Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I found this javascript library thing that interests me quite a bit. It's called Hyperlapse, and it is good at creating time lapse movies with movement from Google Street View.
Here's an example video, it's pretty impressive.

I have pretty much zero coding abilities. I briefly did html web design chopup work with tables in the mid 2000's, but that's as far as it goes.

The code for it is up on https://github.com/TeehanLax/Hyperlapse.js . What i'm hoping to do is make a few videos of my hometown. (I sometimes miss it)
How hard is it to get something like this running? Is it out of my reach?

I'm on OSX, but do have access to Windows 7 if that matters.

Probably, considering

Looking at some of their samples there doesn't seem to be anything terribly complex going on (though it's a really novel concept... drat Teehan + Lax for always making such great stuff), but if you have zero coding abilities, it'll probably end up being an exercise in frustration. Getting it into a video format is going to be the most difficult part as it's not doing that by default... it's all just HTML and JS. You'll have to use capture software, or maybe somehow batch download all the images it grabs or something.

I might try the Goons for Hire thread.

The video capture part is the easiest bit, i've got capture software. Fair call about lack of coding experience, I might hit someone up in that thread if I get stuck.

There's a front end for it.

http://hyperlapse.tllabs.io/

Map your route, and when you want to record (you're gonna have to use some type of screen capture software) and remove the controls, type this in the address bar:
code:
javascript: jQuery('.overlay, #logos, #controls').css('display', 'none');
to undo this, type:
code:
javascript: jQuery('.overlay, #logos, #controls').css('display', 'block');

The front end is really only good at short distances, I may just stitch a few short bits together and see if I get away with it. That code definitely helps, thanks a heap!
