Time Lapse Experiment
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 to achieve the desired look and from there, exported the images as uncompressed TIFF images, scaled to a more manageable size. Finally, I exported the intermediate file as an insane bit-rate MP4 file and uploaded it to Vimeo. Read more

Minneapolis Clouds
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 a final video. Each method has its benefits and I’ve tried to summarize them below. Read more

Gold Medal Park Time Lapse
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 of footage represents 2 minutes 30 seconds.
