Let’s do the time warp again…
Okay, so from last night around the time I got home until today just after I got home, I captured 2762 individual frames in an attempt to make a stop motion video of last night’s snow storm. One frame was captured every ~30 seconds, then those were all squished into a video running at 30 frames per second, making each second of cover 15 minutes.
The video is available here if you would like to see it:
I apologize about the screen in the window, but it is non-trivial to remove it. Also, it appears the window is much dirtier than I thought, but I was having a hard time telling that last night, so I just ended up shooting through the dirty window. Ah well, at least it’s kinda nifty.
I’m sure there will be plenty of other snow storms this year. Next time I really want to have a camera that can be controlled by Apple’s Image Capture and have each photo taken automatically downloaded to the local machine. Now that could make for some nifty time lapse video.
Neat! It was especially cool watching the snow cleanup zipzipzip!
Thanks. :) I kinda wish I had done a shot every second or two (or ten?) and maybe been more selective, but that would be quite a few more frames and a lot more work. Maybe next time once I have a better place to put the camera.
i think that was my favorite part! :)
nice.
I have some quicktimes of webcam timelapse films here: http://yorgle.cis.rit.edu/Movie/
Thanks. :)
By the way, might you know about this? Imagine HD-res time lapses. Properly exposed, moving clouds, nice sunsets, etc. :D
That is extremely cool. I have a nice Mac setup right by our balcony. Might try that myself, if we EVER get a snow storm here in Finland. (I am beginning to think we will never have snow here again.) I’ll have to look into the various ways I can do that.
Thanks. :) The snow storm seemed a bit unusual for around here, too. But the again, Michigan’s weather is hardly what one would call consistent. Last year on New Year’s Eve / New Year’s Day it was in the 50s.
for some reason that file wont play on my computer. weird
Do you have QuickTime 7 or some other player which will handle H.264-encoded videos installed?
very cool! did you use the isight camera for that?
Yep, that I did…
