Hey guys, first off apologies if this is in the wrong forum, there doesn't appear to be any other forum that is specifically about the filming or anything, and I felt this thread would be even more out of place in the 'Recruiting' section.
I'm looking to film a time lapse of myself and a couple of others building a creation on our server. I'm gathering that I would park myself in the sky with Fraps on whilst the others get to work? Preferably I would get the footage as I can do some basic video editing and it's much easier than having to cart around megabytes of video data, but a the same time I would love to help out with the building.
I was also looking at the different modes of camera available on the single player commands mod, and recall seeing a SSP mod that had specialist cameras for filming.
So, techniques for filming time lapses and other creations? Thanks guys :biggrin.gif:

If you can't strive for perfection, what can you strive for?
Most time lapse videos I've seen someone has an extra account they use to do the filming and just sit it watching and if thats all you are doing you could just record is with fraps or a similar program and have your interface hidden
Now here's an idea. I hook up my computer to my TV, so I have both screens. I log onto a second account on the laptop screen, and record that whilst I play my account on the TV screen!
Bit painful though, minecraft hates my TV :/

hmmmmm i know i can record most stuff in fraps and decompress all in 1 file into under 2gb if an hour long if you neeed another account id say have an offline mode server and have a non-legit account do the recording.

The only question would be: How to record one minecraft and play the other...on the same computer!
