Gardening for ADHD

I bought a JiffyGarden kit at Wal-Mart. I originally bought it as a diversion from my normal life behind the computer screen. You know, get back to nature.

That didn't last long. I thought it would be pretty cool to do some time-lapse photos. I took a frame at 3-minute intervals, which comes to about 1.5 hours per second of video.

From left to right, we have congo watermelons, patio tomatoes, cayenne peppers and "Better Boy" tomatoes.

I hope to keep updating this, and eventually add a soundtrack.

If anyone knows of any good free (preferably open source) programs for converting a series of JPEGs to a video, please leave a comment. Right now, I am using a small program called jpegtoavi, and then using WME to shrink it to a reasonable size.

Mr. 14:

I apologize that this video and the attempt at a mildly-humorous title did not meet your satisfaction.

My goal is to please everyone on the Internet. Since you feel this video did not meet YouTube's stringent quality criteria, I have enclosed a 110% refund.

If you were expecting information on agro-therapy for ADHD, perhaps it is a worthy research topic. Post your findings with your other fine videos, or at least enjoy the traffic increase from linking to my pointless vid.

cool. how did you do this and what is ADHD?

Seeing as I never got around to answering this, I had a web cam on a portable computer, and I used the "Timershot" Powertoy for Windows XP to take a picture every 3 minutes. I used another program to convert the JPEGs into one big AVI at 30 frames/sec (I think), and then used another program to reencode and optimize the humongous file.

I'm wondering,what kind of paper is the dirt in?

Where did you get it from?

[NOmeansnoFAN]

try pinnacle for free off the net. It will provide the desired effect.

Great video! Love it !

Not sure if you are still looking for a great free program to make photos into videos etc. but Google Pinnacle videospin 2.0. I did a video with pics, and also added video clips, and chose my own music to create one video. I have one example of using Pinnacle Videospin on Youtube called "Holiday Express 2009" - (it's not a very good vid becuz I was in a hurry) but it gives you an idea. It's easy to use and FREE (my favorite price)
