Day - Video

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

Urm, got back from the Malvern Hills very late last night, sooo scary riding down from the Worcestershire Beacon in pitch black with no lights, on a bmx with barely any brakes! :lol:

Anyways.

Me & my mate rich were there from about 7am, was meant to be 5ish, but we overslept! Dunno if any of you've seen my post in the happy thread: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ndpost&p=920555

Will explain a little bit more about it, and thursday's attempt, which was cut short due to a severe wind induced lens smashing problem. :

1337 photos, all taken on my Canon 350d.

So urrm yeah, Day - here it is:

Wow I saw your other post yesterday with the unfinished one and I was waiting for this. I loved that, impressive how much effort and time you spent taking the pictures, went so well with the msuic too. (Y)

The music skipped a bit near the end, Im guessing thats where you spliced it to fit the video?

Good job. :)

is this for any reason? or did you just do it for fun?

either way i like it. its original. and sitting up there all day shows a certain amount of dedication to whatever it is you were doing it for.

top stuff.

edit. for the nerds among us the amount of photo's taken was elite! (i gotta stop playing counter strike)

lol that's the first thing i noticed, also when i watched the commonwealth games and someone had a the number 1337 i was like...heh... :rolleyes:

...anyway...

that video was sweet, bit jittery in places but overall considering they were all induvidual shots it was pretty amazing, i loved the morning when sun only shone through little parts on the clouds, and watching how the clouds rolled and moved across the sky was pretty immense.

is it possible to get a 15 or so, hour long tape or whatever and film a whole day? that would be even more amazing. like when they film a flower growing over weeks and play it in fast forward...

yeh, i rambled, nice work. (Y)

Yeah, but trying to play decent res video at 200fps or so rapes computers. Doing time lapses on video/film cameras works the same way, shoot a frame every minute, or every 20 seconds, or however long you want to shoot and how smooth you want the outcome to be.

Doing it with a proper camera ensures better results than a single chipped DV camera.

The video is very cool Mike. You should try and get the tripod somewhere less windy, and a remote trigger if you're not already using one, just to minimise framing differences. Also, go for either 25 or 30 fps, 24 is too wannabe indie film maker. :turned:

Because the EOS 300D series are digital SLR cameras, and not video cameras.

Also, filming a full 25 frames per second, for a whole day, would use up ~10 tapes. Normal video plays at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. If you want to speed the 8 hour video down to 3 minutes, you'd have to play it at 160x the speed, or 4000 frames per second... But you can't, I'm pretty sure there are no film projectors that fast, or any computers fast enough to handle the massive amount of data.

25 frames per second is considered smooth enough by most people, it's what everything in PAL is these days.

3 minutes of 25fps video is 4500 frames. If you want that spread out over 8 hours, you'd have to take 0.15 frames every second, or one frame every 6.4 seconds.

Also, as you capture DV in real time, you'd have to sit and watch 8 hours of footage being captured, and change tapes every hour. How boring would that be?! :)

Also uncompressed DV is 12gb per 15 minutes unless youve got a compress in the chain somewhere.

Downloading now before work :)

(Y) top man that must have taken sometime what did you do in the spare time ? That frame rate is pretty vintage though I like the look of it again :).

Glad you all liked it. :)

It's gonna make up part of my AS photography exam, I'm doing "climate".

Yeah, I could have very easily done it with my video camera, and the results, i'm sure would've been better and smoother, but I don't think it would've been the same sort of achievement to me...

Yeah, it is fairly jumpy, I've got a fair bit of work to do to smooth it out, which I'll do before I actually present it, I just got it up quickly for t-f. :)

Mike.
