The longer your exposure, and the longer gap between exposures, the more jerky the movie will seem.
But, your exposure length has to be long enough to get the light you want.
If you have a 5D Mark II with a fast lens like f/2.8, then you can get away with 8 or 10 or max 15 s exposures at ISO800 or 1600.
But if you're like me, and have something not quite as good, then you'll need to do 30s exposures @ ISO1600 to get enough light.
And then just start the next exposure straight away. Don't have any gap between.
Here's my (now old) effort using those settings:

The daytime shots were obviously much shorter exposures.
