Exhibition Project – ‘Gogglebox’ test 15th May 2014

So I tested the ‘gogglebox’ time-lapse tonight.  My wife and I sat down and watched 24 hours in A & E.  I went for a low down angle, being close not to get massive knees, with the camera pretty close to the TV.

I had a nearly full camera battery and tried one shot every 10 seconds.  The battery lasted from 21:06:25 till 22:03:35, giving me 342 frames.

Playing these back at 25fps I get nearly 14 seconds of video, but it’s terrible, really flickery.

 

At 15fps I get about 23 seconds

 

At 10fps I get 34 seconds

 

At 6fps I get nearly a minute of jerky video.

I’m pretty happy with it, I think I got the angle right to get the ‘gogglebox’ feel.  About 15fps seems to be the best.
