There is also a<br /> busy main road in front of the building so during the night scenes<br /> the car lights would look good if they become lines.</p> <p>The problem is I have only one chance to shoot this, and because of the remote location, I cant check out light levels ahead of time.</p> <p>Add to this, Iv never done this before.</p> <p> </p> <p>The target product is a 5 second piece at 30 fps.  If necessary this could be extended to 10 seconds max.</p> <p>I will be shooting with either a Canon 1DMkIIN or a Canon 5dMkII</p> <p>HELP !!!</p> <p>Im looking for suggestions on all aspects ;<br />1) Exposure - as changing light Im guessing I will need to use either Aperture or Shutter Priority<br />2) White Balance - again, as changing im guessing this will be automatic<br />3) Interval</p> <p>Any guidance you can give, gratefully received.</p> <p>Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-first-video-here#post-70047 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:05:44 +0000 Robert Rozbora 70047@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, this is my first video compilation, shared here (also my first post). Looking for any constructive criticism. Videos shot on Canon 5d Mk II and GoPro HD Hero. I know, there is lot of things to do with postproduction and editing (this is just simple cuts), but my concern is atm more on videos itself. Also I'm planning to get dolly soon, so now its just static videos, I hope I'll improve that soon. Thanks for wiewing and especially commenting :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fYRy3li6qUE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/embed/fYRy3li6qUE</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/night-rush-around-the-world-2#post-68770 Fri, 17 Jun 2011 02:27:25 +0000 Florin Sev 68770@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My Latest Time Lapse Showreel</p> <p>Night Rush Around The World 2</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/25213730" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/25213730</a></p> <p>or</p> <p><a href="http://youtu.be/cIspmreR-Jw?hd=1" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/cIspmreR-Jw?hd=1</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/time-lapse-video-with-a-still-camera#post-63962 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:40:41 +0000 composite1 63962@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've shot timelapse video with a video camera on a few occasions and got some really cool stuff. Lately, I've been experimenting with TLV using a Digital Still Camera. Here's a vid by Zach Wise on how to shoot time lapse video with a still camera.</p> <p>*Note: From my own experiments, I'd like to add these additions to Zach's information.</p> <p>1. If you have After Effects or another advanced software, you can easily import your photo sequences in as 'JPEG' sequences. Same rules apply concerning the correct numbering as importing with QT Pro.</p> <p>2. 'Drag Your Shutter' means use a slower shutter speed than the camera would use automatically. A slower shutter speed will allow your subjects to appear to 'smear' (i.e. 'drag) themselves through your image vs 'Blipping'.</p> <p>3. When going from Day to Night you'll have to use Auto White Balance particularly if there is man-made lighting present in the scene. When shooting Day or Night only you can get away with Manual White Balance long as lighting conditions don't change too dramatically.</p> <p>4. You do not have to spend a bunch of money on a Timer Remote/Intervalometer! The one's made by your camera's manufacturer get pretty expensive and they do the exact same thing as much cheaper off-brand one's do with less features (like say an 'on-off switch'?)</p> <p>5. Lastly, be prepared to either stay with your camera for at least an hour or more while it does it's thing. That or hide it really, really well! Time Lapse shooting is a long-haul endeavor.</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/17366599">Time-Lapse Tutorial</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/zachwise">Zach Wise</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/time-lapse-video-panning-techniques#post-61374 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:13:54 +0000 nscherneck 61374@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello all,</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm getting back into producing independent movies after a few years out of the game.  I'll soon be purchasing an HDR-FX1000.  I am planning a project which will include quite a bit of time lapse.  I'm interested in how this film maker used panning techniques..</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xMz2SnSWS4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xMz2SnSWS4</a></p> <p>Any tips?</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Nathan</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-camcorder-cant-do-time-lapse-recording#post-63490 Sat, 13 Nov 2010 21:25:42 +0000 Rohlux 63490@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am keen to do timelapse/interval recording but my Sony HDR-XR500 does not have the functionality.  I have heard of a gadget called an intervalometer but it seems to be made for DSLR cameras only. Is there a workaround ?

I dont believe this is the same thing as time lapse, but it would have the same effect.  I basically want to save what it looks like while I am fast forwarding.  The video was shot on a Panasonic SD camcorder and is about a 40 GB file.</p> <p>Does anyone know how to do this?  What software would I need?  is it possible? Thanks alot for the advice.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/doing-time-lapse-on-dcr-vx2100#post-35280 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:46:23 +0000 brandon0409 35280@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I was speaking with a friend in of mine in the business, and he mentioned that he does time lapse with his Cannon GL2.  He said he is able to set it: For example:</p> <p>10 Seconds every 1 minutes<br /> or<br /> 5 Seconds every 5 minutes<br /> or<br /> Basically what ever the interval is that he wishes.</p> <p>Is this possible on the VX2100?  I've looked thru the manual but I haven't seen any specific reference to this function.  Any help would be appreciated.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/time-lapse#post-34369 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 12:40:44 +0000 ErikBlixt 34369@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Hitachi DZ-HS300A, the "hybrid" one, and I am having trouble making a time-lapse video.
