Stop motion candle experiments, testing new ideas and techniques
The whole process took around 10 hours, most of this time waiting for the wax to melt. For the swipe beginning at 15 seconds I took one photo every 5 minutes and lit a new row every half an hour.
Next I took a series of photos while gradually moving a desk light into position.
Finally, for the wax solidifying, I took a photo every minute and put out a row every 5 minutes.
If I were to repeat this experiment I would decrease the amount of time between lighting rows for the melting phase and have an another light source. Also a larger collection of candles would allow more detailed less jerky patterns. I am happy with the timing of the final phase (solidifying wax)
