Blue cheese burgers in a time lapse video

Time lapse video is a technique that I've used only a few times. But there's something appealing about the jumpy takes. Here's my best effort, shot in 2010: http://youtu.be/5Yj2KnZwgK8 I parked the camera on the hood of a car in the driveway and connected a Macbook to the camera. The Mac and simple software enabled me to get a steady series of shots. But you don't need a computer to make a time lapse video. Just click and move things. Click again. The real key is a tripod or other stable mounting spot. If the camera does not move, the effect is maximized. Try making your own. You'll notice this one was only 40 seconds long. Plenty of time to be effective.
