Time Lapse

treetx · Mar 15, 2009

Anyone play around with time lapse? It is super easy. These are with a Canon point and shoot at about 10 second intervals. You can set the intervals as you wish on ANY Canon point and shoot but it is an aftermarket program you have to download onto your SD card.

Cool! Those guys are FAST! :lol:

I remember one a while back of guys pruning a large oak.

treetx · Mar 15, 2009

I also did a short one of a sled ride (non soaring) on my hang glider.

I think it could be cool on the hang glider with a soaring flight and shorter intervals.

Yep I remeber that, a burr oak. He used a video camera though and dropped most of the frames. I wish Nikon's better DSLRs had intervalometers built in. It costs a few hundred bucks to add one.

Ever tried a rotax powered ultralite Treetx?

treetx · Mar 15, 2009

I have towed behind one. This is a friend towing on my old wing behind a rotax 912.

I have rode along in some of the lighter trikes with the rotax.

The time lapse is really easy to use on the canon camera you can also add scripts for motion detection, etc. If you are interested, google "CHDK".

jomoco · Mar 15, 2009

Wouldn't it be cool to have a pair of goggles that could actually give you an eagle eye's view up there with just the touch of a button Treetx?

jomoco

treetx · Mar 15, 2009

If that eagle can see thermals, then YES!

sotc · Mar 15, 2009

cool nate, so how do you do that?

rumination · Mar 15, 2009

My Pentax point and shoot has an interval shooting feature but I have no idea how to put the shots together into a video. How do you do it Nate?

treetx · Mar 15, 2009

I used windows movie maker and this tutorial. It way way easier than I thought it would be.

treetx · Mar 15, 2009

Oh, you can also use the CHDK to put a remote on the camera. Best one I saw was a wireless door bell used as a remote. $20 and way better performance than an IR remote.

I think it is cool what you can do with these cameras that cost less than $200.

Thanks, Nate. I'm not using Windows so I'll have to use a different piece of software but that link give me the general idea of how to do it. This should be fun. I've always wanted to make time lapse films.

treetx · Mar 16, 2009

Maybe try this. I found this before I found the movie maker thing. http://alex.polvi.net/2008/10/22/makers-faire-timelapse-using-chdk-and-mencoder/

rumination · Mar 16, 2009

Thanks, Nate, I found similar info on another site. I'm going to give that a try sometime soon.

Che · Mar 16, 2009

Here's a time lapse site I have in my favorites.

rumination · Mar 16, 2009

Cool site, Che. It's given me some good ideas. Thanks!

Interval Shooting is cool. I got these yesterday with the intervalometer.

Also all 160 pics together in a time lapse. The intervals were way too long. I thought it was on 2 sec but it defaults to 12 every time you power down/up.

So, 160 pics every 12 sec. Interval is way too long to make a time lapse that makes much sense.

Here's one I did today as an experiment. The framerate looks out of whack when I watch in on YouTube, though.

It does seem to stutter. Is it normal before upload?

Beautiful place!

rumination · Mar 19, 2009

Yes, it was normal before uploading. It must have been the YouTube conversion that caused the stutter.

rumination · Mar 19, 2009

If you have 7 minutes to relax and enjoy some stunningly beautiful time lapse filmmaking check out this youtube vid I found. It's amazing.
