In my previous posts I described the set up and planning for one main camera. In the video, there are two other views from other cameras that were shooting at the same time. One camera was clamped to a pipe and captured the installation of the inverter boxes on the side of the building. It was shooting a time lapse at 1 second intervals. The footage was then sped up in FCP. The third camera was a Canon G12 set on a tripod. It wasn't shooting stills but rather video. I then sped up the footage by 20x, giving it a timelapse effect.

I would like to thank Trina Solar for bringing me on board to do this project. Also, I want to thank all of the staff of the American Lung Association in California for all of their warm generosity. They really rocked! Last but not least, a ton of gratitude goes out to the crew at Everyday Energy. Everyone from their management to the guys working on the roof were super helpful and communicative about what was going on with schedule and logistics. They helped me out throughout the project and were extremely nice the whole time!
