That is incredible. The commitment of creating such a video for over a year is mindblowing. Great stuff
Yes, it was a long time, but seeing so many people apreciate my videos and the effort I put into them makes it worth it. Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Forgive me if Iâm wrong but isnât it just taking a picture of potatoes just laying there everyday in one place?
@@PhotoOwl Itâs been ages since I last saw the Spar logo on anythingâŠ. Do those stores really still exist? (Northern Germany hereâŠ)
@@ArDeeMee it's one of the most common stores here in Austria
@@r.r.3433 Mit vernĂŒnftiger Lagerung halten sich Kartoffeln locker 6 Monate und mehr. Mit Supermarktlagerung immer noch 1-2 Monate. Es ist absolut kein Problem an Kartoffeln zu kommen die vor fast einem Jahr geerntet wurden. Erntezeit ist ab August/September, je nach Sorte.
Itâs incredible to see how much energy there is in a potato, that it can grow and survive for a year without any water or dirt.
I must say I did not expect them to last this long.
It's inspiring for all of us couch potatoes. We're lowkey energetic.
@@claida339
@@PhotoOwl that's what she said
This is why the Irish were able to survive the âgreat famineâ in the 1840âs. The were not able to plant anything else but literally the potatoes saved their lives. Nearly half of all the population only ate potatoâs to survive.
There's no telling how many other things he has being recorded right now, sitting there rotting away, just so he can make a time-lapse of it 2 years from now. True commitment.
Lol. Commitment indeed.
Just thought of this but - imagine how many cameras are involved
It's not just space + commitment + forethought but also money, very cool lol
@@louisrialland2527 exactly, was just about to comment about the cameras
Can't wait for the human body rotting timelapse 5 years from now
@@Minceraft69 I'm pretty sure you can find those somewhere. Body farms exist after all - wouldn't be suprised, if some research lab streamed those even.
I can't be the only one to feel a bit sad for that potato right? It was alive for a while, held on for as long as possible but still succumbed to malnutrition in the end. Still, really awesome to see the whole process. Thank you for showing us this â€
Exactly how I feel! It was inspiring at first, seeing the life grow from nothing, but then to watch it wilt away? Not as inspiring...
Like God just throw some water on it please it's dyiiing
@@Vill19998 EXACTLY
the way they take one last breath just before they die đ
@@carpanojr I'm holding my own potato children as i type this. Poor babies đ
It looks like the potatoes take a deep last breath before death, I never knew I'd be feeling sad for a potato đ„ș
They are long dead at this point. Its gas released from bacteria đ€ą

I like how instead of melting into poison, potatoes start photosynthesis. They still melt, but it's cooler.
He reversed the process in the end so nothing gets wasted đ... incredible manđđ„
nothing except the potatoes...
This comment is so funny haha I wish someone would post it on every single video he makes....oh wait
My mum: âTheyâre fine just cut out the bad bitsâ
Day 7 đ€ąđ€źđ
đđ
So, cut off the entire potato?
I'm sure that room smelled absolutely lovely. Rotten potatoes are one of the ghastliest things I've ever smelled.
There was a _huge_ window of planting time there. It's wild how long those starches will provide energy to the sprouts.
That, and I just watched another video describing how most of a family was killed by entering an unventilated root cellar with rotting potatoes inside. â So, ghastly indeed.
Stay safe. â€
I learned this the hard way, it sucked to clean it. It was gross...
I was surprised they didn't leak nasty rotten potato juice everywhere! That's always been my experience with neglected potatoes.
they have the potential to kill with the gasses emitted so this had to be in a fume hood or vaccum sealed chamber
I mean they were kept in a dry but bright environment. So mostly they were trying to grow and use the energy and not decompose. Once all the energy was depleted they would've just turned into crisps. Rotten wet spuds though are gruesome.
No one:
me at 2:00 watching a time lapse of potatoes rotting: đ
Lmao
0:18 Alternate tilte: turning potatoes into KIWI
Amazing the way they swell up like that, like a last gasp. Incredible content đđŒ
Yes, that looked odd, but on the other hand it's completely logical. Probably some backteria released a lot of gasses and it made the potatoes swell up. Thanks đ
@based memerczcams.com/video/3zK5oBvZBDs/video.html
The gas they release is super toxic. I doubt a small group of potatoes like that could hurt you unless you like stuck a straw in and snorted it, though. But if you see a large group of inflated potatoes and you're indoors, GTFO because you might die.
