</gallery>After filming I exported it to my laptop and made a video out of the footage. By the way, instead of 48 photos, there were somehow 96 on the memory card—and on the video itself, constant flashes were visible. I saw in the camera setting "Anti-flickering mode", so maybe I need to enable it next time. | </gallery>After filming I exported it to my laptop and made a video out of the footage.

Since I already understood what my workflow is like, now I could create more precise plan. I wanted to film around 11 hours of timelapse (660 frames), so I'll stay in the BioLab almost the whole day. When I arrived at 6am I wanted to check two Petri dishes from my first experiment and then decide if I'll continue with them or create new ones. | Since I already understood what my workflow is like, now I could create more precise plan.

In Petri dishes I noticed that slime mold changed color only in two spots: with blue and green colors, but blue one was the most visible. I assume, that place with red drop was hard ro reach for the slime mold (drops were on top of oat flakes), and place with the yellow one... I don't even know actually if it's natural color of the culture or not. But the first experiment was exactly for proving some of my concerns and to understanf what to do next. | |||
//// | I decided to prepare everything once again, because this material won't give me result that I want in the end. Also, my plan with using strong culture failed —there were mold inside. That's why I'll use slime mold from the first experiment.<gallery> | ||

I repeated all the steps from the first experiment. The only thing that was different is a way of coloring. This time, instead of yellow, I'll mix orange color (hopefully it will be more visible in the end), and I won't add drops of dye on top of the oat flakes: instead, I'll dye them completely. That way, the slime mold for sure will cover the dye.<gallery> | |||
