I've been producing time-lapse stock video for the last two years, and it's become fairly profitable. I've had so many people ask questions that a tutorial of sorts was inevitable.

I've finally put together a rough tutorial on creating time-lapse video from still images, and I'd love for someone to take a look and share their impression. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but when it's finished, I'd like to make it available for free. It's a bit on the long side though, 10 pages of text ... so far. I'll eventually add photos and diagrams to make it more interesting, but I'm looking for a little feedback before I go much further.

If anyone is interested, I'll e-mail you a copy in PDF format. I'm really only looking for a small group of people. Ideally three to five, just so I can get an idea of which parts work and which don't.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out.

Hey Nick I skimmed through your tutorial and it looks really good and in depth. I don't think I'm gonna get into time-lapse anytime soon but it is a really cool technique and you seem to have it down!

I love the way the movement of the plants looks a bit like wind. It's awesome. Very nicely done!!! :)
