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

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

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.
