Another Day of Labor under the Hot Studio Lights

For today’s time-lapse documentary, I chose Medium Quality on the Gawker software and 640 x 480 pixels. Those choices, along with a 45 second interval for picture-taking (vs. 30 seconds yesterday), resulted in a QuickTime file of only 24 MB, much smaller than yesterday’s 80 MB. The same start and end times were used.

The date and time stamp was also removed as it was unreadable following Blogger’s processing. That makes me wonder what the reduced size of the video file might be after the processing. Another wonderment is whether I could edit a QuickTime file on my computer without purchasing new software.....hmmmmm....That could be handy if I inadvertently exceeded Blogger's 100 MB maximum. Someday, I should at least invest in a Firewire extension cable so I have more flexibility in positioning the camera.

Today, Thursday, was mostly sunny but quite cold --- certainly not the best weather for melting snow. Below is the unedited output of almost 11 hours of intense filming. If you can spot any melting snow, go to the head of the class.

Hopefully, one of these days, the temperature will actually get above freezing!
