This was a fantastic episode. I'd thought about trying some time lapse stuff ever since i discovered the EOS software makes it pretty easy, and now I feel ready to dive in!

A quick tip, After Effect have intelligent time stretch. If you time stretch frames, it can generate missing frames by analyzing existing ones, so you can produce much more fluent result.
