    Wild timelapse!
    How many frames did you shoot?

  21. linesandwaves (24 months ago | reply)

    Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone :) To answer a few of the questions:

    • I shot it with my iPhone (3G) using an app called ReelMoments. I kept the phone still by propping it up on a big book sitting against the window.

    • Music was (perhaps a bit too hastily) overlaid with iMovie.

    • The slowest frame rate I could shoot with the app was a photo every 20 seconds, so that comes out to about 1350 frames.

    • I hear you on the length… I really wished I could have kept it going but I was kinda freaked out about the potential size of the movie (it actually turned out to only be around 13MB!) and right afterwards the snow got really intense, making it pretty much impossible to see outside. That and my patience was starting to wear off :)
