However, there's one thing I really love about long projects that the Pocketship hasn't yet experienced and that is a TIMELAPSE of the build! As you'll see here (minus a few little lapses), we've managed to do a pretty good job of documenting our progress so far. The goal is to complete a video documenting the entire build from start to finish.
The setup is pretty simple. As you can see, I've built a little box for the camera to sit in and that gets pinned in place in the rafters. There's molded padding inside the box so even if you have to take the camera out to change the batteries or pull the photos off you can still put it back in the same place. Seems pretty good so far.
The camera gets hooked up to a cheap little timer that I ordered off Amazon and this forces the camera to take a picture every minute (or as often as you would like). With a few tweaks to the camera settings there's no need to focus or change the shutter, just set it and ignore (or forget entirely overnight...oops).
I don't yet have the latest batch processed and up but this is our progress so far. There's no sound and barely any processing, but if you can excuse the roughness it is kind of fun to see the boat come together. I'll keep updating this as we go.
