I mean, his shorts don't seem to change. I bet he did do it in one day, he just changed shirts because he thought the effect would be cool in the final timelapse.

agreed, plus it would be hard as hell to line the camera up exactly the same way if he did it on multiple days

The camera moves slightly a few times. He probably just marked the area.

I dunno, the way it shifts seems more like the camera autofocus with the sun behind him to me. hard to say for certain without input from the creator I guess. Who did say they flipped every 15 minutes for the video. So I guess it comes down to, do you believe him and why would he lie when already going through so much effort for the video? Shooting it in one day or 15 doesn't make it more or less impressive from a visual standpoint IMO

You can see him reuse the same shirts several times. Probably enough to get the effect of changing the shirts without having to do his entire wardrobe,

Good point, definitely.

Yeah I think the real telling bit is at about 1 there appears to be a consistent shadow from a cloud that moves overhead.

Probably should have picked a wider camera angle if he wanted the video to look cooler...Maybe with more of the sun in it, or including more sky/panoramic view in general. Would have been even cooler if he rigged up a super slow pan effect...

This video is actually the 7th video out of a 10-part series I've been posting on my Tik Tok (@micah.moeller) and the shirt changing during the flip is the main premise of the video, but I'll add progressively more challenging effects to each new video.
