Dawn to Dark Time Lapse, September 14, 2019

When CSC completed its new football stadium in time for the 2018 season, I wanted to get a time lapse video of the first game, which would be played under the lights. I set up my camera before dawn that day, and recorded a good sunrise and daytime leading up to kickoff. About a half hour before kickoff, it became obvious that the thunderheads getting closer and closer were going to cause problems. Just before the rain came, I pulled the camera in, cutting the time lapse short just as the fantastic sunset clouds from the storm were coming in.
My goal then was to try round two the next year (round two in 2018 wasn't going to happen, since no other night games were scheduled). Come early morning on September 14, I set up the camera, this time so I could easily attach a rain cover and continue to shoot even during bad weather. Fortunately, the forecast was good, the sunset was great, and I got the time lapse.
The camera was a Canon G12 running the CHDK firmware and a time lapse LUA program at one minute intervals. I assembled the panorama in Premiere Pro at 30 frames per second, 1 frame per image, and 2 frames per image during the game.