@based memer Yes, it's true. But that gas was not released by bacteria. When you keep potatoes in a humid place exposed to sunlight and they become green, that gas is deadly.
In case of that family, they kept it in their basement where it was exposed to light. With time concentration of gas in basement increased and as the family members went there one by one, all of them died. However grandma left the door open before entering so when the girl went down, concentration wasn't sufficient to kill her.
@@mdazharuddin4684 whoa Iâve never heard of that, very intresting
It's so interesting to couple this channel with the slow-mo guys. You are shooting at 1 frame a day and they shoot at hundreds of frames per second. It reveals so much detail that we as humans can't perceive just by looking at average things and it's so brilliant! Thanks!
Thank you! Yes, we do the exact opposite and yet we show something that you can't perceive just by looking at

It's like a heart beating
That was so⊠strangely beautiful. I feel like Iâve just watched a heroes journey of a potato, but in the end it just died from the lack of nutrients that would make it fully grow. But it did try there for a long time. It put up a good fight. I also liked the composition between seeing the potatoes rot and change and grow, and the plastic tag staying completely intact. Itâs easy to forget how unnatural this world weâve constructed around nature is.
underrated comment
Absolutely beautiful and kind of sad. It's like they were breathing.
Well, thats because they were technically đ they are incredible things - imagine one year only eating up yourself and still surviving...
â@@Dodl1 This actually works for us as well when you are very fat. There is actually a well doumented case of a guy who went on a 0 calorie diet and lost 276 pounds over the course of 382 days. His name was Angus Barbieri.
Potatoes are really amazing, you can live solely off of them, they can survive this long without any resources, they make so many different products, and there is so many ways to prepare them. I felt kind of sad when they were fading away.
And you can even get tolerable yields in cardboard, veggie waste, and newspaper. Throw in a bag of half decent soil if you want to spoil them, and you can get food in your backyard.
â@@goingslowlynowhere There's nothing like a homegrown potato! They're so god damn easy, and store really really well. If you have a garden (or even if you don't) you should be growing potatoes.
you can live solely off of sweet potatoes not normal ones
@@donaldbestkorea2248 tell that to the Irish
@@IowaKim Right, potatoes have far more nutrients than most people realize.

I'm generally surprised how long potatos last before they almost break down.
It's always fun and enjoyable watching these videos as the amount of time and dedication put in shows.
Okay but the patience you put into these videos is incredible, appreciate the work! â€ïž
Surely they just leave a camera running in a room?
zhongli loves some potatoes
osmanthus wine tastes the same as i remember, but where are those who share the memory?
I couldn't be happier about this channel existing . The channel we didn't know we needed but deserved.
We need a âbehind the sceneâ video to see you manage all your Timelapses at the same time
Wow! That was amazing! Just makes me wonder how many you have going at any given time! Thank you so much for taking the time to put these together for everyone to enjoy!
Thank you! Right now I have 10 projects running simultaneously, and I'm starting an additional 3 tomorrow. All this with 18 cameras because some have multiple angles :)

Top tier content right here. High effort, simple, entertaining. You've got it down, my guy.
Much appreciated!
Funny number of likes
I really like the fact that I finally watch a Timelapse that stayed on a subject for over a year! **New subscriber **â€ïž
I think this is the best one yet. I watched it over at least 5 times. It makes me feel of life in general in a deeper way.
Huge props to the camera man for his commitment in willing to film this for over 1 year
yes at that resolution it must be many terabytes of video and rendering it must have taken months
@@l3p3 no i actually think the size is not really big because he does not film this as a regular timelapse. He probably takes one picture every hour and then combines it
Legend has it that camera is still filming to this very day.
@@xhec how do they say? r/woosh?
@@l3p3 stop being cringe, we're on youtube
Amazing how over a year of your work comes down to 3 minutes, you truly are committed to this amazing art
This is one of the most amazing things I've seen. Absolutely insane đ„
Appreciate the person who sat here and filmed it for 200 days
Those are just pictures taken at regular intervals and then put together into a video, it's not a whole recording sped up otherwise the file would be way too heavy
@@Sorute yeahâŠ.. iâm not a person who uses reddit so i wonât say this
@@Sorute no way
Thanks :) i really missed being away from my family for so long...
Omg so many vines coming out from them!
