Did you really take 28800 individual pictures by hand?

Try this:
find . -name \*.tga | xargs -n1 cat | ppmtoy4m

or

find . -name \*.tga -exec cat {} \; | ppmtoy4m

If find is not finding the files in the correct order, you may want
to do something like:

find .-name \*.tga | sort | xargs -n1 cat | ppmtoy4m

If you used a digital camera, didn't it produce jpeg files?  You'd get the
best quality be going from jpeg to y4m directly, without the ppm step. 
Converting from jpeg to ppm involves a colorspace conversion (YUV->RGB) as
well as chroma re-sampling (4:2:0 -> 4:4:4).  Going from ppm to y4m involves
converting back to YUV and 4:2:0.  The files would probably be a lot smaller
too!
