Front 242 – Clouds Time-Lapse Video

I thought it might be nice to include the YT version just for grins. Some of the comments I get are useful while a handful I just want to slap the person. This one has 1,211 views on YT which is about average for a TLV of mine that has been on there for that long.

Filmed from the top of my daughters ‘Rainbow’ playscape, this is a quick front that passed through the area.

And while I know clouds have been done to death with TLV’s, having done some myself (Roving Clouds), I wanted to do this one b/c it was a rare instance where the sunset and clouds came together to make it interesting enough to film IMO.

What I really need to do is find a good backdrop and film storms coming in from a distance. The area isn’t very flat at all though, might take me a long time to find a good spot!

My Fish Loves Metal!!!! – Fish Time-Lapse Video

This blog will be dedicated to creating time lapse videos. Any ideas that you have for ‘subjects’, by all means leave them as comments! I would love to hear from you in that regard.

The most common ones that I have access to will be our pet fish and while driving (but not at the same time). I actually created a little rig for the camera to be on my dashboard. It still needs some work but check back soon for that new video.

And so: A time lase video of our Beta fish set to some heavy metal :-P

Dirty Laundry! – Washing Machine Time Lapse Video (8,276 YouTube views!!!)

I don’t know how or why this got 8,276 YouTube views, but I was quite happy to see it. Most of my time-lapse videos are lucky to get 100 views, I’m not sure how this one hit paydirt!

You’ve never seen a load of laundry go so fast! 35minutes of a laundry cycle completed in 2 minutes!

I had to modify the washing machine to be able to run with the top up but I had already done that like a year ago (long story there).

Ok, I’ve got time. I thought it was a real time waster, to load the entire cycle while the washer just sat there dry. I really wanted to start the water and then add the clothes as it usually takes a good 5 minutes to fill the entire thing. How impatient am I that I can’t wait an extra 5 minutes??? Don’t answer that ;-)

So a while back I started stuffing a feather duster handle into the slot that contains the safety switch for the lid…all was well and working fine for several months until I jammed the handle in there too hard one day and it busted the switch :-(

So I had to tie some electrical tape around the switch so that the washer could run at all…needless to say it is not the safest washing machine in the neighborhood but it sure came in handy for the video!
