I was helping film a short comedy (a Top Gun spoof) this weekend and set up a time lapse while the filming was going on. We were shooting on a 5D Mark II as the primary camera, and I had my T2i there for some scenes that required 60fps.

While putting the time lapse together I started looking at the footage shot on my SD cards from the T2i and couldn't help myself, so I cut a full trailer for it - time lapse included.

(The trailer itself is a parody of all the overwrought, big budget "IN A WORLD," grandiose previews all over the place)

We filmed with a Canon 50mm f/1.8 and 24-104mm f/4 for the live action, and I shot the time lapse on a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. All thoughts, suggestions or questions on technique appreciated and welcome!
