About a month ago I posted a few time lapse videos here is another to share with you all. The other videos did not have people moving about in them but this time the location left little choice. After viewing it a few times though it would not be the same without the people and makes for a very active scene.

Great video Steve! My first time visiting your blog, do you mind if I ask you what your camera setting were? I see you used final cut pro for video editing.

My Camera was set to Aperture Priority F22 Manual Focus set to 3-Feet using a Sigma 15-30mm lens which was connected to a syrp genie which pans and controls the camera shutter time. Really cool device a friend has loaned to me.

How many exposures did it take to create that short video?

Hi Bob,
It is made up of 390 Photos shot at 3-Second Intervals, then about 3-hours for the computer to batch process for lighting and color correction adjustments and about 5-minutes to edit and render in Final Cut Pro X.

Wow! That’s a lot.

Yes it is, but it’s half the images of some other sequences I have shot.

Impressive, Steve! I also checked Syrp Genie, that looks to be really versatile gear – but comes with a price as well.

Thanks!
Yes the syrp genie is quite expensive but still a cheaper alternative to a Kessler Crane those start at about $1,500.00 OUCH!

Nice TL Steve, I’ve just gotten into time-lapses and am searching for a slider, what kind do you use? I see the genie, have you ever tried a hand crank? Thanks!

Thank you!
No have not tried hand crank unit I have been lucky to access to the Syrp Genie. I have been trying the Hyper time lapse technique of moving the tripod a few inches at a time which so far has been challenging.
Thanks for stopping by!
