how to time lapse your child on film

Here is a trick for all parents who would like to record their child's growth. If you take a baby and place the baby on a flat surface, (sofa, bed, etc.) and film it with a video camera for just 30 seconds a day, buy the end of the tape, you will have over 2 years growth recorded. The camera must have a flying erase head to prevent jumps in the visual, or it must be digital. Imagine, sitting down with your child and just watching them grow before your eyes in a time lapse video. Then when the child gets to be too big to lay on the bed (approx 2 yrs of age), simply move to the tape measure in the door frame. Place a tape measure on a door frame and have the child stand next to it and repeat the 30 second shoot. We now have the growth to over the age of 4. Depending on how long you want to document their growth is the only obstacle that you have on this simple measuring trick.
