Yeah, it's definitely too long, but not sure how to do it otherwise. 2 photos a second is essential. I could maybe double it to 48fps, but it could end up far too fast.

Do a few samples and see what looks good. Otherwise, slit it into multiple videos.between certain landmarks or whatever.

I've already generated each section as separate videos (actually watching them now on my TV). I was going to split them if my YouTube limit was 15mins but I can upload unlimited length.

 

I'm tempted to put up a Part1,2,3 etc version up and the full length.

 

Needs a backing track of some sort too. And all editing together with some text and other shiz.

Did something interesting happen for every bit of the 33 hours you were recording for?

Or is this video going to contain 39 minutes of road?

It'd be pointless if I just faded it in and out of slightly interesting bits.

 

The fact is it's a fucking massive timelapse and unless I show it all it's a waste.

 

(and yes, pretty much all road)

That's fantastic. Watching the sky is mesmerizing. Did you do anything regarding registrations? especially in the stationary sections?

I've been thinking of splashing out on a Go Pro Silver to moount on my bike or helmet to capture my commutes to work and other journeys but they're rather expensive.

I did think about blurring out number plates but then decided I couldn't be bothered.

The sky is what gets me too. When we got to Ashford I generated a test of the first section of video and all of us were really impressed how well it worked.

If you don't want to spend the amount a GoPro costs you could get a cheap or second hand Canon compact camera and stick CHDK on it with a time lapse script. There's plenty of cheap mounts for standard tripod mountings on DealExtreme, included handle bar mounts. Something I would definitely do myself if I rode to work.

More likely to put on my helmet than bars I think. What about the weather proofyness?

Oh yeah, forgot about the rain! Not really waterproof.

:D We changed the order of the cars on the way back so we actually got some screen time in the tunnel!

:D I've watched it quite a few times too. The full quality video looks very nice on my TV.

Anyone want to watch an incredibly boring timelapse?

Of course you do

I hope you've said that to get me to keep watching the video again and again.
