Happy Islamic New year

SINGAPORE - This year's National Day Parade (NDP) and show turned out to be a memorable visual spectacle, and The Straits Times captured all of it in a time-lapse video.

In the 3min 13sec clip, one will be able to experience various points of view, from a performer looking at thousands in the audience, to up high to see the intricate formations created by the performers.

Three cameras - one on stage at The Float @ Marina Bay and two at the 32-storey Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore hotel rooftop - were set up on Thursday (Aug 9) to snap a photo of the parade every second across four hours, starting from 4.30pm.ST executive photojournalist Benjamin Seetor, 39, who produced the video with photojournalist Gavin Foo, said: "It was our first time doing a time-lapse video of the entire NDP, and from multiple angles too."

They spent about five hours producing the video, which was stitched together using about 5,400 of the 23,728 shots that were captured.

Mr Foo, 38, said it was the longest time-lapse video he has worked on while using so many cameras.

"It was challenging because everything had to go smoothly. The batteries had to be charged and the weather had to be good,"
