This weekend I set up a camera in my booth at the Manayunk Arts Festival in Philadelphia, PA. The camera took a photo every 30 seconds for the entire show. Here is the time lapse video from Sat.
I liked it Evan - gives a good idea that people were coming through , the odd quiet times and to see you interactive in your booth :) And boppy music to watch it with!
Michelle: Sales were good. Given the amount of people that were there, sales should have been even higher, but over all I did very well.
Dave: I plan to shoot one of a setup/breakdown at some point.
Nels: I totally agree, the video gets painfully boring pretty quickly. I was hoping to make the video a max of 1:20 long, but I guess I shot too many photos for that. I know nothing about video editing, in fact this is the only one I have ever made so a "B" sounds good to me! As for changing angles, thats something I thought about doing, but I pretty much set the camera, left it alone and concentrated on the show. In fact the batteries died twice and I missed a few half hours of shooting over the weekend. To remember to move the camera, and to find the time to do so, may be more of a pain in the neck. Perhaps to solve that I could try setting up a few cameras at once though.
dd not see many sales being done--nice video, but it gets boring keeping everything from the same point of view, next time move camera around to three or four different spots. I give give you a grade "B" for your efforts, Nels.

I like it. Its a cool idea. A setup and take down would be interesting to see. Overall a great start.

Interesting! I would like to do time lapse of a show setting up sometime. Pick a relatively high spot and watch the tents pop up.
So howd you DO? It was hard to sell if you were making many sales.
