Fiat 500 Driving Timelapse

My favourite timelapse to date. Set up the 400D in the back seat of the 500 and then went for a drive, simple, but I really like it, and I think it came out quite well. I want to do a night time version of one of these in the future, as I think that'd be cool too :-)

is this a good car? i'm thinking about getting one myself

[charliestyr]

@Ricardowgr hi there :) I'd say it is a good car yes. We've been driving ours for 3 and a half years now and it's still pretty much like new. Runs well, good fuel economy and it's fun! You can get some pretty good second hand deals around nowadays (1.2L is a veteran engine that will live on and on reliability-wise) or if you are in the States I hear they're not selling well so I'm sure you can find a good deal somewhere! :)

@charliestyr oh thanks, I really want it now! Here in Brazil they are doing quite well (they come with a 1.4l engine that is pretty good =])

[charliestyr]

@Ricardowgr haha that's cool :) Yes, I enjoy the 1.2 but sometimes a little more oomph would be welcome which I'm sure the 1.4 provides!! You'll love the car if you get it, I hope you do :)

This is amazing :) and i love your car!

How did you get your camera to automatically take pictures? or did you do it manually?

[charliestyr]

@AlexStLaurent hey :) thanks for the comment! I just had a remote shutter release (around a fiver from eBay or similar) which has a 'lock down' feature, and then had it held down so the camera was shooting continuously until my memory card filled up (end of video). Hope this helps!! Charlie -

@bl0at3r the camera was mounted on a tripod, one leg on the rear seats, and the other two legs in the foot wells, one behind the driver and one the passenger seat. I then used the seatbelts of the rear seats to keep the tripod safe in case I had to brake hard, or obviously had an accident, don't want the camera flying around smacking me over the head! :-)

superb, I have been experimenting with time-lapse too. what lens do you have on the 400d? I guess something wide like the sigma 10-20?

how did you mount the camera?

[charliestyr]

@bl0at3r yes, this was recorded with the Sigma 10-20. Glad you like the video! Feel free to send me any of your timelapse experiments as and when you upload them I'd love to have a look! :-)