Thx, its indeed interesting to see how potatoes will change over time ;)
This is like an isolated space colony desperately trying to survive and reproduce with the limited resources they have
This is amazing, I never knew this is what potatos look like when they're sprouting
"We need potatoes"
"we have potatoes at home"
Potatoes at home: 2:28
Thank you for showing us something most people can't do on camera.
That is some serious dedication. Fascinating. I subbed. Thank you!
Omg so much commitment,I wouldn't be able. Awesome video
10,800 hours in just 2:27 minutes...AMAZING!
Your dedication to these is astonishing!đ
Thank you
I can watch this timelapse going back and forth again and again. It is astonishing to see the amount of energy potato starch provided to the growing buds and the unusual swelling in a rotten potato.
Why doesn't this video have more views? It's one of your best! đ„đ±đđ»
It's almost moving how persistent the potatoes were to survive or at least have their children survive
seeing the sprouts grow out of them was beautiful!
Crazy level of commitment bro keep up the good work đ
Thank you for this beautiful job. It is really amazing and the quality is superb
Respect man, one year is insane
Thanks :)
Isn't it beautiful how nature has always a backup plan ? If the potato doesn't get eaten it makes other potatoes, if it can't produce any other potatoes it becomes dirt and gives other plants energy. I think we can also put this in our daily life if one thing doesn't work there are always other possibilities that are also beautiful and useful đ
They don't want to be eaten dumbass but true
My respect for you after this đ
Love your videos, keep it up
Whyd the graph go down
Wow, that was unexpectedly quite beautiful!
this is what happened to my potatoes except i planted them in dirt when they looked like 0:23 and the shoots kept growing and now they're almost as tall as my window
Ăsterreichische Kartoffeln đ

I just got the notification and clicked it right away! It feels so good to be early! Your videos are amazing đ
Yay! Thank you! And double thank you for being here early :)
@@PhotoOwl THANKS FOR HEART! :D
I feel better about myself knowing I've never let potatoes go so long as to not be flowering.
Beautiful how that happens. Thank you for this.
450 days and they still didn't ask for a like or to subscribe, just real commitment and dedication đ
I try to bother my dear viewers with the typical "Sub to the channel" crap as little as possible. Sometimes I put a small reminder, because people can forget to sub even if they wanted to, but that's all :)
Thanks for the kind words
Why did they reinflate at 1:14...?
Imagine if they were growing near the ground and water, wow they are such a good plant đ
Thanks for this huge effort!
Commenting for the Algorithm. More People Need to See this, And This Channel Deserves More Subscribers
Pre-video comment: I'm expecting to see them grow
0:43 In the video: Yeah, I was right
I'm looking forward to that post-video comment too
@@PhotoOwl 1 year later: Finally they died. Lol
Neat, the way they grow reminds me of fractals.
indeed it looks very trippy sped up
if you liked that, try Romanesco....canÂŽt have more fractal in a plant than that
THE EDITING IS SO WONDERFUL!!!!
I love how near the end spiders build webs, and you can actually see them running around the web because there are probably a ton of flies and whatnot from the potato
Huge respect for you
Thank you!
This makes me think about how amazing life really is.
What a great video, you have earned a subscription đđŒđđŒđđŒ

Top ten CZcamsrs who put to much effort B) coming in at number oonneee
OMG thank you! :)
What temperature do you keep the room at for these videos?
It's just normal room temperature, at about 22 °C (72°F)
Did it smell? I am queries
@@snowfox8025 rotting/green potatoes emit solanin gas which is super deadly, that's why you should never keep potatoes longer than a week. The exact reason why he didn't shoot himself touching or even getting close to that potatoe mess after it's gone bad.
Just think about that! Waiting 450+ days only for a video! This deserves more!
Appreciate your work! Wow! đ
How'd you manage to contain this for a whole year?!
Totally same thought as mine
Maybe he just put this in a room and put the pro camera to record it . While in the meantime , he also do other experiment too .
You say potato, I say potata
well, potato potata
This is what usually happens to my potatoes (and onions, and whatnot). :D I admire your dedication to your videos. +1
You're the only channel I knew that do timeline for years
I'm curious about why the potatoes 'inflate' itself after going soft and then go back to being deflated. Can someone explain that to me? Is it because of the gas created by the microorganisms consuming the content of the potatoes?
