App That Takes Pictures Constantly?

[Remordere]

Here's my project,

I'm going to take a picture of myself every second. One picture = One frame that will eventually going to be a movie.

But I need an app that takes pictures on me constantly with little time apart. Do you know any app that does that?

If you have Tasker you can setup a task to do that.

If Tasker is using the Android SDK AlarmManager, then scheduling task to be run at each second is going to over-load the service tremendously. For app of this nature, we should be developing using other SDK classes instead.

Actually I am curious, I believe most Android smart-phone come with both camera and camcorder in it isn't it ? Using the stock Camcorder will be the better choice instead of simulating it by asking the camera to snap at every second.

Unless the OP is looking for a hybrid between camera and camcorder and that is the interval is set to say 3-5 seconds to get a "movie" ? It never fail to amaze me on the app request posted by users in this forum but I believe are there enough users asking for such feature?

Hmmm...

With the video trim app VidTrim (Pro) you can look at the single frames of every video.

If every 30 seconds would do for you, then have a look for "Lapse it" on the market.

You could potentially use Daily Road Voyager. It's meant for use during driving but it will take photos at a pre-defined interval, e.g. 1 per second.

If you shoot video instead as someone else suggests you can extract out the frames of an .avi using VirtualDub (open source, just Google it). File > Export > Image Sequence. There is other free software on PC/Mac/Linux that will export videos into frames.

Good luck.
