Time Lapse painting experiment

Last week, I went to a cookout at Turtle Beach on Siesta Key. I brought my paints and did a 3 hour oil painting sketch of the scene. I had a difficult time staying focused with many curious onlookers and interruptions. The painting needed a lot of work. A couple of days ago, I set up the painting in my studio and worked on it for an hour and a half or so. As an experiment -- I used my Canon Powershot digital camera and GBTimelapse software to shoot timed interval photos of me working on the painting to create a time lapse video. I made a 300 frame, time lapse recording of an hour and forty minute painting session. I shot 3 frames per minute = a frame every 20 seconds. I used Pinnacle Studio to play the frames back at 5 frames per second. That sped up the painting to one minute. This single frame capture method at timed intervals offers the opportunity to view a painting that took weeks to paint, in just minutes. My previous "time lapse" video clips were made by using a video camcorder, and later, fast forwarded.
