Time lapse film of Charlotte sleeping

What do you do when you have a HDD camcorder with infrared recording, a tripod, a baby daughter and you're a geek? Why, make a time lapse recording of your daughter sleeping of course! This condenses a night with Charlotte into approx. 5 minutes. Enjoy!

For the geeks out there wondering how I did this, firstly I've got a HDD camcorder so it can record up to 7.5 hrs in one go. So, setup on a tripod with the infrared recording on I could just leave it, switching it on and off with the remote as and when we had to take her out for feeds. Then once I'd got the video on the laptop I simply used the “Speed Up, Double” effect in Windows Movie Maker 5 times on each clip, nothing too fancy. This made the length of the whole film about 5 mins. Publish and upload to the web, job done!

Is this going to be a regular experiment? If so, at what age will you stop spying on her? Or do you play to continue doing this until she moves out, just to make sure that she doesn't get into any mischief while she's living under your roof?BTW, mixing geekery with babies does not necessarily stop you from being a baby bore you know... ;-)

I'm sure after the first hour she sticks her middle finger up at the camera!!!! Maybe its her subtle way of telling you she doesn't want to be part of your technological experiments!This comment posted by
