Time lapse screencap video of a games programmer

Here we have one of those multi-talented programmers I keep talking about. The same programmer did the code, high-quality sprite illustration, and even the music to the youtube video (which was pretty good, and matched the nature of the time lapse video).

I am inspired by this. I'm going to do this the next time I work on a game. Has anyone used time-lapse screencap software they can suggest?

Awesome. I'd love to see a meatspace time lapse on the side, or in a small box-in-box.

I think that watching a five minute video like this of my day before I went home would be more motivating than reviewing my Rescue Time statistics.

To me the really impressive part is his ability to stay attentive. He never strayed away, starting surfing the web etc.

That game is from the Minecraft guy [1], here is his blogpost [2]. [1] http://www.minecraft.net/ [2] http://notch.tumblr.com/post/998637682/minecraft-alpha-v1-0-...

I just wanted to present a warning about Minecraft: That game is distilled binary crack. I have lost a couple of entire days to the damned thing, and I only purchased it a couple of weeks ago.

So just be careful if you try it out.

I'm a recovering Minecraftoholic.

Yeah I'd really have to be disconnected to pull that off heh.
