Daylight Savings
Daylight Savings
Straight from eiopqrtuwy, everyone's favourite spambot, comes one from the Video Suggestion forums. Who says we don't use 'em?
This was a lot of work in post, with compositing, colour-correction and time lapse, but totally worth it in my opinion.
And, yes, we know it's a phone book. Moving on...

Whoa that was trippy. I was wondering what this post meant and then I realized that Graham had just posted the new video.
EDIT: AAAAAAAAAAND It's glorious. Ash ftw!

Septebgust, that's my new favorite fake month, though Junetember was pretty nice as well. Oh and nice shirt in the last scene there Graham, was that from the "Communist Party" thing? I really don't know much about it, only seen it a couple of times.
Great work on the lighting, it came out very realistic, at least as realistic as a hyperactive Sun/Earth's rotation can be. I'd imagine Paul could be winning bets on the sunrises and sets for weeks! (albeit on the new schedule)

that was good.
Reminds me of my years working at a TV station... every DST change I'd wake up, turn on the TV to the channel i worked at, see it wasn't running the correct shows, call the station in a panic & then find out I forgot to change MY clocks.
This went on for 3.5 years so I did this 7 times.

Wow, so much for this week's LRRcast trivia. We will have to think of something else.
Haha. Does this mean my custom title gets squared?
This is why you should buy the Season 1 DVD, people.

If the earth was spinning of its axis fast enough to have a day five minutes long (the length of day is variable during the video between a few seconds and over an hour), then you would fly into space at roughly 35 thousand kilometers an hour along with most of the earth as it tore itself apart.

could be like that Voyager episode where the ship is caught in the atmosphere of a planet that has time move ~20x faster then Voyager's time.
Except now it's the opposite: everything moves faster EXCEPT the earth.
damn. the universe will end that much faster now.

Invoking Voyager in the name of physics is all kinds of wrong.

Actually having the sun be broken would be marginally more realistic. Variable stars changes there brightness over time. While some types can change their brightness enough to mimic the difference between night and day this takes roughly a year. Other types have periods in the minutes or hours but have changes in brightness undetectable by the unaided eye. However you would now have two types of days, one due to the rotation of the earth, the other from the sun's change in brightness.

Edit: The Happy Friar,
If time was moving faster every where except the earth, the length of day would be the same

If time were moving faster everywhere but on Earth, Earth would quickly be fried: the solar energy that previously reached Earth over about a twelve-hour span would (from our perspective) reach us all over a five-minute period. That's 1/144th the time it used to take.
Imagine what sunlight that was intensified to 144 times its normal brightness would do to things. I suspect that would be like taking a magnifying glass and concentrating all the light hitting it to a small region - over every square inch of everything.
Of course, that's if the light kept vibrating at the same frequency, instead of changing to match our local time. If it didn't change, it'd shift to harmless gamma rays.
Conclusion: don't play with temporal anomalies at home, kids. Leave the Science! to the experts.

To me, only a mildly amusing video, but well made up for in an impecable taste in clothing.
The Communist Party, produced by Threadless.
Consume! I recommend Funkalicious.

Edit - Wait a minute! You bastages! You said you wouldn't plan on using DVD exclusive knowledge for the LRRChallenge!

Leave it to Lord Crusher and Melendwyr to make it about the science.
And damn you, Lacerta, I was going to ask that! Curse you for beating me to it! (and man, I don't even have a forum rank yet)
Good video, though. I rofled. I like how you didn't try to explain it or anything, it just was what it was. I enjoyed Jer and Ash's show - Ash, you filled the bimbo host role very well.

that's what made the show so fun to watch.

I guess I should of said time on the surface of the earth moves at "normal" speed. The orbit would be sped up.
