timelapse: dying flower

short (~8 hour) time-lapse of a hibiscus flower dying over-night. They bloom and wilt rather quickly, though i think i sped the process up by putting a lamp on her overnight.. oops :/

hi

would u be able to make a slower version of this?

[glenneroo]

it's possible but the slower it goes, the less smooth it will be.

why?

[littlemeow100]

@glenneroo oh its because some cameras do layers every second the slower it goes it shows the layers but ones that dont do layers work fine thats why you cant do it with animations lol hope that made sense XD

[glenneroo]

There are no layers here, its just because i only took a picture about every 30 seconds, and more importantly, i lost the original footage so i only have the converted video which is at 24fps (sadly). This means in order to slow i have to rely on video editing software to create new frames in-between, which is just a trick since the frames dont actually exist.

i definetly just cried a bit while watching this :(

poor flower...

[glenneroo]

sarcasm? if not, it's just nature running its course :)

[DaBatman01]

lol

no i'm serious

i actually cried a bit while watching this.

i understand that it's nature running it's course....it's just that watching it all happen within a matter of seconds.........it's beautiful though

The flower had its heart broken and couldn't wait any longer for her true love to come back so she committed suicide and now waits in heaven..thats what the video said to me anyway. 5*****

In the end, it became a Japanese tentacle monster.

Wow, didn't know they twist themselves up like that...

[sbnthfitz]

I want to use this for something can I have your permission? I can't tell you what it is though.

Lovely and touching. . Death and endings can be as beautiful as life. I especially love how the petlas spiral and curl in, and how flower clings on the vines in stillness for a while and then drops off. Thanks for posting and thanks to my friend Ulla for showing this to me. Life is fleeting. Enjoy and appreciate every moment and see death as part of the magnificent life cycle.
