I wanted to make a timelaps video of the making of an infinity clock, (practice for the timelaps bookbinding) ,however the camera i used can use its battery faster than i can charge it.
it recorded until the point of getting the lights working, i only noticed it had stopped after the clock was complete.

make sure the clock mechanism has got 12 in the right place, mine was a bit off so adjustments were made, took some photos whilst doing this as the initial video failed.
