Time Lapse House Build (faster)

When the family and I moved to Land O Lakes in April, 2007, we moved into a brand new subdivision with many houses still being built. With an empty lot right across the street from us, I set a camera in the boy's window and started taking pictures. Over the course of 4 months I took about 400 pictures. I then cropped and categorized the photos, trimmed the collection down to about 300 photos, and created a time lapse photography presentation of the construction process using a FREE program from Microsoft, called PhotoStory, and put the process to music performed by DJ The Joker, called "The Way I Build My House".

It was noisy. But it was worse for my kids, whose room I was shooting from. There is one frame (0:18) where they are pouring the foundation. They started that at 5am.

@Year1Media Well, I've never heard of anyone building a house to move into, people just move into houses that other people are moving out of. Also, the fact it's all made of wood, our houses are made of bricks and cement

@sedwarg Where are you? You don't build houses where you are? You just pick them up and move them? Tell me more.

[sedwarg]

How often did you set the camera to shoot and over how long a period.

I am about to do the same for a construction project estimated to last 10 months

Thanks
