More time-lapse
I've been fascinated by time-lapse for nearly 50 years. When I was a kid, my dad had a movie camera with single-frame capability. We used to do animations with toys, driving model cars around roads drawn on a chalkboard that appeared in front of the toy car and disappeared behind. Fun!
I've done a fair bit since then, including some documentation for a step van that I painted: http://www.bytesmiths.com/Van/PaintMovie.php
I also was an instructor in a natural building program, and did a five-week sequence of building a cob (mud & straw) art studio. Unfortunately, I had battery problems near the end, and it gets choppy: http://www.Bytesmiths.com/Personal/Natural_Building_Skillbuilder_Small.m...
This is nearly 15 minutes long, made up of over 5,000 frames. Titles and effects were done in Photoshop, a frame at a time. The large version is 1.2GB!
16 month T/L project underway
I'm in the midst of a time lapse project that involves the construction of a building that will eventually house a Saturn V rocket. This is my first time lapse effort! My primary camera, a Nikon D200, is mounted in front and just to the side of where the building is going up. I'll use one, maybe 2 others, to capture the actual moving of the 36-story tall rocket into the building next year. I'm trying to find software, other than Quick Pro, to merge the individual images together for editing since I'll be editing in shots from the other cameras at some point along the way. Thanks for the article.
