What did you do to capture the lapse? Firestore? Speed up tape? How long lapsed. Canthings like that be used for stock video? And last but not least.....awesome! :)

Shot in real time for an hour, sped up in post to 30 seconds or thereabouts. Shot to tape. Yes, I have sold stock footage using this method, absolutely nothing wrong with it. The only thing I specify in my NLE is to not apply frame blending when I speed it up.

Looks sweet.

Awesome . Hey Steven I hope you don't mind that I re-render alot of your vidoes to a m2t and slap them in my PS3 for viewing. Your clips are great for inspiration. Keep them coming.

Steven...I understand the "Shot in real time", but I'm confused by "Shot to tape". Also, which NLE was this done in? Great stuff.

Thanks guys, I said "shot to tape" because I could also be shooting to something like Firestore and bypassing tape altogether. I believe I was answering a direct question about tape.

I used Premiere Pro 2.0 but any NLE will allow you to speed up footage.

David Beisner · September 11th, 2008, 08:08 AM

Hey Steven, what was your shutter speed for that? And did you shoot in 24f or 60i?

Steven Dempsey · September 11th, 2008, 08:10 AM

Wow, it's been a while for this clip :)

I believe it was 1/48th. I shoot 24f and don't usually change the shutter speed for timelapses.

You rock Steven, thanks!

there is some CA, too big for me.
Where this CA so boost? Is It your custom preset (with too big color saturation) or some adapter? I like your short movies.
