Time-Lapse Photography

What

I took pictures of things every few seconds and then made a movie from the pictures. The result is a video that runs at as much as a month (of realtime) per second (of video).

Why

I asked for a webcam as a gift because I really wanted to make some time-lapse videos. Why? I'm not really sure. It just seemed like fun.

How

I used the following tools:

• A Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 webcam
• camE, a webcam-capture program which I modified to be more precise in its timing
• The mjpeg suite of video tools
• The pwc and pwcx drivers for the Logitech webcam
• Linux
