How to Make a Time Lapse Video: Studio Tour

This video gives a backstage pass for my time lapse studio. I discuss several aspects of what I use to make a time lapse video – which camera, which lights, how long does it take. This brief tour can help you get started with shooting your own time lapses. Plus, I show you two failed time lapse videos and discuss what I did wrong. Transcript: “Hi. I’m James Knott. You may have seen one of my time lapse videos on Youtube and I was going to release another time lapse video today, but it didn’t quite work out the way I wanted it to so instead of showing you a failed time lapse I thought I would show you a little behind the scenes. After the tour, I am going to show you two of my failed time lapse videos so stay tuned for those. Now these are my three time lapse studios here that I’ve set up. Over here I have some grapes going that have going for over two months. In the center, there is nothing going. I am trying to figure out a new idea. And then, down at the end, I have a kiwi going which has been going for about three months and still looks exactly the same. A couple things to take note of here. These are just cardboard boxes where I’ve painted the inside of them white. There are four compact florescent lights in each box and painting the inside of the box white helps make the light a little softer. You can see that I’m actually using two different types of cameras. On these two I have the Sony VX2100. I use interval record mode. It takes a half second of video every ten

I created a LED countdown display in Little Big Planet and here is my result:) I made it so it didnt have so much heat on the thermometer and I´m quite pleased with the result.

    Tomorrow is my first day on a line. Any advice?


    Question by Sharethelove: Tomorrow is my first day on a line. Any advice?
    I just got a job as a line cook, and I have very little experience. I am a good cook, but the professional game is a whole different story. I have cooked on a line before, but it was a salad and pizza station, working directly with customers, not in a kitchen. What can I expect? Any advice on how not to appear like I’m a rookie? What should I bring (I have a chef coat, pens, meat thermometer, non-slip shoes – anything special?)? Any big Do Nots in a professional kitchen that aren’t obvious? Thanks

    im not sure but if next monday you invite a bunch of family over and cook a nice mexican meal with lots of acidic peppers and such and then you collect everyone together and then you set up two chairs next to each other about one foot apart and have your eldest family member stand up on the chair and remove their trousers while simultaneously releasing their bowls it is certain to be one hell of a show for mexican mondays!!!

      Question by hannah_1721: Can you take your temperature without using a thermometer?
      I’ve misplaced my thermometer and can’t go out to buy a new one. I think I might have mono, and as I’ve read, one of the symptoms is a fever, so I’m trying to check if I have one. Any tips?
      The last time I kissed a guy was in June… so I doubt that’s it. And thanks for the sweet response… I really appreciate it.

      I personally have experience with Epstein Barr Virus (causes mono) anyways at first I just felt sore all over, very tired, headache and depressed. Then the symptoms got worse sore throat, fever, chills, low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, headache from HELL! I just actually got over the virus about a week ago finally I had it since July. I started taking AHCC supplements (immune boosters) and it went away within a week no joke!

        Question by thornlizard: How much should I change my cooking time for a 3 pound pork shoulder?
        I have a recipe that calls for slow-roasting a 5 – 6 pound Boston butt pork shoulder at 275 for 4-6 hours. If I want to half the recipe to a 2.5 or 3 pound roast, how long should I cook it for? Also, 4-6 hours is quite a wide range… how will i know it’s done? I have a meat thermometer, at what temperature will my roast be done? I have some other sides and things I want to prepare so that everything’s ready at once, and it’s hard to know when to start making them. Thanks!
        I’d like to stick with the slow cooking idea and keep the temp at 275 per the recipe, if possible.

        Answer by Ron P
        Place your 3lb. roast roasting pan in 300 degree preheated oven, and cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, and cook for an additional 15 minutes to brown the meat.

            Question by cib0904: How can you tell if a chicken breast is fully cooked if its marinated?
            I use frozen chicken breasts, thaw them in the microwave (it always starts to cook the edges) wash them thoroughly with hot water, then I maranade them in some kind of maranade for 30 mins or so
            THEN i cook them on my george foreman grill typically for 10+ minutes… i always end up burning the top becuase i’m so paranoid its not thoroughly cooked….

            I can never tell because it seems like the maranade/seasoning always changes the color of the chicken a little…. it’s never WHITE… but i never leave it what I think to be “uncooked”

            If anything I dry them out but should the chicken literally look WHITE

            and yes i know I should just get a meat thermometer
            The juice trick doesn’t really work all that well when its been marinating so long thats the problem! I always just cut it down the middle to check
