it’s been a while since i shot my last time lapse clip and i am happy to finally present the candle clip that i intended to shoot for a very long time:

the clip consists of 3100 jpgs combined using virtualdub and exported as an xvid avi file. it runs at 36 frames per second with the pictures being taken each one second apart.
the equipment I used was:

• canon eos 5d mkii @ iso 100
• tokina at-x pro 100 f/2.8 @ f/8.0
• tc-80n3 timer remote @ 1second intervals
• manfrotto tripod & head

the pictures were taken in jpg form to save space, then imported to lightroom, resized to 1280×853 and then exported. virtualdub was used to merge the jpg files into a video clip with the nine inch nails song “36 ghosts iv” as atmospheric background.

total working time (shooting and post processing): about 3 hours.

i might produce a full hd version of the clip later down the line and release it via bittorrent.
