard about, the only difference is that later on in the evening the winners of the E-ON Awards will be announced, and, if present, duly crowned. No doubt we'll have some swag to give out and perhaps some surprise guests too.

Voting for the award finalists (nominated by Fanfest goers back in November and revealed in the latest E-ON) will begin very soon - preceded by a Dev Blog, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Needless to say that you won't have to be an E-ON reader to vote or attend - like all EVE players meet, this one is all about getting together and sharing EVE experiences.

The Durrell Arms is the pub that's been chosen and it's a very decent and spacious place. It's a 5-10 minute walk from Parson's Green tube, a bit longer from Fulham Broadway or Hammersmith stations. Those coming from further afield can get there from Clapham Junction train station by hopping on a 295 bus and getting off at Dawes Rd. EVE TV hosted a meet there last year that went down well, so the landlady is happy for a re-run. Although the pub is listed as an over-21s place, if you're younger (but 18 or over, of course) do take some ID with you - you should be fine.

Since I'll be in the US attending the meet over there, a suitable replacement will be recruited to handle the presentation duties in London.

I had a crack at making a time-lapse video of London from my window, but I forgot to turn off the lights in the room the camera is in, so there are lots of reflections. I'll try it again when we go away for the weekend, or something. Here's what I've done, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lay8gLm8UjU If you look on the far left you can see the Eye going round and round (especially at night), and there are some really nice sunbeams coming through the clouds just before sunset.

That'd be cracking on a cloudless day, or done a bit slower so the clouds didn't whizz by quite so fast - maybe from mid-afternoon to night time so that you could enjoy the transition

Looks really good. I can't remember if you have curtains you could close around the camera at night - you're getting some reflection off the windows with the lights on in the room. EDIT - Dur, you said exactly that in your post. Thicky me.

Get a better day and a tripod and you might have something you can sell. Check out the London timelapse stuff on http://www.revostock.com http://www.revostock.com/FileCloseup.html?&ID=34482 For example. There's better on there.

Sell? Also - how would a tripod help (I have 2, but I can't see how to use it).

A tripod will let you set the camera up at the ideal position and it will have a spirit level. A polarising filter will help eliminate any reflection problems as well. This is how to set up a tripod at your window:

I'm more interested in what the interval between shots is? I also think it looks better on a cloud day, otherwise it'd just be a series of jerky images that get steadily darker. The clouds give it a nice bit of consistency.

Mutual backslapping for having played an online game? Listen to yourself, man.

E-ON? Presumably that's not the energy company? Why would the energy company sponsor an EVE awards night?
