Making
high definition timelapse video with a PanoMachine is easy. Here
is an example:

On this example, you will notice the motion of camera during the
take of view. It really allows new creative ideas ...
Take of view of the 600 pictures has been made with my "old"
Canon Eos300D during 2 hours. The PanoMachine is also a shooting
machine : with a 1Go card, I often make 1500 pictures, wich gives
me 50 secondes of high definition timelapse video at 30 frames/second.
Of
course, while the PanoMachine is doing the job, I can drink coffee
with my friends ...
Making video with a photo camera gives the better possible image
quality.
Previous example is a fast-made example with no change in pictures.
The next video
file is made with the same pictures, but after cropping with Photoshop:

As the original pictures are high resolution, it is easy to crop
the video without loss of quality. You can zoom, change ratio
of pictures and retouch pictures using all the power of photo
retouching softwares.
To
make timelapse videos, select CUSTOM mode on the PanoMachine screen.
This mode gives acces to all the options of the PanoMachine.
For example :
- NPOS=900 : it takes 900 pictures
- Tshoot= 4 sec +
Tfocus=0 + Tshutter= 1 sec : takes a picture every 5 secondes.
- ANGLE = 90 degres : the camera will move on a 90° angle
while making the 900 pictures.
The PanoMachine can work alone during 8 hours with a 2700 mAh
NiMh set a batteries (6 x AA standard elements). But it can also
be connected to a external batterie or AC/DC power converter,
with will give a unlimited automony.
