It's really well executed, but I always get bored by such clips after about 30 seconds.
I do love a good timelapse. I'd love to have a go but it seems a very efficient way to murder your shutter.
This is a fine one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxCY4HWu5lE

It's not the act of doing it, it's just the quantity of photos taken.
If a 7d shutter is rated for 150,000 actuations then a time lapse over a period of hours might consist of several thousand photos taken.
Something like a compact without a mechanical shutter or something like a Panasonic GH2 which you can fiddle with to use the electronic shutter wouldn't have so much of a wear issue.

Yeah they can, but you could easily be talking a fair few hundred pounds, but in the grand scheme of things to create something like the above the amount spent on dollys, tripods and rigs, not to mention time and effort then a few hundred quid is the least of the expenses.
Thats excellent!
I can see the point someone made about getting bored by them after so long. Unless they are telling some sort of story then it can seem repetative.
Getting 5 months work into 4 minutes of video i'm fairly sure the photographer thought he was making it short!

Ok this is awesome, i remember trying a quick time-lapse with my old 600D and iMovie but it was absolutely poo, too slow. What software is needed to create something like this, or at least the speed of frame rates.

That is really cool, is it advised to not use your slr for time lapse then?

Nope (that is not the advice). You can do a Rhinelander on any camera that had manual settings and either an interval runner or a way of remotely triggering.
Interval is best because you can say you want 800 shoots taken 3 seconds apart etc.
A 'Rhinelander'???

Would it be beneficial to use live view?

exactly my thoughts. although I absolutely loved "breaking bad" tv series clips. it was stunning and well - they have the funds and also there was a story + you know the characters etc.
