I might suggest one shot for every hour of hiking, which might net you 80-100 stills per week. After the hike, edit each week's images to fit a timespan of a minute's worth of video, yielding a full video length of perhaps 15-20 minutes. I can't imagine being able to stomach much more than that, given the quick cuts between each shot. Nor could I imagine being able to sit through a slower movie than ran for much longer than that, at least while only staring at fleeting images without narration or some other form of stimulation. <br><br>Even at one image per hour of hiking, don't underestimate the extra determination and
logistics it'd take to keep that up over the course of 4 or 5 months of walking, even if the process were largely automated. On the CDT, the walk itself is plenty challenging in its own right.<br><br>All that said, it would be neat to see such a project for each of the triple crown trails. So good luck bringing it to fruition on the CDT with the support of the community.<br><br>Brett<br><br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 10/20/12, cdt-l-request@backcountry.net <i><cdt-l-request@backcountry.net></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:39:49 -0600<br>From: Shay Blackley <<a href="http://us.mc845.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=shayblackley@gmail.com">shayblackley@gmail.com</a>><br>Subject: [Cdt-l] Help create a unique time lapse of the CDT<br>To: <a

I hiked the AT<br>in 2009 and the PCT in 2010. And as we all know you hike 1 or 3. So I'm<br>starting my planning for my CDT hike, but I want to do something that has<br>never been done before and will help out the trail community. But I need<br>your help in doing so. I want to create a time lapse of the CDT, taking 1<br>picture every 10
seconds. I don't have the exact route planned yet, but I'm<br>planning on hiking Northbound starting at Columbus. I want tho create this<br>as a resource for the community. For people that have hiked the CDT and<br>want to relive it. For people that are planning on hiking it and want to<br>see what it's like. Or people that would love to hike it but because of<br>reasons are unable to at this time.<br><br>I need your help to get the equipment for this project. I am not asking for<br>anything to help me pay for the hike, and I'm not asking for help to make<br>money. This will just cover the cost of equipment and afterwards I would<br>love to provide it to the community.<br><br>I am not trying to break any records in doing this so, just want to add to<br>the information out there for a trail that is not very well known and<br>covered in a veil of mystery.<br></blockquote></td></tr></table>
