Austin City Limits (ACL), PBS’ signature tv show showcasing live rock performances, recently tapped photographer Jonathan Jackson to shoot a time-lapse video of Pearl Jam’s show. The band’s performance commemorates the 35th anniversary of ACL, which also boasts itself as the longest running music series in American television history.
The show airs live on November 21st, and Pearl Jam recently posted Jonathan’s time-lapse video to their website. It’s generated 12,000 views of Jonathan’s video in only a few days:
To create the time lapse, Jackson shot one photograph every 6 seconds. This took place over an hour and a half, covering the setup of the show and the performance.
Jonathan considers Austin City Limits to be “one of Austin’s greatest assets,” and feels that helping “celebrate ACL’s 35th year is a thrill beyond words.”
35 years ago, the show focused on performances by the best Texas bands, and they’ve since gone on to feature the likes of Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Arcade Fire, R.E.M, and too many others to mention here. Their site lists almost everyone who’s performed on the show, and includes long excerpts of performances by many of the artists, worth a view if you like the band.
Newshour with Jim Lehrer also used some of Jackson’s footage in a story about ACL’s anniversary. Which was great for Jonathan to hear, because it’s the only news show that he watches.
In addition to his music work, Jonathan shoots architectural interior and exterior photography, including a recent project covering every architecturally-significant structure featured in the 2009 AIA Austin’s home tour.
On a side note: I just found out that his daughter’s first birthday is Dec. 5th, only four days before my son’s! And if you weren’t aware, Jonathan Jackson is an Austin-based photographer with Wonderful Machine.
