This year I've done the timelapse on the iPhone using an app called TimeLapse (currently £1.19) taking a pic every 5 mins. Quality isn't as good as the video last year, but it was much faster and easer to produce.

I attempted to use ReelDirector on the iPhone (currently £2.99 on special offer) to pull all the images together, but it seems to do a pan and zoom effect to each picture rather than letting you just flick to the next shot. This is a shame because the shooting, editing, uploading and writing of this post could of been done so easily on just the iPhone alone.

I dropped all the shots onto the desktop and dragged them into Adobe Premier Elements to create the following video (music is added with YouTube's AudioSwap).

Last years Christmas Tree TimeLapse video is in HD resolution as I used my SLR camera on a tripod with a slow shutter to get the blur.

Oh, yes, it's the same tree and decorations ... recycle, recycle, recycle!

Update:

I've just tested iTimeLapse Pro iPhone app (£1.79) It even renders the video & music! here is my sample: http://j.mp/5jCXZN
