Oh, I see how they did it in 3 minutes - they used heavy equipment AND lots of workers! A winning combination if I ever saw one

Neil, great job!

I assume that you did not ever move the camera during the entire build.

What was your interval (time between shots). What did you power the camera with? Batteries or a Power Adapter?

I agree Time lapse can be fun. I have done some using a Canon G12 camera with a battery adapter and a external timer.

The external timer is battery power only there is no power adapter available. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Hi Carl

I used a Canon battery pack on my Canon 550D

The tripod was screwed to a sheet of chipboard, to minmize movement.

I used a Canon Timer set at 10 min interval which equalled about 50 photos per day or 2 seconds per day at one frame per second.

I edited each photo for colour and exposure.

I used 500 photos per PD project and Produced at 4k, then cropped to 16:9 and Produced at 1920x1080 50P

The actual build time approx 6 months

I am surprised the battery pack held up for 6 months. Thank you for the information. Time lapse is the very reason I bought the Power Adapter for my Canon G12.

I guess 10 minutes interval is pretty good, I would have maybe used 30 minutes or one hour. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

I went through it frame-by-frame and saw the three naked women about half-way through. Thanks!

My wife and I built our own house in about 5 minutes back in 2003.

Very nice! I also like how you had the deck chairs ready about 30 seconds in

Hi Carl

I would recharge the batteries every other day

That would keep the batteries going. I still like a power adapter better, plug it in and forget about it. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
