Time lapse video
I just got back a little while ago from a visit to Brian, Dani & Jeffrey’s in Rochester. Great times. Great friends.
We went out to Arigato’s for some yummy hibachi, then went home for cake and gaming. Well, one game that lasted a good long time. Loaded Questions – which got off to a bit of a slow start but ended up being laugh-so-hard-you-cry funny. The game deteriorated into “The Turd Ferguson Game” where every answer became a variation of “Turd Ferguson.” Priceless. And we only had a couple glasses of wine. Really.
Here are some videos I made of the trip out and back. The exported video ended up being terribly low res, so these are here for the time being until I can re-export at a higher quality.
Time lapse details
I used an Xbox Live webcam ($40) taped to my rearview mirror. iStopMotion software, which is super simple to use especially while driving. The 1st video was set at 24 fps and the first 44 seconds are recorded at one frame every second. The rest is one frame every 8 seconds, thus the much faster, jerkier quality.
The second video is a compromise at one frame every 2 seconds. This gave a much smoother motion, but obviously longer video length. I should have switched to one frame every second once I got off the thruway for higher quality on the final leg of the drive.
The soundtracks are a remix of Just Let Go by Fischerspooner and a cover of A Forest by Nouvelle Vague (you should be able to figure out which is which).
