There are few theories about the meaning of the song lyrics. One theory is that Joe was a heavy drinker. Moonshine has the potential to blind people, so people suspect that his eyes were turned a milky white after being blinded by alcohol. Another theory says that it is possible that whoever Cotton-eyed Joe was actually had a medical condition that caused his eyes to turn white. Glaucoma or cataracts will cause this symptom, as does one other condition that leads into another theory, syphilis. 👻☠️🤭
I came back to this video again after about a year since watching it the first time. That intro is solid gold. Beautifully written and executed.
Thank you for talking about how taking video and speeding it up is a way to do time lapse. I have been watching videos of how other people do it. Nobody calls sped up video a time lapse it was confusing as hell to me. That is what i think of when i think of a timelapse. Subbed because this is a dope video.
Thanks for taking time out to explain concisely the 3 method for time-lapse. Quite educative and informative.
Great video. Very helpful.

Truth!
With Sony cameras you can get 4K and motion blur by combining method 1 and 2. Just film normally and drop your shutter speed down to 1/4th second you'll be able to then speed that footage up by 600% and still get a 1:1 frame readout with motion blur so it's nice and smooth. Downside is that like method 1, you get big file sizes and you need to process that speed change in post.

That’s a fantastic point! You do lose the ability to go back to real time in the middle of a timelapse which was my main attraction to method one. But if you know you want a timelapse only, then that would totally work! Cheers!
Hey buddy, thanks for the amazing tips. I have a question and was wondering if you could help me with that. I use canon 77D (A pretty old one). The problem is whenever I have shot timelapse with that, I brought up a video straight out of the camera. However I would like to know if there is a way I could get the number of photos that I have shot separately as raw from the camera but not the direct video, whithout using a intervelometer.
I never used it, but I'm thinking about using it for showing my process in painting in the future
Recently bought an a6600 as my first proper camera. I didn't even know that S&Q was a timelapse feature haha. Knew about 1st method, and the 3rd method, so I'll give that a shot (pardon the pun)

How do i set up the a6500 to take photo timelapse with variable auto iso? A6500 does not have a built in intervol. I have the free app but when it kicks in the camera locks on the first photo settings no matter what the camera settings are. will the external intervol still allow the camera to auto expose?
Hello, I bought a hero 8 & put a time laps of 5mn between pictures to capture my flowering tree of life over the next 3 months ... Would you say that is good for a 5mn vidéo?

Hi, why the timelaps made with the eos R6 have frames with alternating darker and lighter exposures, both with the exposure setting on the first frame and on each frame?
I still prefer method no.3. Using Lightroom combined with LRTimelapse will make a smooth and flicker free timelapse, especially day to night or night to day timelapses when light changes. I do agree post processing take a few hours but end result is worth the effort. Anyway, great video..not much video explains about timelapse. Keep up the good work.

Hi there Dunna Honestly I‘m a bit of an iPhone & iPad Nerd (just WITHOUT the whole camera & photo topic) but last night I‘ve been "Lucky" to download a once $ 9 app (Movie Pro) for free. I know, I know an iPhone (even with the BEST CAMERA/PHOTO APP OF THE WORLD) is NOT COMPARABLE with for example a SLR Camera. But in my defense, (2day I received a mail that my PREORDERED 15 Pro Max, will arrive within the Next 2 days) is the camera of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, not the worst cell phone camera. So if I dig at least 50 % of Your TUTORIAL, I might start using not only all the STANDARD OPTIONS (as before)of my new iPhone, BUT EVEN TRY OUT The Camera and EVEN HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
i mostly use them as day to night transition or timepass sessions

Definitely method #3 for most of my timelapse as I like the best quality but I don't dislike method #2 every now and again for fast time lapses of people walking on the street and me doing silly things :)
Is the second Method or intervall better for timelapsing growth of a plant?
Weird but it seems the time lapse feature that used to be in the camera app in Windows 10 is gone in Windows 11. Can you recommend an app for that which is free to use for non-commercial?
Number 3 it is for me 🎉
Nice video Dunna Did It. And not a bad like to dislike ratio lol. Personally I’m a #3 kinda guy, and ironically posted my first Timelapse video on here last night. Love the DSLR and shooting in RAW, but I’m considering taking a go pro and a 360 one X with me to shoot if I see a second angle I could get. (would love a second DSLR but let’s use what we have at our disposal lol) Anyway, great video and looking forward to more :0)

Which affordable Sony cameras do method 2?
Third method, Canon 1DX Mkii, seperate intervolometer, RAW, POST to JPEG. Have shot sunsets, fireworks, clock face, candle burning.
I would add that the 3rd method can drain out your camera shutter count relatively quick. Unless of course your camera has a silent mode ('electronic shutter').

This is going to be great when I’m on holiday and just wanting to clip together some clips on rush for a little edit. Can’t believe I hadn’t figured this out earlier. You can only film in 1080 at low bit rate but won’t matter if it’s just being watched on tiny instagram canvas. I have got a dongle for SD and this only works for photos, maybe it will work for MP4 files as well
