That was cool. What did you use to take the video like that?
I have a nikon D5100. I was using an 18-55mm lens, with a tripod for stabilization. I ran the camera on a time delay to take a picture in different intervals. 999 pics at 6 second intervals for the first clip (Battery only made it to 400 or so), 999 at 1s for the frogspawn, but I will definitely have to find a new solution to time lapse with them. For the last one, it was the same as the frogspawn interval, although I ran it at about 25% speed to slow down the clip. Its not terribly obvious thank god, but still pretty bad.
I pretty much ****** with the settings on a case by case basis, so I can't provide any info as to that.
The time lapse isn't a video, its a composition of individual pictures. EG, let the camera take the 400 pics, go into Photoshop, import all 400 in series, export it as a video, in my case I chose 1920x1080 at 60fps. Today was my first attempts at doing it, so I haven't explored post processing yet, but that will likely be my next adventure. Once I get home from work tomorrow I want to try another 6 second interval with the leather coral (1st clip) with the pump fully off. You might have noticed the disturbance that pulsed on and off in the clip, causing the LED's to shimmer and the coral to destabilize. It had a smooth pulsing effect when the pump was off, and I would like to do an even longer time lapse. Maybe running it at a more cinematic 24 FPS and getting RAW images in place of JPG's.
