A Day In The Life…

Posted on 29. Apr, 2008 by loswhit in Uncategorized

So this is thanks to Longbrake. I am now addicted to making tame lapse films of my life.
Last night I literally slept downstairs in the guestroom with the light on and time lapse running.
I now have video of me sleeping for 8 hours.
Or 28,000 seconds.
Played back in 2 minutes.
Or 180 seconds
One picture
Every 5 seconds.
24 frames (pictures) per second.
Poof. You have Time Lapse
My experiment for the day was to take an image with my iSight camera on my laptop every 5 seconds.
Left it running and forgot it was on most of the day.
What I ended up with was pretty freaking sweet.
Enjoy a day in my life…

How cool was that?

    Very cool – I think I saw you twittering at 2:25 in. Thanks for sharing your day with us.

  2. JTCrespo 29 April 2008 at 4:40 pm #

    Very cool… The production line really was more fun than it looks like it was.

  3. Kevin Bunnell 29 April 2008 at 4:41 pm #

    Love the insight! Can’t wait to the the Drive Swag in person.

  4. Chris Baker 29 April 2008 at 4:51 pm #

    That is neat. I’d time lapse myself…but I’m running an old Powerbook with no iSight cam…so if you want to hook a brother up with a MacBookPro, I won’t complain.

  5. GregQualls 29 April 2008 at 4:51 pm #

    That was pretty sweet.

  6. Pat Callahan 29 April 2008 at 4:51 pm #

    Thanks for not taking us into the john… or did you and I missed it?

  7. alex mclean 29 April 2008 at 4:52 pm #

    I plan on doing the same soon… Maybe a weekend at LifeChurch?

  8. Tyler 29 April 2008 at 5:08 pm #

  11. Debbie 29 April 2008 at 5:14 pm #

    I didn’t see you waiting in line for your free ice cream.

    That’s cool but were you texting while driving? Not cool.

  14. patrick 29 April 2008 at 5:39 pm #

    What program did you use to do the time lapse.. I know it was your isight camera, but is there a special program/setting.. that you have to use..?

  15. Chris Baker 29 April 2008 at 5:44 pm #

    HAHA…its cool, I’ll putz along with the Powerbook for now till I can afford the upgrade :) . Thanks for responding anyway.

  16. Nate 29 April 2008 at 5:55 pm #

    loved it! what was the music that you added?

  17. Steven 29 April 2008 at 6:17 pm #

    I noticed the texting while driving, too. Hmm…

  18. Jonathan 29 April 2008 at 6:25 pm #

    “Tame” lapse video, huh? That’s something new! :o )

  19. mike foster 29 April 2008 at 6:30 pm #

    that was cool…though i didnt see you pick your nose…did that get edited out?…..mike.

  20. Paul 29 April 2008 at 6:59 pm #

    Isn’t it crazy how you notice all kinds of mannerisms about yourself that you had no clue about before?!

  21. Joni 29 April 2008 at 7:30 pm #

    As cool as that is and valuable to prove to the world what moms do all day, there is no way in hell I’m going to put my parenting on film. I don’t need that kind of evidence hanging over me! :)

  22. Loran 29 April 2008 at 7:37 pm #

    totally rad

  23. Isaac Downing 29 April 2008 at 7:45 pm #

    Rad man. What is the music you have playing the background?

  24. Los 29 April 2008 at 7:49 pm #

    That would be the album leaf

  25. Zak 29 April 2008 at 7:51 pm #

    Los,

    I understand the process, but what is the easiest way to clip the pics to the right length? I assume you did it in imovie right? Surely you didn’t manually enter the length of time that each pic should show.

    Tips? Pointers? My readers would LOVE this…I wanna try it out!

    Zak

  26. drewC @ HK 29 April 2008 at 8:34 pm #

    That is simply cOol~!

  27. Zak 29 April 2008 at 8:37 pm #

    Nevermind…Found a thing called GAWKER…probably what you used.

    Zak

  28. Vicky Beeching 29 April 2008 at 8:44 pm #

    That is so cool…. Loved it!

  29. Kyle McDonald 29 April 2008 at 8:49 pm #

    Never thought I’d get much enjoyment watching someone else’s day but i must admit that this was pretty wicked. I too text during a drive… while it isn’t the safest form of communication on the road, I do seem to arrive at places without know how I actually got there (makes me feel like a time traveler). I’ve enjoyed the bit of webspace for sometime now… Peace and Love.

