Great video! I would love to do a time sequenced photo thingy of a tarmac driveway being laid, watching us all moving about etc!!! Think it would be quite amusing to watch!

Might even get to do it one day

[cookiewales]

well worth it dave the punters can see how you do it properly and to standard the gaffer does a good job with his proper video camera mine was done with my normal one have had very good feedback it also sorts out the boys from the chaff would be a good idea to start with base prep and try and keep short 5mins give it a go its free advertising you cant lose

[Dave_L]

Yeah I'll look into doing something.

Time lapse photography is what I want to do, like the camera takes a pic every 20-30 secs when we're working, like.

Think I need to do a bit of research on how to do it.
