..in to videos

I am sure i've seen one on here but I saw one the other day where someone took a photo I assume once a day of his pregnant wife until she gave birth and then put it into a video.

Is it as simple as uploading them into something like iMovie and them being as short as possible so they flow very quickly to give the impression of a movie?

i think you are on about stop motion???

take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZtxHOfmhH4

im not sure how he would of done it but if you are on about what im thinking of it works like this

example
step 1
set up your tripod with the camera facing a empty bookcase take the first picture,
step 2
add 1 book to the bookcase take the next picture
step 3
add a second book to the bookcase take a picture
step 4
add a third book + take a picture
step 5+
do this to you have filled the bookcase taking a picture of each new book added taking care not to move the camera (use a remote control if its possible)

once you have filled the book case and took all your pictures go into your video software imovie windows movie maker etc. import all the pictures, and put them onto the time line (might be diffrent with imovie i use windows movie maker) with a timelapse of about 20th a second per picture (any time under a second each should work quick but not too quick) then click play and you see you pictures, come to life as the books are magicaly added to the book case

thats just the most simple of things you could do with it, there are many diffrent things to do

its quite fun very time consuming tho

Pretty much as Hayley says.

Older versions of Quicktime used to have this function as well but it got dropped for some reason.

How many pictures you take and what frame rate you set will determine the length of the video. In my experience the frame rate is very much scene dependent. Mine have usually ended up around 5-10 frames per second. This is a bit jerky but can give a good affect on some stuff. If you want smooth motion, you probably want to be aiming for 25 fps +.

If you're taking all your shots at once as in Hayley's example, I'd set the camera in manual mode so that the exposure is consistent. Ditto white balance.
 
This is the type of thing I was thinking of - http://vimeo.com/74249

How many photos would be needed to do something like this?
