Vincent Twin rebuild, time lapse movie

[jellywrestler]

After five years my Vincent twin's restoration will be finished in the very near future.
When I started building the front end I strapped a camera to a pole in my workshop and took a piccie every time I fitted a part.
I now have around sixty piccies that I want to convert into a movie, time lapse style.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this all please

Sorry can't help witht the time lapse.

I'm interested in the GS as well. Round indicators would make it the original version?

yeah she's a nice toy, removed the original factory chain after last ride, so is losing some her originality

I'd do it with Flash MX but your probably don't have it otherwise you probably wouldn't have asked. You could do it with powerpoint but that would be lame.

A quick google turned this up http://www.ghacks.net/2009/09/17/turn-photo-sequences-into-time-lapse-movies/

Be sure to most the result!

If you have Windows XP or Vista you can use Windows Movie Maker to drag and drop the photo's in, set the time interval at about 0.5-1sec. You can add titles and music too (all pretty much drag and drop).

Then you export/compile it to WMV format and upload to youtube (if you want).

Send the Vincent to me and I'll take care of everything..

Glad to hear momentum has carried on & you're almost there. Good luck for first ride.

I just checked with my resident geek IT nerd and he also suggested Windows Movie Maker.

It needs to be said that my resident geek IT nerd is my ginga ninja 12 year old son. He makes Lego movies and posts them to youtube.

If you have a Mac, then iMovie would handle this easily

Haven't got a clue on how to do this best in Windows (my 10 yo says Movie Maker), but if you post the pics on Flickr or something (or send them to me) I'll make them into a movie for you. I assume they're all taken from about the same vantage point? Are they dated or sequenced in any way?

If you have Windows XP ).

magic thanks,
I went in and have made a small movie with the vincent black shadow song overlayed.
the camera is cable tied to a pole on a tripod and so apart from having to take the camera down twice to empty memory and change batteries is pretty consistent.
The movie looks great, i still have a handful of parts to fit then i'll post something somewhere.
And here's me been justifying buying a pretty computer cause its great to look at porn when there's other things one can do with it!

With your bikes I reckon you've pretty much combined the two: moto-porn.

Great idea by the way.

Awesome idea.
Might do similar on final assembly of my project*, after inititial dry build/setup (several years and locations so not practical to record 'real' progress). Great way of showing the work and time involved, look forward to seeing the result.

* Sadly this is not a Vincent...

it was not workable to do the whole bike so i decided just to do the front end, bike hasn't moved at all as it is up on blocks and camera is fixed in one place initial results show it to have worked really well and once someone pointed me in the right direction on the computer its breeze. the vincent is just another bike too, they're all relatively equal in my mind,,

So we going to get to see this video?

wont be for a few weeks as i've got some stuff at the electroplaters, which takes time, and then i'd like to finish it off with firing her up, depending on time and working away from home etc
