When you are experimenting with those time lapse tricks you might want a tip on how to mount your phone. I solved it with some aluminum foil. It can be easily formed to fit any surface and hold any phone. Simple as that. Just make sure you don’t short cut any of the connections at the bottom of your phone.
Now leave it in your window and make stuff like this.
hi Eirik, thanks for the cool idea. My old sony camera had a hole in it so I could mount it on my dad’s tripod. I barely use it anymore since I got new cellphone but I haven’t made a timelap vid. since.
Some parts of your video are really nice, specially the clouds and the fire. just wondering; what interval did you use between shots?
I used between 10 and 30 seconds. About 15 seconds for most of the clips. I say “about”, because the phone use some seconds to store the image, so I don’t know the exact interval.
…in general I found that about 15 seconds is nice for clouds when you want to play back at 25 fps.
Another thing you could use for a camera or phone support is a bag of rice or small beans. Works well and will not short circuit your phone.
Fantastic… weather in the mounts of Norway this summer… shoud have gone to UK as planned, Eirik. ;-D Nice tip though to use rice in stead of metal foil…. If you wanna experement, try a nice flower, daisy i.e., and a small blowtouch. use it gently on the flower between takes, and you will make the flower die in high speed. THEN! Make the video go backwards, and the daisy will burst into life!!! Sweet
Yes, the weather hasn’t been too good. But to be honest, I really don’t care. We’ve had two very nice weeks up there. Have even been camping out under the open sky.
Blowtorch. Flowers. Timelapse. Nice idea.
Just bought a new webcam (Logitech Quickcam 9500 or something) for our kiteclub. Remebered this article and decided to make a timelapse of the images. Only for one day, but it is only a test 🙂

Looks like it works very well!
