Two Years of Fungi Time Lapses - Behind The Scenes & Tutorial - Inspired by Fantastic Fungi

Huge thank you to Pro424 for letting me use the track "At First Light" - Link to the track: https://open.spotify.com/track/2ctAEv4xpkZvMybvLttMGj?si=_kPUbl-qTAaZROHJ52HKnQ

This is by far my longest and most ambitious video to date! If I would compile all the hours spent on making these time lapses and count in all the failed attempts, planning, editing, recording, it would be a lot of hours. Sometimes the cameras were rolling for weeks on end. However, it feels amazing to finally show these clips in HD. It's this format the clips were ment for.

Two years ago, me and a friend (Petter - who has appeared on this channel plenty of times), started an instagram account called Stockholm Fungi: https://www.instagram.com/stockholm.fungi/
A few months later the amazing documentary Fantastic Fungi was released which inspired us to film time lapse videos of growing mushrooms. As I talk about in the video, there are some things you need in order to make similar time lapse videos yourself:
Camera
Tripod
Power source
Spray bottle
Light source
A box

The first prototype of the box was a black storage box that I added LED-lights to. Cut a hole for the tripod and then I placed the box over wild mushrooms outdoors. This allowed insects and snails to get inside the box and "contribute" to the film. This is one of the major differences between this film and Fantastic Fungi. The latter is obviously a lot better and shot inside a studio, while my film is filmed inside a small box... Anyway, the latest prototype is a lot bigger (4X) and has a lid. I've been using a relatively cheap camera (Canon 80D), and cheap equipment (the special battery only costs €25). So I hope this inspires others to try filming fungi time lapses themselves.
