Blowing Nemo (Timelapse Video)

[Indy443 30]

It's my turn to stop asking questions and make a real contribution to this awesome forum!

Brought my first horse home three weeks ago (beautiful '92 312-8) and haven't REALLY had a chance to use it. So when this storm started to brew up earlier this week I was pumped to put the horse to the test for the first time. I decided to set up my camera and tri-pod and catch the action for all you guys by making a timelapse video. I hope you enjoy it! Round two of blowing coming up in a few hours....the real snow is just starting to fall

Click on the black box and it will bring you to my website where the video (should) start to play automatically.

HaHaHaHaHa, I know, it makes it look like I'm crazy energetic. But the reality is I was just moseying along. Mostly in High first gear and going slow. I had the camera set to take a photo every three seconds, and I finished with about 1,000 photos all together. But when you speed that up to 24 frames per second it compresses a 45 minute job into about 45 seconds!

Thanks for taking a look!

[danjmah 71]

Truly an awesome video! Thanks much!

Hahaha, thanks for taking a look! Not a special camera at all, but it does require a special accessory to make it work. A thing called an intervalometer allows you to program the camera to take a picture at a duration of your choosing. For this I set it up to take a picture every three seconds, over the 45 minutes or so it took me to do the job. In all it took over 1,000 photos. I then use a software program to speed up all those photos to 24 frames per second, which shortens the time to play it back to just 45 seconds! That's why it looks like I am one realllllly hyper snowblower and shovller. Really, I'm just cruising along at normal speed.

They are fun to make and can show a job getting done quickly. I've made them for some construction projects or stacking wood and it's cool to see a job that took a long time compressed down to a minute or so!

Thanks again for having a look and maybe I'll make another one before Nemo swims away tomorrow

That's not good! Could be your internet connection? It does need to 'buffer' for a little while before it will begin to play. Try back in a little bit and see if it'll work, or are you guys running some slow internet?

Great video. I only wish I could clear my driveway that fast.

[KC9KAS 4,741]

Worked this time...Neat!

Your poor dog must have put on 20 miles back & forth following your snow-blower!

[MaineDad 85]

WOW - that's sweeeeeet! Where in VT are you?

[sscotsman 132]

Wow, very cool video!

(but..even in these times of high-speed internet, the video is really just far too large..

IMO, you should cut it down to 800 pixels wide or so..Im on high-speed DSL, and it was still buffering constantly..

and the size is probably why some people cant view it at all..

you can make it larger than the typical low-resolution youtube video, but the one you posted is probably just WAY too

big for most people's computers to handle..)
