CHDK is Cool!

April 7, 2010 5 Comments

So, while debating the intervalometer cost implications for my SLR – I decided to give the Canon CHDK a run for its money.  After downloading the CHDK for the A590 and making sure it didn’t break the camera I went out in search of an intervalometer script.  I think it’s a VB script, but can’t be sure…nevertheless the results were kind of fun!

I tried to include as much info in the teaser as possible, but if anyone has questions on how I did all this, feel free to share your questions (or feedback if you prefer) in the comments or vial email!  Here’s a dry run of my daily commute home (if only the real time commute went that fast!):

Happy shooting!  If you have your own time lapse productions, feel free to link them in the comments too!  See you back here again tomorrow… :)

    I use the Canon TC-80N3 which I have owned for years, with either a EOS 5D Mk II or 50D. You can see an example on my blog

    - best to click through to Youtube as the embedded movies are cropped for some reason.

    Compiling the still frames is relatively easy with Photoshop™. I then edit with iMovie. Don’t forget to record a separate sound track as this will add both realism and depth to your movie.

    I’m toying with making miniatures now, inspired by The Sandpit.
