I want to do the following in my city. This is an inspirational video.
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDfqCFFvfag
Look for the hi-res version....very worth it. I found it via a torrent site.
Anyway
I just tested a one hour caputre with my Nikon D200 at every 2 seconds. Only thing is the images are at 300 dpi. Since I only want this for video I only need 72 dpi. Is there anyway to change the dpi in the camera, if there is it does'nt state it in the mannual.
thanks

| Don't change the dpi -- change the "size" of the image captured. One of the menus should allow you to scroll through the various sizes your camera supports -- pick 640 x 480 for standard/VHS video or 720 x 480 for widescreen video, |

Ya where do I change it to 640x480?
It only gives me 3 options for each quality setting except for RAW... large3872x2592, medium and small 1936x1296. |

You'll probably just shoot at the camera's lowest resolution and then batch resample all of the shots before you process into a video. |

| You might want to check out a camera like this -- it does high-quality video and video-size captures, and has a built-in time-lapse function (the "Intervalometer"). Your dSLR is not intended as a video capture device. |

Looks like Abobe Elements does a good job of resizing it to 640x480.

Here's the guy's topic on DVXUser, he answers a lot of questions about it.
//www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=64339
And the original URL:

It was posted on Digg a while ago, that's where I got the links. Awesome work definitely, I wish my camera supported the timer remote but it doesn't, and I don't have a laptop to do time lapses.

| He says on that thread that he uses a 2 second shutter speed, and takes the next photo as soon as the shutter closes (i.e. no delay between shots) - Which explains how he gets that 'smooth' motion effect. |

And how about this one, the Reno Balloon Race, in time-lapse;

i have actually been experimenting eith claymation recently, and i just shoot full rez, batch the files to 640px to make a low rez video, and if i like it i go back later and make one with the fulll files. you can put the images together in quicktime pro, but i like to use flash, even though it takes longer, because there are more options. so the batch in photoshop does very well for me, and i can give you steps if you dont know how. good luck!
