Phatmike Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 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! 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=920555Will 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:http://www.trials-shack.co.uk/MikeSingleton/Day.divx(You'll need the DivX codec, www.divx.com)Mike.

Luke Drewery Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 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. The music skipped a bit near the end, Im guessing thats where you spliced it to fit the video?Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) 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!

RicH_87 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 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... ...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.

Janson Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 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...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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Nice Mike I like it, why not just leave it running all day and quickly change tapes over when they run out? That would make it even smoother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 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?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 My bad, I understand now. So its all done with a stills camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_P Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well done pork chops, top bit of shootin there!!Thats some dedication, mummy pack your sarnies?Good man that was awsome, I still can't believe you bought a memory card just to do it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) 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 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 . Edited April 17, 2006 by CBProductions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 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.
