Timelapse - time between captures

Hey,
I want to create a timelapse video of my development during Ludum Dare. Does anyone of you have any experience with a good time interval between frame captures? For one, I want to use as few images as necessary to keep the video short and my HDD empty but you should of course be able to follow the progress of the project and the development.

Thanks!

 

You can grab camstudio, set it to x264 codec and set it to a large interval, like a minute. That's assuming you're on windows. 15 seconds interval would be good enough too, but last time I tried to do something like that it turned out to be incredibly boring.

 

I believe obs also has this ability.
