Has anyone here done one? I’m getting some pressure to do a time lapse of the build, and although it wouldn’t be that difficult to do, I’m wondering if there would be enough interest to warrant going through the trouble of shooting and editing it.
I only have one GoPro (two would be better), and I of course would change the camera angle depending on what I was doing (more tightly framed if I’m soldering, for example), but has anyone here done one? If so, what sort of response did you get from it? Would there be interest in watching something like that, if it was, say…not very long, say 20 minutes or less (I’m imagining there would be times when I stopped the time lapse to highlight a completed step and film in real time for a minute or two, to go over what just got completed, or to precursor some step that was about to be completed, etc.
I would probably actually FILM the whole thing, but in editing I would shorten a lot of segments and cut some of the more mundane aspects (ie I wouldn’t necessarily need to time lapse applying all three or four coats of shielding paint, just enough footage to get the gist of what’s going on! LOL!)
I’m just trying to decide whether or not to do one, because I know that once the neck and body get here, the last thing I’m going to care about is having a fresh SD card, making sure the camera angle is good, and remembering to charge the battery packs….BUT….if it would be fun for people to watch, I might do it.
Several people have expressed interest, but I wanted to hear what the good folks here thought about it. Would ‘you’ watch something like that, or no? Pass or play?
