Two years ago, I decided I would record a Winter Village time lapse video while we set up for Atlanta Brick Con 2021. I’ve never done a time lapse video, so this was definitely a new thing for me. Don’t judge me that it’s taken me this long to share it with you!
I wanted to share photos with you all, because it was a really amazing show. There were so many great builds and PeachLUG did an awesome job with representing at what has quickly become known as our hometown LEGO convention.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find them. (Think they are on an older phone of mine that I never backed up.) Whomp. Whomp.
Our Winter Village Time Lapse
Enough with the photos, I know. So without further ado, here is our Winter Village time lapse video!
We added a few tricks during our tear down session this year to speed up future setups. But since we’re planning on changing our layout (yes – you read that right!), those might not be as helpful as we hope. That’s a post for another day.
How I Created the Time Lapse
As I mentioned, I’m new to creating time lapse videos. Honestly, I was planning on setting up my camera with a time lapse trip (even had this little beauty queued up in my Amazon shopping cart). Then I discovered that my new phone had a time lapse option and opted for a multi-function selfie stick that also serves as a cell phone tripod.
If you’re curious about the tripod, this is the one I purchased. However, I would recommend one that has a quick release for your phone. I found it annoying to have to screw in my phone to secure it.
