what kind of camera can you use for something like that? It was obviously well mouted, but it was very good quality for doing what it was doing

Time Lapse Cameras are usually set up in stationary forms. and are set to take one shot every few minutes. this Camera was not stationary, and ws definatly taking more than a few seconds of footage at a time. I think the guy mounted the camera in his back seat, and was turing the camera on every hour or so and filmed a few minutes. then edited out the parts where he would turn the camera on and off. to make it look smoother. then sped up the film to make it look like it was time lapse.

so you dont think its true time lapse? I mean, its obviously not, they change clothes instantly, but you only think he recodred a few min?

no its not true time lapse. True Time lapse would be more like recording one frame every day for a month, or one frame a minute for a day. In this case I would imagine he used something for professional than a simple digital camera. also probably had high speed film in it, and recorded a minute of film every hour or so. Similar effect, but not Time Lapse.

lol.. This is a repost.

The original post had some information from the guy that did it.

He videotaped the whole thing with a normal video camera. He had to swap tapes. There is some part where you can notice that he runs out of tape for a while before getting to replace it.

He then digitized the footage, and edited it using some program, speeding it up and removing something like half the frames.
