I filmed it closing and looped it to give a nice open and close happy ending.

    It might be fun to do a remix where it opens and closes quickly to the music rhythm... like a flash flash
  • Lucasberg (Joey) plus 2 years ago
    Good idea , I may try that.

  • Very cool ! How did you achieve the zoom in effect during the timelapse ?
  • Lucasberg (Joey) plus 2 years ago
    Thanks,
    Since the original pictures were 1920x1080 I zoomed in about 30% did a digital zoom in and out without any quality loss since I rendered to 1280X720.

    Damn now you got me interested in the little black box timer. Where did you get it and how does it attach to the hv20?
  • Lucasberg (Joey) plus 2 years ago
    It was $61 shipped from here gentles.ltd.uk/gentled/options.htm
    It's the gentled AUTO ,but you have to email him to tell him it's for a camcorder photo button feature. It's pretty fun and a cheap way to add timelapse. I just rubberband it around the W/A lens or the handstrap.

    Here is video from someone else who has it for the HV20. vimeo.com/731142

    I see they recommend the joystick be replaced with a simple switch, but I find their site a little confusing. Does that switch cost extra? Is it necessary? Did you have to do anything with the wiring after it arrived? Was it easy to figure out how to use it?
  • Lucasberg (Joey) plus 2 years ago
    Their site is confusing. It is the Gentled Auto with the switch. It was $61 shipped out the door , nothing extra was needed.Here are some pictures

    pbase.com/jra111/image/95305054
    pbase.com/jra111/image/95305056

    You set up the box by dialing the interval you want, I have it set every 3 seconds. Then set up your camera, set the manual focus, and exposure and then hit the switch on the box. Its pretty easy.

    So then it's just the box~~
    That's certainly much simpler than their site depicts.

    I wrote to them and will likely order it when I hear back.

    BTW, Why didn't you order the HV20 unit?

    I've successfully mated the hv20 remote with a 6 foot fiber-optic cable allowing the HV20 to get up-close without me frightening the wildlife, but your timelape has caught my attention.

    I gotta stop watching your videos! Your costing me too much! :-)
  • Lucasberg (Joey) plus 2 years ago
    How funny , I have been thinking of doing a remote likr that since the HV20 doesn't have Lanc.

    I got it for my HC3 because it was just sitting there, but it has so much less control and the PQ sucks compared to the HV20. I have been thinking of seeing how much to send it back and get reprogrammed. Although now I bought a TC-80N3 with it a timer for my Dslr so timelapses may come from them from Now on.

    I just got paid $500 for helping edit a football highlight video so I bought some toys.

    Hi Lucasberg,

    I am the Acting Editor of Child Education PLUS, a British magazine for teachers of children aged 4-7 years. In our April issue we have an article on short films, and feature Dandelion Open and Close, as inspiration for children writing poetry. Would it be possible to show a still from the film to accompany the article? We will of course credit the image and send you a complimentary copy of the magazine once it has been published (which is 18 June). Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or require further information.

    The article will also go online and we will have a hyperlink to the film.

    Best wishes,

    Charlotte Ronalds
    Acting Editor, Child Education PLUS