Someone Help
i'm not 100% sure, but at the end of the video when he opens one of the potatoes it looks like there's a small mass of what used to be the potato inside the much larger skin. my guess is that while decomposing the inside bit started to emit some gas, inflating the skin until it popped and deflated
I think the growth on the skin of the potatoes mightâve torn the skin open, letting air get in and inflate it until the weight forced the air out. Or some gasses were emitted by the growth. I dunno, Iâm just an idiot on the internet lmao
Mr Photo Owl Timelapse crept in between the shots, put his mouth to the potato and blew it up.
@@gabtug So thatâs what happened! Thanks for the clear up. :>
I'm curious as to how you're able to keep these projects going on for so long. I asusme you have multiple time lapse projects happeneing at the same time. Do you film each project for a set amount of time during the day? With having multiple projects ongoing at the same time, where do you find the space to designate to each individual one?
I have a separate studio just for these time lapses. My cameras capture photos at a certain interval all the time. The interval depends on how fast the actual thing decomposes. here I used a 20 mins interval, but most often I use 5 or 10 minutes.
@Precious Omotosho yes, exactly
@@PhotoOwl dangg that's another level of dedication... does the smell fill the room? I have so many questions...
and I just realized that you can determine which foods have a good shelf life from these videos đ€
@@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006 I mean just cause something looks good, doesn't mean it has good shelf life. Those potatoes went bad very early on. Any green tint means that potatoes are spoiled for consumption and are not only very toxic, but can be properly dangerous to just be next to as gas from rotting potatoes in closed room is deadly.
@@mjm3091 yeah you right, still it's the zucchini time lapse that's convinced me- when it comes to fruits at least.
But I doubt I'll ever see a time lapse for grains, legumes, or honey because those have the longest shelf life out of all.
Thank u for this. It was cool.
The dedication got a subscription đđ»
I'll say this much: Don't EVER let a potato get lost in the pantry for a few months. Gnats find their way in and...the smell....holy cracker jacks, the smell đ„Ž I stripped down my pantry, completely scrubbed and sanitized it, mopped the floor where it was found with bleach a million times and it took nearly 5 years of continuous airing out and mopping before I could no longer detect that awful smell đą
I can SMELL this video
I confirm, the smell of rotten potato is the worst smell I have ever smelled, without a doubt. I think someone could die from being exposed to that stench for too long.
you used the wrong stuff...try piranha solution next time :p but be careful...that stuff IS scary.
@@ignaciot They actually can, I saw a video where a family was killed from the gasses emitted by rotten potatoes in their cellar
oooh are you from austria or are only the potatoes
I live in Austria but I'm Hungarian. And yes the potatoes are from Austria :)
@@PhotoOwl Ooh okay, I was confused first. I also noticed, that they were from Spar, but in you channel info is united states xD
this is insane. great work. dedication
This has to be one of the most beautiful time lapses yet
Wow, a year+ for a mere 3+ min video... Hats off to you... I really wanted to witness whether each n every đ„ gasped (gas) for it's last breath.... It was fun and informative....
I would love to know how many projects you have going at once⊠are they all filmed nonstop? I canât imagine all the terabytes of footage you must haveâŠ
Right now I have 10 projects, and I'm starting 3 more tomorrow. All these with 18 cameras (as some have multiple angles)
Yes, it takes a LOT of space
@@PhotoOwl what does your filming room smells like xD
@@sofiamae2111 we don't talk about that here.
@@PhotoOwl can we get a behind the scenes video?
Really awesome!!!! Keep it up man!
Absolutely brilliant đ
great video, one year of a blocked camera :) What cams do you normally use for your timelapses? And how many do you have?
I actually got sad watching it. As it wanted to live so bad. It ate itself trying to create more of itself in hopes of surviving. Do another but add water this time. I want to watch it grow
I love your work! I love this video as well. As David Attenborough described, Timelapses give us a glimse as to how alive the world really is when we shift the time to the plant's point of view. Our POV is much much faster, and everything in this universe moves at it's own pace, and sometimes we can't notice them being so alive, but, timelapses allows us to see how alive the world really is as it gives us a glimse of a world that we ourselves cannot see with a naked eye without some cool-nerdy tricks!
I think I saw a spider near the front potatoes taking up residence around the 2:15 mark, how neat!
Anyone else wondering why the potato carcasses puffed up at some points?
nope
due to gases caused by bacteria
Yeah i was wondering about that, kinda looked like they were breathing.
The fact that the potatoes became bad after a couple of minutes is incredible.
They were exposed to light from the start that makes them go bad very fast
If I ever built a time machine I'd definitely invite this guy over so he can make countless stellar videos. đ
Awesome video as always
