Time-lapse success

Well I'm no Kubrick - but boy am I learning lots from using my new toy and creating these PhotoFilms. The best way to learn is to make mistakes and I am doing that with gusto! As I begin to learn how the software works I am exploring and experimenting with other features. Confidence grows as techniques develop. But I do know I will be back to see Red Door Studios for some specialist guidance at some point soon.

After yesterday's breaking camera and spending 4.5 hours getting 550+ images into shape I have produced the following time-lapse experiment and presented it this morning at my weekly Network meeting. 


There is no sound on this video.

I have finally got to the bottom of how to convert the .mov files to .mp4 files so that I can get them onto my iPad and show them off - to anyone that will watch!

I find creating these so exciting along with learning new techniques. As my skills improve and my curiosity to find out what else I can do with the software increases my ideas on how and what to photograph/film/capture will improve.

Need to start capturing sound and incorporate that - I have many projects ideas that will benefit from a story being told.

The facts and figures:
552 images captured over 77 mins. An image captured every 10 seconds.
At 30 frames per second the 552 images were reduced to the 18 seconds you see.
