The raising of the tree

[plonq]

We put up the Christmas tree today, and while we have documented the event in pictures in the past, this year atara suggested taking a series of pictures as we went to see if we could assemble an animation.

I set up my camera on the tripod, and popped over to snap the shutter every couple of minutes. The camera moved a bit, and the lighting changed a few times so it has all the hallmarks that one would expect of a low-budged home animation. I like it.

This is my first attempt at making a movie of any kind. It is supposed to have music, but at some point Youtube is probably going to notice that the clips I used are from copyrighted work and, fair use aside, they will probably mute it.

Now that the tree is up, it's time to start with the baking.

What did you use to assemble the photos into an animation?

*edit* Never mind. I just watched to the end.

I think next year you should set it up to take one picture every 10 seconds whether or not you guys are standing in the way, then play it back with Benny Hill music :)
