Sun, Clouds, Rain, Sunset – 8 hours in 4 mins time-lapse video

This time-lapse covers nearly 8 hours worth of time between noon and 9pm one day on our recent vacation . Since it’s time-lapse, aren’t you glad you don’t have to sit through 8 hours of video! Talk about watching paint dry/grass grow/etc .

During those ~ 8 hours I recorded nearly 19mins of video (1 frame being recorded every 2 seconds for those 8 hours) but I compressed that even further and got down to about 4.5 mins.

So I think you’ll enjoy seeing that about of time pass by in under 5mins. I also had a good day for it, many many clouds and varying weather rolled through, topped off by a gorgeous sunset!

This is also my first video that is the native size (that resolution from which it comes off my camera) 640×480. So that in and of itself might be worth the watch for you…at least I hope!

EDIT: Here is a smaller version…should take less time to buffer & use less CPU.
The large version pretty much maxes out my laptop (1.6G Celeron (single) and 1.5GB RAM))

The time I went to 5 Walgreen’s in 2 Hours….No, I was not robbing them! – Driving Time Lapse Video

I am happy to announce (and i BET YOU’LL BE GLAD TO HEAR) that this is the last TLV I have migrated from my blogspot. I wanted to get them all here since this is where I will be posting new ones first. I’ll post here and then UL to blogspot, YT, metacafe, etc. But this is where the good videos will be, better quality…I don’t think I have to rehash all that again with you though ;-)

I really did drive to 5 different Walgreen’s in just over 2 hours. Was I looking for a strategic balm or ointment? No! Nor was I robbing them or looking for clearance items.

I actually do a little mystery shopping on the side. You’ve heard them advertised on the radio…earn $$ and keep merchandise…yada, yada, yada. Believe me, it’s not all it’s cut out to be. By the time you have to study the shop, do the shop, and write up the shop, and buy gas you are working for dirt cheap…most likely less than min. wage in some cases! It’s more of a hobby to get me out of the house I think!

But anyway this was a Sunday afternoon, I got a little procrastination action happening and I managed to have this many shops due that day!

Funny thing is that I looked in my TLV folder and there is another segment! I think this video only show 4 different stops…but oh well! You get the idea!

Wax on, Wax Off – Candles Melting Time Lapse Video

I know, I know, everyone in the universe (< = everyone) has seen candles melt but how often do you see them melt @ high speed! In my estimation as least 7 times less than the previous number of 2.8 billion.

I am getting to that point where ideas are hard to come by…not desperate yet but I am starting to have to use my brain and if you knew me you’d know that it’s a risky affair to do so. Candles were an easy fit b/c I have them and they show movement! A good match both time and movement for this application so I went for it :)
