Create time-lapse video with your S60 phone
Published by Rafe Blandford at 13:59 BST, June 5th 2008
In this article Steve explains, step-by-step, how you can use your Nseries phone to create a time-lapse video using the sequence mode of the camera application and a quick bit of video editing. He has also included a quick example of his own, but we would like to see your examples too.
Why sequences? Well, they're a good and automatic way to show something changing, pictorially, over time. String the images together and you've got a so-called 'time-lapse' video. In the example below I was trying out the idea on a bus journey into town, but it could equally well be your garden - or the setting up of an event - or a landscape, in each case animating a much longer period of time. For example, the bus journey was 15 minutes and the video takes only 20 seconds.

I remember being really surprised by the possibilities of this feature when I blogged about it last month on SMS Text News:

(Russ Beattie actually drew it to my attention)
WOM even mentioned it as 'exposing a hidden feature'

Hope yours get a mention too.. Loving the bus work.
I'll have to try that one.