  30. eryn 29 April 2008 at 9:29 pm #

    wow.. i have no words.
    (by that i mean that was really really cool!)

    ps.
    thanks to you i got a free ice cream! (:

  31. alexsandra 29 April 2008 at 10:06 pm #

    you’re very fidgety

    who is next? Losiah?

    very cool

  32. Heidi Reed 30 April 2008 at 3:49 am #

    I was planning to comment that you did a great job of not picking your nose, but then at the end you said you did. I didn’t notice it, but I sure was looking. ROFL!

    Great vid.

  33. Jesse Phillips 30 April 2008 at 4:03 am #

    AWESOME! Is there an application for me to do this with a PC? I just bought a PC! – bad idea?

  34. Los 30 April 2008 at 4:18 am #

    Poor Jesse {seesmic_video:{”url_thumbnail”:{”value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/Wo0f3hNPj9_th1.jpg”}”title”:{”value”:”Poor Jesse ”}”videoUri”:{”value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/JRLcfXwwoU”}}}

  35. Scott Fillmer 30 April 2008 at 4:19 am #

    WOW, that was so cool… thanks for sharing it with everyone

  36. tunz 30 April 2008 at 4:32 am #

  37. boyd bettis 30 April 2008 at 4:42 am #

    Los,

    thanks, I’m an idiot and didn’t read your commentary on how the video was put together…so here’s what I should have asked how did you set your isight to take pictures every five seconds?

    bb

  38. Biscuet 30 April 2008 at 4:44 am #

    That video turned out awesome…

    Boyd, the program is called Gawker. It’s a free download. I don’t have an address right away, but google it.

  39. boyd bettis 30 April 2008 at 4:50 am #

    Biscuet,

    thanks!

  40. Rachel 30 April 2008 at 6:09 am #

    I’m totally going to try this…maybe at my young adults shindig tonight.

    Jesse: my heart hurts for you. I got a Mac a few months ago because my Dell inexplicably crashed (might have been post-traumatic stress from my undergrad…)

    Awesome choice of music, as well, Los. I love me some Album Leaf.

  41. Jimmy Williams 30 April 2008 at 6:24 am #

    Los,

    Is that a crib mobile that was hanging over the couch in your office? Very cool and relaxing!

  42. The Domestic Goddess 30 April 2008 at 6:27 am #

    Dang, that was neat.
    And that kid? Too flipping cute.

  43. Duane 30 April 2008 at 6:46 am #

    I love that freakin’ song….
    He needs to come out with a new record

  44. Joseph 30 April 2008 at 7:09 am #

    Pretty interesting concept! Thanks for sharing.

  45. Josh Mickelson 30 April 2008 at 8:10 am #

    I believe that song was the album leaf, right?

  46. Duane 30 April 2008 at 8:16 am #

    It is…
    “The Outer Banks”
    from the record “In a Safe Place”

    so good….

  47. Chad Jarnagin 30 April 2008 at 9:16 am #

    oh yeah {seesmic_video:{”url_thumbnail”:{”value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/LAmxqhn7L1_th1.jpg”}”title”:{”value”:”oh yeah ”}”videoUri”:{”value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/oiLykYP320″}}}

  48. bobby 30 April 2008 at 9:30 am #

    Sweet. I really could have used that a few weeks ago when I built our play structure. Instead I have like 15 hours of footage on Mogulus that I need to try and figure out how to get off to speed up.

  49. sarah 30 April 2008 at 2:16 pm #

    how do you know josh..?

  50. Kyle 30 April 2008 at 3:33 pm #

    That was very cool. Funny to watch some of the things. What made you think of doing that?

    Wow…you move fast!

  52. Marvin Nelson 1 May 2008 at 2:58 pm #

  53. Crystal Renaud 2 May 2008 at 9:30 pm #

    very cool. i would do that, but mine would be uber boring.

    you have a “always needing to touch your face” nervous tick. :) that is what i learned from this video. :)

  54. Cesar Morales 30 December 2009 at 8:15 pm #

    Freakin awesome dude! Thanks for sharing.

  55. Graham 30 December 2009 at 8:31 pm #

    That is awesome! I’m going to try it soon!

  56. Adriana McFayden 31 December 2009 at 5:50 am #

    What the heck were you eating the whole time you were driving? Food is very important to me. You adopted another child? When did you post this? I think I will do this today, just to see.

    Feliz Ano Nuevo,

    Adriana

  57. Rand 31 December 2009 at 10:41 pm #
