I recommend you use manual focus, its a great first time-lapse. If you want, you can see my time-lapses (http://blog.gotencool.com/2009/07/un-nuevo-time-lapse.html and http://blog.gotencool.com/2009/05/time-lapse-con-camara-digital-y-linux.html).

Hi,

I love timelapse videos like this one and have made a few myself. Clouds rolling by here in England make great subjects.

Little tip if I may: Use manual focus and you will avoid that slightly annoying zoom in and out effect as you move around. Took me a few attempts to realise what was causing it. Getting rock steady videos now. Have fun with them!

This was my attempt, about a year back

and used cinelerra in the next one to create a “Beamed-down” effect on people.
