Vivid festival Light walk time-lapse: Sydney 09

The Light walk is part of the Vivid winter festival, and a series of 'light sculpture instillation's' were placed around Circular Quay.
Great stuff though I feel that if this festival is organized again, it needs more moving light displays as I found the pieces a bit more dynamic.
As did other spectators who were ohhhhing and ahhhhhing just like crowds do at a fireworks display.
Also be nice if there was more playing around with shadow and reflection.

I thought I'd get a bit of experience using RAW with After Effects. Also haven't done any night shooting before, so I spent a couple of nights down at Sydney's Vivid light Walk capturing raw stills for time lapse.

I took these on my Ricoh GX100 using interval shooting and saving as DNG. Most of the frames were one second exposures, taken every ten seconds. The poor old GX was pushing pretty hard to get the DNG's saved in time to trigger a new exposure.
I pulled the frames into After Effects using the RAW loader.
Really nice having so much control over the individual frames, but processing the files maxed out the PC, big time.
