Time-lapse video shot with a 50D (that's a 50D, not a 5D Mark II). Only 40 seconds long.

| Really cute. Makes me want to do it myself. So does the 50D have a setting that takes a picture every so many seconds? I wonder if the 5D2 has that. |

| Very cute! I wouldn't have the patience to do this. |

Very nice, but I kept expecting the fadeout to give me a shot of the tree LIT UP! Cool fun, regardless :-)

Thanks, all.
@DrAchoo: No, the 50D and the 5D2 don't have what Canon calls an intervalometer. I just tripped the shutter every once in a while (sometimes with a 2-second delay so I could be in some frames), or had my kids or wife trip it. I tripped it more often when the kids were hamming it up for the camera. Maybe next time I'll connect it to a computer and have the Canon software do that intervalometer function (I think it can do that).
@Kelli: it wasn't really very taxing on my patience; what do you think would be hard about doing this?
@Robert: yeah, that's a good idea; I marked the floor for the tripod, so maybe I'll add a few more frames still... |

| I feel like Canon's remote shooting software allows you to shoot at intervals, but I haven't used that in a long time. Need to check that out. |

| What type of software do you need to do one of these? |

I'm pretty sure Canon's wireless remote lets you program time lapse...

Tripping the shutter! LOL! Resizing that many pictures, culling the ones that don't make the cut, etc. I'm sure it took time. |

Quicktime 7 for creating the movie. Select File, Open Image Sequence, and it will make a movie of all sequentially-numbered files in that folder (you just select the first one). You'll be prompted to select a frame rate (how many frames per second you want to have).
Resized down with Photoshop (used the Image Processor and an action).
Put it together (some editing and adding the music and text) in Final Cut Pro. |

Sure, it took some time after getting the captures, but you can connect your camera to a computer or use a remote to control the shutter releases. I used Photoshop's Image Processor and an action to downsize the photos, and actually used all frames for the movie, and of course duplicated some frames when I wanted one to appear for a longer duration. |
