I wanted to test the idea before going to the film day as it would allow me to ensure that it all works.
Furthermore, It would help me to improve on the concept.
What I did first was set everything up to do the real time hyper-lapse. This turned out to be a failed attempt for a number of reasons.
Firstly, I started with only allowing a 3 second interval between each shot. This meant, as I was on my own, that I would need to accurately move the camera 1mm and check to see when I would need to move again.
Secondly, I controlled the camera through my computer using a free software called DIY photobits. This allowed me to set in how often the camera should take a picture. Unfortunately, the camera didn't store any of the pictures to the computer or memory card, so I didn't have a test run.
Therefore from doing this test I established I should leave a longer time frame between each shot and have a friend to tell me when to move the camera. I also learned how to use the software better after carrying out the first test.
