Ever wonder what would happen to a dozen white roses if you put dye in the water? That was the premise behind this project. I had been told thats how you get blue roses simply take white roses and let them drink in blue water. I thought thatd make a good time-lapse video so I got all the ingredients together and got started. Well, the first attempt at this (done about two months ago and never uploaded) didnt turn out so well. For one, the dye seemed to go straight to the petal edges and then only spotted the rest. I also didnt like the composure, the set-up, and the lighting was insufficient. For v2 I improved what I could: I added better lighting, used a black background, and went from taking a frame every 60 seconds to every 75 seconds. I could not, however, improve the way the dye fed into the flowers. Here are the details: Total frames: 2936* Interval: 75 sec. Total Span: 2 days, 13 hours, 10 minutes Frames per second: 30, however video was later compressed to shorten and therefore youre probably seeing closer to 50 frames/second; or, to put it another way, for every 1 second of this video equates to about 1 hour of elapsed time. Unlike v1, I let the flowers sit in normal water for the first 4 hours before adding blue dye to the water (so at about 4 seconds into this video youll see the water turn blue). Then I let the blue dye take hold over the course of the next 24 hours. To spruce things up a bit, I then added yellow dye to the mix to get you guessed it the water …
