Time lapses

I thought the time lapses at the start of Pep's segment in 1242 were dope, and I was wonering what the best way to do them with a DV cam were. I guess I only have hour tapes so that might be a problem, plus do you have to capture like 3 hours of footage on your comp to do one? That would take up hella space..

Anyways any help would be appreciated..

longer than one hour time lapses... get to be a major wasteeeeeeeeee....i use DV and ive done some sunsets and cars and shiz like that, use up that hour or half an hour or whats best, use a tripod and put it onto the computer, use an editing program to speed it up or what not.... then export that file and delete the original for computer space... that should help!

My camera and I'd imagine others have timelapse option,for example where it captures 1 sec for every 5 mins gone by.

the time lapses there are one 16 mm so they can just use a big ass reel. for digi though, if you really wanna do it well, you need a 3-bit cam that saves footy to the cameras memory... or its something like that.

If Bill O'Reily was a freeskier: 'The spin stops here! Now we're spinning to the right!'

 
one way to do time lapses with a digi cam is that you record ie. sunset for 1½hours LP-mode and then capture it in premiere with stop motion capture. file > capture > stop motion. then adjust how often it captures a frame, something like 30seconds or 1minute, and then set it to capture it to an .avi file and that's it.

i think this is the best way for time lapse capture if your dv cam doesn't have a special function for it.
