I set up my Digital SLR to capture one frame every 15 seconds, and captured the entire process of paving a 250' driveway. Here it is, in it's entirety, in 54 seconds

  • Hi,

    I used a Nikon D300, with a 10.5mm Nikkor lens to capture the entire 220 foot length of driveway. It was mounted to a Manfrotto Tripod, and was controlled by a Nikon MC-36 Multi-Function Remote Cord, set to automatically snap a shot every 15 seconds. I assembled the video using iStopMotion software for Mac OSX.

  • For all you guys in the business, you're not doing your profession a lot of favors with the negative comments. I'm the home owner, not the paver.

  • All I did was take pictures. :-\

  • @bigblueb0ttle just curious.. why didn't the paving company string or lazer line a straight line on the right hand side of the driveway/camera.?

  • @613RL Good question. While I liked the project of getting a new driveway after years of trying to run a snow blower over it, I may have gone with the low-cost solution, and paid the price. Alas, as a consumer, I didn't know much about what I was doing. I've seen better jobs. But truthfully, it is holding up nicely.

  • @Thewolfeball INCORRECT, YOU DO NOT NEED 2 LIFTS FOR A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY.!

  • WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER LOOK IF THEY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE RIGHT SIDE. USE A STRING LINE AN MARK IT.!

  • wow!!! you guys are fast!!!

  • Go to russia making roads please!

  • You dont need no stinking binder run...A proper crushed rock and compacted base to 95% is all you need..if you have that a 2" lift will last 30 years plus. If you don't have that 3 lifts aint going to hold up!.. Yes the edge looks a little shabby but it might have been the line they were told to follow and may look way better in real life now with grass against it. ...everyone has there own way of getting their jobs done and or what they were told to do...and yes I pave.

  • Looks really nice.

  • they only did one coat on the driveway your suppose to do a binder coat then a finishing coat for ur driveway to really last and you do not need lazers to keep a straight line as long as you have a good person running the paver and the screwand u gotta make sure you tamp your edges lazers are used more for basketball courts and tennis courts

  • Them fuckin' gypsies can't half shift.

  • nothing wrong with any of that.. job looks great
