    Olympus makes the SP510UZ which has the time lapes feature. It takes one pix from on minute to how ever long you want the time difference to be. One short fall is that it will only take 99 pictures in a row, not an endless amount. It does take the 2 gig xd card which will give you about 500 pix at best rez.

    I think the Canon S3 also does the time lapes thing.

    I guess you guys know this but I will offer it anyway.

    Check the temperature around the drive, as the temperature gets closer to absolute zero physical things tend to slow down.

    THIS IS A KNOWN FACT!

    I sometimes re do the effect starting from scratch, as in select the footage in the source monitor and picking a different frame one frame forward or back and splcing it into the time line etc.

    I also have had some luch by selecting the effected clips with the red arrow and selecting render selection.

    Sometimes it works sometimes not.

    I cant imagine not capturing every shot and every segment of every tape individually while I watch it all. I can think of dozens of projects which I have made better because I watched every frame as I am capturing, something producers sometimes fail to do. Its slow, it can be boring but it works and works and works.

    I guess its old school in a new school discipline. I would go so far as to say I prefer digging from an analog source so I can better tweak the look, on EVERY shot.

    I cant help but to repeat a funny joke that was said on the set of Barry Lyndon as reported by American Cinematographer.

    The night scenes shot around a table lit ONLY by candle light was done with candles that had three or more wicks. So, when some one might ask, how many foot candles do we have, all you have to do is count the candles!

    As an example of how Stanley Kubric always broke the mold, he took his new 25×1 zoom, made by of all companies Canon, and put the thing on a camera that was mounted on a dolly track and DOLLYED AT FULL TELE!! This was done on one of the battle scenes.

    I think one of the teams of this thread is not doing things in a way because they are always supposed to be done that way, like three point lighting as an example. Even the greats think out of the box, or should I say of course the greats work out side of the box. Of course it takes some time to have the skill that lets you do that and get away with it.

    I think a good example of this so called Hollywood look, yet done in a different way might be most of S> Kubricks films. The ones he did in England (all the later ones) were done with very small crews and LOTS AND LOTS of time.

    Its a complealy different type of film making and to my eyes it works. In fact, it ight be the best way to slog your way through a film rather then all those tucks and permits and people and paperwork etc.

    I have thought for some time that young film makers would be better off taking their time making the film of their dreams. They could do many reshoots and tweek the look so it has the, dare I say, Hollywood look. So much of indy film making is people apeing what the big boys do and its not money efficent, and it shows. The “we gota build and army to shot this thing” mentality is the road to an ugly looking thing. Unles of course you have the money.

    Clark took my hand and walked me through the whole trip. He was a gentleman and I sense that everything will work once we do what he told us to do.
