Cross-Country Timelapse (the other way this time!)

[HellsBells]

Took a small detour to drive part of Route 66:




Here was the other way around, a few years ago:

Hope you guys enjoy! I learned my lesson from last time and made this timelapse much more compressed.

Cool deal. Did you ship your stuff or sell it?

I would have thought you would have averaged a little better gas mileage!
Anyways cool video.

What was the blue painters tape on the drivers door?

Sold all my furniture for cents on the dollar and shipped a few boxes on a pallet.

Thanks! I've always gotten subpar MPG with this car even after new motor, tunes, etc... it's probably the way I drive more than anything.

I used the tape to hold down a long charging cable for the camera.

Definitely a cool video man! I would love to take a cross country drive in my Mustang.

Those were awesome. Great choice in music. I wish I would have done that when I towed the car to Tenn for a race. I do go up to Montana twice a year, thinking I will try it for that trip.

On the first one, how often did your camera take a picture? 1 per minute?

On the second one, what resolution did you film at?, as I would imagine HD would be one hell of a file size.

On the first trip from CA to MA, I think I had it set every 10 seconds--I ended up having to cut a lot out. I usually compile the timelapse at 8fps or so, and then I speed it up even more in video editing.

On the MA to CA (this one), I had it set every minute. The pictures were all taken at 11MP and then shrunk down to 1440x1080 for 1080p video size.

The Route 66 portion is filmed at 1080p HD at 30fps.

Let me know if you get bored and wanna try it, I'm in the LA area now and you're more than welcome to use my camera (it's a GoPro Hero 2). The Hero 2 can do 720p @ 60fps, which is way nicer if you film racing or other high speed stuff but word on the street is that youtube only supports 30fps anyway.

If you don't have a GoPro yet, I recommend one because they are easy to use and fairly cheap. The only downside of the GoPro is the sound absolutely sucks unless you hook up an external mic.
