This is freaking genius! It feels like that every time you have a complex problem the solution is so simple. So simple in fact that they make you feel embarrassingly stupid. Oh well, no one knows of my stupidity so I’ll keep things that way. Timelapse egg timer.. xD Who would have thunk it? I surely haven’t.
I got this youtube video project that I couldn’t finish yet, because I couldn’t get a timelapse shot long enough, but I have a feeling I might have found the right tool for it. I can’t tell well enough how smooth the transition is based on the clip on the video here, but I guess I’ll just have to figure that out on my own. If I’m able to upload my video by tomorrow, it’s all thanks to you guys.
I’ve got through 6 freaking timers trying to figure out how to put a screw in the middle of the bottom with out messing up the gear… I feel like an idiot after watching this video.
