Oof, I let this one on the back burner a bit too long, as I was considering finding some music and such for it (proper copyright, etc.). While I may still do that if I throw this one out to the public, here's at least the part that makes it a time-lapse in the first place. I do feel like my portraits work better for time lapses, those have more steps and detail focused on smaller areas instead of spread around a big environment. But that may be just my opinion. Either way I hope this one works for y'all!

And further here's some insight on what goes through my mind trying to figure out how I want to do time lapses:

Recorded at 1440P, my PC seemed to manage that, but I did also put the recording's frame rate only to 2 or 5, considering I'd lose a bunch of frames anyway by speeding it up I wouldn't need that many (if it's only ever to be a time lapse that is). Saves up on drive space and still allowed me to do 60 FPS for the final version.

Since I tend to use at least 32x speed ( 64x in this case), even recording at 2 FPS should suffice if I'd want it to be 60 FPS. While 30 FPS would still be tolerable too. I just wouldn't really be able to use this method for other types of videos. Think, videos that are more tutorial. But those would be shorter and more focused anyway, probably not 10+ hours of footage. But then what if I wanted to use a part of a full painting as example in a tutorial?!

Future monke problems, I'm not even doing tutorial videos... (yet?)
