Time lapse anyone?

[jtice]

I LOVE time lapse stuff.

I have done it a few different ways actually.

First I MANUALLY took hundreds of pics, and joined them as a movie in Flash.
Yes, that was a PITA, here is the first one I did.

Here is another I did manually.

Then I discovered a Remote program for Canon Point an Shoot cams, wow, how much better that made it LOL
This was either manual, or done with that remote program.

Then I bought a new vid cam, a Sony HC90
really nice vidcam, and it has a built in time lapse feature!
Here is the first test I did with it.

lol I have gone through the first few stages you mention as well but have not yet used a camcorder. Most recent video was a sunset at the Pipeline surf break, Hawaii, with music. The speeded up videos below were done using Windows Movie Maker (between crashes), you select speed double.

Chris,

LOL yea, tall me about it, Movie Maker is a really nice, simple, editor..... When it Works !
It has certain operations that are very slow, and crashes WAY too open.
I have been using Ulead Studio 8 and 10

Great work on your time lapses !!
