Steve,

The camera is a Truth Cam
<http://www.amazon.com/Primos-Truth-Cam-35-Camera/dp/B003PVGA1O>  35, a
battery-operated motion-sensitive camera designed to capture animals in the
wild. (No jokes, please.) A set of 4 D Batteries and a 32GB storage card
will capture a year of 1440x1080 images. The device just sits in the corner
of the workshop. When it senses motion it takes a picture. If the workshop
is dark, it takes an infra-red image, which looks black&white. I have set
the camera to take no more than 1 per minute, and only when there is motion.

After collecting a year's worth of photos, I loaded all 10,000 of them into
Windows Live Movie Maker. (Free from MS. Apple offers something similar for
Mac/iPad.) In this software, the user can set the number of seconds that you
want each photo to display. I selected all the photos and set the duration
to 0.125 seconds. It took my laptop 3 hours to compile the 20-minute
high-res movie.

Hope this helps!

Reiff

How did you do the time lapse, (camera, software, manual or remote or
timer?) great idea to document the build.

Reflector,

My Velocity Aircraft kit was delivered back from the head-start program a
year ago. Here is a time-lapse video of a year of building. It starts with
the kit being delivered and ends with the local EAA chapter visiting my
workshop for a tour.

I lost some photos when the camera's storage card filled up . . . I'm
missing April and May when I was working on the canard, and a weekend in
July when Jerry and Linda Brainard helped install the firewall stainless
steel sheeting . . . so those segments are missing from the video.

The clock is set wrong for the first 60% of the video. The year is all 2012.
The month and day are approximately correct.

(This is the same video that was posted yesterday to the Facebook group.
Please excuse the cross-posting if you've already seen it.)

My biggest concern when considering this 5 - 7 year project was that I'd
lose interest or patience after a year or two. I'm happy to say that I still
look forward to every free evening that I can sand, cut, fit, mix, glue,
screw, undo, redo, grind, install, rivet, measure, scrap, clamp, cleco,
drill, or just sit around trying to figure out WTF I'm supposed to do!

One year down. 4 - 6 more to go? (If I'm lucky!)

Great video Reiff!   I now know why your project is lagging:

?         As someone else noted, the animals are really lazy and not doing any work

?         You are extremely well-dressed?every other picture has you in a sports coat.   It?s impossible to work in clean clothes.

?         The workshop is toooooooooooooo clean.    You could do surgery in that garage.

?         You invite the wrong people over?none of them every lifted in a wrench in any of the pictures.

?         Not only did the visitors not work, they seemed to be always drinking.

?         And finally, your lovely wife is far too distracting to get any work done.

?         I couldn?t help but notice in the pictures, but  she seemed to be the only one actually working inside the plane

Kidding aside, a great project and a really neat way of documenting the project!
