Digital Anarchy's Chief Executive Anarchist, Jim Tierney, has also done a video series on shooting time lapse which you can find on YouTube. It covers a variety of topics from setting the camera up and shooting RAW, to stabilizing the footage and, of course, deflickering the final time lapse sequence.
