Most Loved Time Lapses of 2022

This is a compilation of my top 5 best time-lapse videos from 2022.
It features an extremely long, 450 day, potato time-lapse, which is followed by the blood time-lapse because you guys liked that very much. After that, in the 3rd position comes the whisky and cigar time lapse.
I had to give the 2nd position to the Yellow watermelon in soil time-lapse, which has fewer views than the red version of it, but this time the watermelon sprouted, and it's a better video in general, just for whatever reason youtube didn't push it, so this will be new to many of you.
The very best time-lapse on my channel from 2022 is the whole watermelon time-lapse, which took an unbelievably long time to create, 609 days.

Not sure why, but the watermelon in soil video could make me cry if well edited and produced. The cycle of life, seeing the plant grow from nothing is so fabulous it can get me emotional. Slightly like Yann Arthus Bertrand's movies on the beauty of our Earth, this type of video is so fascinating it manages to express the beauty of "growing". A total mystery, a "why" without any "because", it just grows and gives life. No explanation possible. That green colour is genuinely refreshing.

Awesome job and great picks! I really enjoyed the potatoes and slice of watermelon in soil. It was interesting seeing a time lapse of new life emerging from decay. Also did not expect the whole watermelon to last that long! It stayed green (different variations, but still green) for about a year! And the way the dried juices curled away from the dried rind at the end was really cool!

[@PhotoOwl]

Agreed! I was surprised too - I thought it'd give in way sooner. Kept me on ym toes :D

[@Vic47]

I think it also depends on the conditions in which they are kept. I remember when I was a kid my grandma rolled a watermelon under her bed by the end of the season and preserved it there for very long time (maybe even by Christmas or something. I can't remember exactly. Several months for sure and there was snow outside when we ate them.) So I guess a perfectly intact wetermelon can last even longer in a cold dark place.

i didn't realise you increased the moisture content as shown in the watermelon vid at the end which would affect each item placed under your lights for decomposition and now don't know which video you did this for which specimen (which is a major let down) . I wish you had added that as text to each video you showed 'cos it's not the same effect as a natural decomposition irl... Please do so in future videos.
