Making Time Lapses For Builders/Teams

[MostlySnakes]

So eventually I will charge for this but in the mean time since my portfolio was smashed to bits on an old hard drive and I'm already bored this summer I am offering this for free because time lapses are actually fun/easy to make.

I will make a time lapse of your build whether its a personal build or for a server big or small I don't really care.

What's a time lapse?
time-lapse
adjective
adjective: time-lapse; adjective: timelapse

1. denoting the photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed, or in quick succession, the action seems much faster.

So I can make a video of a build you make that could have taken hours or days to make and I will show that build being created in a matter of minutes with some fancy ass music and shaders if you want.

How do you make these "time-lapses"?
I record using Fraps (sometimes El Gato software depending on desired quality) and I record the entire build process maybe changing perspectives randomly depending on length of build and all that shit gets saved on my 4tb external hard drive because that's a ton of recording. Then all that footage is rendered for usually quite a while sometimes days and some music is added and its done.

Time lapses are cool because they can add an extra layer of depth to a builders portfolio as they give a unique perspective on how the build is created and the time put into said build. They can also be used in cinematic server trailers.

So if you think this would be cool and want to give me something fun to work on then answer these questions in a PM or on the thread.

What is the build for?
How big is the build?-
How long do you think this build will take?-
How many people are working on this build?-
When will the build start?-

Or if its for a team and you want me to make time lapses for all your future builds thats cool just pm me.
Noting the answers to those questions don't really affect whether or not ill do it. Genuinely just because I'm curious.


Here is one of the real life time-lapses I made last summer if you have never seen one.


And here is a short test video I made on Arkham

Wouldn't this take up too much time for you with it being free. "rendered for quite a while sometimes days"?

I don't have to do anything while it renders. It just sits in the background doing it's thing while I don't even have to be at my computer.
Plus I need to rebuild a portfolio anyways.

Oh when I render on my PC I can't use my pc

I'm lucky enough to have a decent gaming laptop. I can be playing Just Cause 3 while stuff renders in the background.

Somewhat non related but if anyone wants an example of an actual non Minecraft time-lapse I added a couple to the thread.

You shouldn't use fraps and if you really want to, record at like 20~ FPS as it doesn't matter, You're going to spred up later on.

I have a lot of experience with recording gameplay and fraps is fine for this and thank you I know what I'm doing...

I've recorded alot too. The files just get so big if you record in too high FPS and it's not needed if you're gonna speed it up anyways. I'll get off your thread now. ;p

I hope you realize you can modify everything including frame rate.....
