DIY Timelapse project

[teetee]

If we lived in a perfect world, you could educate kids with that!!!
Funny how kids interests are viewed differently around the world, the Danes decide to autopsy a baby giraffe in front of a load of kids to educate... none of them looked shocked. Yet in this over-protective nanny state, we cry abomination... poor kids, poor animal...
Maybe the plan is to keep us dumbed down so we don't rise up?

this is yesterdays progress, full frames. shot is taken every five minutes, ive not compressed it like the previous vid.

From the six that started I have narrowed it down to the 4 best ones to keep in frame. As they get bigger I'll get down to the best two then eventually focus on just the one to the end.

So that's a day's worth of footage in 11 secs then?
Oh and where's the music? (only kidding) cheers for the video. You must be pretty happy with things!

[godzilla]

Yes that's right. The shot is taken every 5 minutes, so 12 per hour , 288 shots per day. Video plays at 25 frames / sec so about 11.5seconds.
That's about 1.6 gig of images stored per day from cam0. since it takes images twice, once with grow lighting, once with white lighting. Im uploading the WL stream to utube since I prefer it, you can see the good green colour they have.
The first vid I assembled it then time compressed it, so some frames are lost, but it runs start to fin in half time.

coming up to 8 o clock now, the pi will assemble a timelapse of yesterday plus progress today into an evening update, and email me when its done. so this will be the last 44hrs up to now. i'll upload it in a bit so you can see what the evening update looks like

would be fun to timelapse how a plant reacts to training I reckon, altering things and seeing how it compensates and adjusts its strategy.

The possibilities for side by side comparisons are endless. There is such potential with this, you're onto a winner mate!

heres the evening update, day 26. Mid way if you watch you can see the video pan out as the robot moves back a little ;

[godzilla]

woah. if you open it in you tube and check the quality settings, theres one I never even seen before .. 2160p (4K) !!
I didn't think it'd get above 1080p (HD), though the source video is higher.. 2592 x 1944
I have to change it then click back the timeline so it loads in at the new quality. nice, I done me some 4k timelapse, how'd you like that!

[LEDDWCRigger]

Man this is so awesome.

I wish my plants hadn't had an oxygen issue, I'd have my cameras on and set up by now!

[teetee]

I just play it again and again, so hypnotic, they almost dance in time, but that one at the back left goes all techno for a bit in the middle!!!

Really, really cool.

here you go guys, compiled days 23-27 into a couple vids
did a faster version also so it easier to see some things. nice new growth popping up through the middles now, really have filled out last few days.

cant get the full res out of the pc video editing sw right now, limited at 1920x1080 and bit fuzzier than the source, will try and solve that later.
