Holly Tree Removal

This holly tree was kind of in the wrong spot. It is a nice looking tree, about 20 feet tall, and it seemed like a shame to move it with the chainsaw. So we contacted a firm to have it moved. They came with a special tree digging truck. Rather than shoot video or stills, I elected to make a time lapse series on a tripod. I didn't see a setting on this camera that would do it on a timed sequence, so I stood there and pressed the shutter button every so often. The stills were turned into video through Windows Movie Maker, each frame is up for a second. This was a pretty easy thing to do, enjoy!

Here is a description of how to make a video like this: http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/10/how-to_time_lapse_movie_from_photos....
