I live close to nature. I regularly go for a run in the countryside. Over several years, during my runs, I’ve taken pictures from the same position, always roughly the same angle. I had a vague idea in the back of my mind, as an "artistic" project. One day, I’d turn those photos into a time-lapse video, one that would show the passage of seasons across a single place.
Spoiler, here’s the work in progress:
However, I knew that this project would take ages. I have no experience in image manipulation and video making. My knowledge of codecs is that the movie I have doesn’t play on my Internet box.
The amazing progress in coding assistants made this project possible. I hate the term "vibe coding", and I hope I provided accurate technical direction, but I admit I didn’t do anything on my own. I just fed my instructions to the assistant, and it did the job.
In this multi-part series, I aim to reflect on my actions.
