Amazing I am so glad they got funding !
I have done a three month project with a Nexus 5. The cool thing about the nexus 5 is that it can send the images from the device to my Google drive via wifi after each shot. Then I can create small versions of the whole timelapes thought out the process without touching the camera, This lets me make sure that there isn’t any problems during the shoot. The problem is that camera on the nexus 5 isn’t great. Your welcome to use my set up if you like.
I have also used webcams, on a RPi with “motion” application running as a security camera for my front door. Its been running for the last year. Taking horrible photos (my face looks horrible not the actual photos) of my face every time I open my front door. The awesome thing about the RPi set up is that you can remotely update the configuration if you notice any problems with it as its running.
I would also talk to @lukecyca he created a photo booth with a Cannon camera and a Raspberry PI. He might have some good advice for you.
@jon Might be a good person to talk to as well because of his job.
Good luck with this project !
I can’t wait to see the results… literately I can’t wait… and you should post some small version (7 days etc…) of the time lapse during the project so we can see what its going to be like. Amazing !
