WATCH: Every Exciting Moment of Chicago's Gay Pride Parade Squeezed Into Just 10 Minutes
A time-lapse video compresses 24 hours of Sunday's festivities, including the after party, from a camera high atop North Halstead Street.
A newly released time lapse video captures the entire Chicago Pride celebration in just 10 minutes.
A camera placed on a balcony in the 3300 block of North Halsted Street captured the footage. And the idea is the brainchild of the same photographer who flew a drone over Northalsted Market Days 2014: Chicagoan and avid photographer Rob Sall.
Sall told ChicagoPride.com this year's parade video is the result of more than 24 hours of continuous picture taking, from parade setup to midnight walks of shame.
"We wanted to do a full-day time lapse to show [the parade] from the time they tow the cars at 5 a.m. until the next morning. I started it at 5 a.m. Sunday morning, and it ran until 7 a.m. Monday morning. It's 18,311 pictures, or 44.12 GB of data.
"I just mounted the camera on the front railing of our balcony and let it run for the day," Sall continued. "Picture were taken every five seconds to show the entire process. Barren street, railings up, the flood of people, parade, cleanup, and then how the street at night are still chaos and packed all night long."
Sall told ChicagoPride.com he had hoped to do the time lapse last year, in addition to the drone footage of Market Days, but his mounted camera didn't work. This year, he ironed out all the kinks to get all the footage in one successful shot.
