<div>Those videos are nice.</div><div><br></div>Cannon probably has it on their more advanced cameras but I'm much too cheap for that. :) But if you run CHDK on their point and shoot, apparently you get all these miles of features. I think it would be cool to have a camera shoot every 5 seconds or so but only triggered by motion. Once you have CHKD, the camera has face detection. It would be cool to have it take a few frames every time it sees a smile.<div>
<br></div><div>Actually, I have a dSLR on my todo list. That's a separate project. No rush, will probably take me a month or two to get to it as this CHDK will probably suck back some time for a while. :) <br><div><div>

</div></div>Apparently the Nikon DSLRs have an interval timer, but Canon is behind<br>
on this one... An external shutter release can fix this.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not using anything hacked to generate these. I just set up the<br>
camera on a tripod with a wired or wireless cable release and made it<br>
available for anyone to trigger. One was dinner christmas eve, another<br>
two were photo booths I set up at parties:<br>

<br>
I then used ffmpeg to assemble a series of .jpg files into a .mp4<br>
