GDC08: A time-lapse farewell

by Zack Stern { Feb 25th 2008 at 8:57AM }

GDC 2008, we were just beginning to get to know you. After a week of hectic posting, you're already gone.

While we're still catching up with final posts from the show, we bid San Francisco farewell with this time-lapse video. Because nothing captures the bittersweet end of a tradeshow like time-lapse.

Shots include the crowd filling into the Fable 2 and Portal sessions, respectively. Plus, you'll see attendees swarm through the lunch area and might catch a glimpse of your favorite bloggers. For the full effect -- especially if you're trying to spot people in the crowds -- be sure to watch the HD original in full-screen.

very groovy... i'm probably stating the obvious, but this must have been planned from the outset, otherwise you guys took way too many pictures of the same thing.

Damn, Zack. I was saving all my maddest props, and it looks like they're going to you.

Thanks Richard and Alistair. And Richard, you're in (at least) two shots. Where's Waldo? needs a comeback.

Agreed zack, this is a class act.
On another note, its really cool seing joystiq evolving into something really professional.

Its ahrd to find a news site with the same candor, sleekness, and polish, without being overly saturated with ads and junk.

see ya next year indeed~
