Snow fall time lapse

[TriggerFish]

I set up my GoPro overlooking the road in anticipation of snow - and I got some! I think it came out quite well, and thought it maybe of interest to people.

you've still got milk floats there you posh b'stard, bloody Royal county

[TriggerFish]

Have we?! I've honestly not been awake before 10am since the middle of December! (Student life is hard!)

Ha, so we have at 11seconds in.

That's really good, thanks for sharing

Very good idea (wish I'd thought if that).

What interval did you capture the pictures at and what frame rate did you play back at?

What caused the blue flashes on the cars at the start?

haha - you caught someone swiping snow from the boot of the BMW at the end.

Very clever video, what period of time does the video cover.

The photos were taken at 10 second intervals. The blue flashes were the Wi-Fi control lights for the camera reflecting off the window it was behind. I a) forgot about it flashing and b ) hoped it might have been clever enough to sync the flashes and the shutters.

Frame rate I'll check and get back to you on.

That was me, I left something I needed in the boot (including my ice scrapers!) :(

Thanks - it was running from 6pm to about 3pm ish. Covered though is from I'd guess around 5-6am until 3pm was nothing happened during the night.

what frame rate did you play back at?

There's about 3,000 frames in there and it's 50 seconds long, so 3,000/50 = 60FPS? Or is that over simplifying it?

I imported into Premier Pro (CS6) and changed it to 250% speed for most of the video, then slowed it down to 200% once the children started playing, but I don't know what frame rate CS6 uses as default. Hope that helps in some way?

If have expected 24 fps which I believe is the English TV standard.

I was more interested in the original interval the picturs were taken at as I'm thinking if doing something similar.

[TriggerFish]

I just adjusted the duration in CS6 to get it to a speed where it looked good. The encoding of the output file was at 25fps if that's helpful?

Oh, sorry - that was 10 seconds in between each photo. I think I mentioned that above?

I tried one at .5 second intervals and it was pretty pointless - there was only a tiny change per frame, and it ate into my memory much faster (20 times more data per 10 second period, so not great for longer durations).
