I’ve spent the last day working on a new time lapse and so I thought I would do a quick write-up of my workflow. I’m always looking to improve my technique and so hopefully someone else will find this helpful and/or share some tips with me. To begin, I shot this as a series of [...]

This is a video I shot over the course of three hours one cold evening.  This time lapse was filmed as a 1080p HD video and speed up in After Effects.  The source footage for most of the clips was 5 minutes long and sped up to 2,000% yielding a 15 second clip.  For short [...]

This is a time lapse experiment that I have been tinkering with for the last month.  I wanted to try a new work flow based around raw images instead of JPEG images.  Every frame was captured as a raw image and imported in to an Aperture 3 library.  From there, I batch processed the images [...]

I’ve been experimenting with ways to take the best time lapse using the Canon 5d Mark II and I’ve come up with two distinct methods that are worth sharing.  The first method involves shooting normal video and speeding it up while the second involves a more traditional approach of shooting frames and combining them to [...]

This is a video I made while out taking photos this evening.  The original duration was about 14 minutes and was sped up by 3,000% to a final duration of just under 30 seconds.  It was filmed with my canon 5D Mark II and Sigma 1.4 50mm and post processing was done in Adobe Premiere [...]

This video was shot between 10:30PM and 1:30AM starting on 3/3/2010 from the Minneapolis Grain Exchanging looking east. Shots were taken at 10 second intervals and the final playback speed is 30fps.  A Sigma 50mm 1:1.4 was used at about f/2.8 allowing for 1/40th second exposures.  The frames were rendered in to a high quality [...]

I love taking photographs at night in the winter. I don’t the the process as much as the results. The cold dry air yields incredibly sharp results and when it is really cold out, the water vapor form building leaves a thick lingering streak in the sky. The video below was filmed on January 3rd [...]

Last night I created a time lapse of Gold Medal Park between about 9PM and 11PM.  I used a Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon EOS Utilities software to control the interval exposures.  In the clips below, exposures were set at 5 second intervals and the final frame rate was 30FPS.   So, 1 second [...]

This is a video I produced on 10/31/2009.  It was a dreary fall afternoon and I wanted to capture the blah-feeling of the day.  Watch it here or head on over to Vimeo to add it to a group, comment, etc.. Most of the clips that are in this video will be available for purchase [...]
