I had a camera shooting every 2 seconds for the last five 5 days (approx 130,000 shots believe it or not). It covers the pouring of the concrete around the base of the crane to the construction. I'm going to produce a mega time lapse video when I get the time to sit down and do it.

StreetX · May 8th, 2012, 01:51 PM

every 2 seconds?! How many pictures can your camera and computer hold?
great pics so far

billybanana · May 8th, 2012, 02:12 PM

Was using a HD webcam connected to the pc. So didn't have to worry about storage or batteries etc. I've got an 8TB server so plenty of room

Sounds great! I love making/watching time-lapse videos.

One thing though, 130,000 shots put into a 25fps video would go for nearly 2 hours! Even put into a 50fps video it would be around an hour long!

I would have put the timer at 10-12s so then it would be a 5-6 min movie (which is still a bit long for only 5 days)

Yeah i've got a fair bit of culling to do first. Most of the night time stuff will go but i figured i'd leave it going in case they did something silly like deliver all the crane pieces in the middle of the night. Has been known to happen before.

Really appreciate the efforts BB, we rarely get to see the crane construction from commencement so look forward to the end result.

I am fairly sure the answer is yes. the lift raft slab is looking at being poured on Monday (an RDO) 1500m3.

aussiescraperman · May 9th, 2012, 07:15 PM

how do they know what they are doing? do they have an instruction booklet? and what happens if they make a mistake.

***silvermb*** · May 9th, 2012, 10:00 PM

the same as anyone in any job?
