Time lapse setup

[wheatgrinder]

Hi all,
Sorry if this is the wrong section..

In short, I have a camera, I can NOT take it to work, Im in an exotic location with an interesting view out my hotel window.. what to do .. what to do..

Alternatively, time lapse, a Good way to kill three hours in an airport terminal on standby layover! people going to and fro.. or airplanes landing taking of.

What are typical guidelines for seting up time lapse. My Camcorder (sony DCR-TRV27) has time lapse function, but Im not sure what are good settings, time between frames etc.

I thought a useful "stock" shot would be in the hotel room, as shadows move across the room. I have 5 working days, so I can try a few things..

My camera has supper night shot, strange green time lapse view out the window at night..

Any ideas, guidelines, how about requests?
Thanks



Thanks

set it up to your liking then speed it up in post. This will make choppin stock camcorder timelapse perfect. I shoot 15 frames every minute then speed that up 1000%. I like the results.
