Remember, a video file really is just a bunch of sequential images, strung together. A question a lot of folks ask when they first come to Time-lapse video, or your clients may be wondering is, if you’re making video, why aren’t you using a video camera? Well, the thing is, is that when it comes to Time-lapse, you want to take advantage of the benefits of shooting stills. You need to make sure that the camera provides a constant point of reference with minimal movement and no unnecessary vibrations or adjustments.
You in fact want to see those changes in the light, so you need to shoot manual, and make sure that it’s properly exposed as close as possible in the camera.īesides that, you also need to get a shot that’s absolutely stable. If you’ve got a camera in automatic mode, the exposure’s going to vary as the camera tries to compensate for changes in the light. So you’re going to need to learn to shoot manual.
More importantly though, you need that exposure to not change over time. This’ll give you a proper exposure in camera. Revisit the Exposure Triangle, so you balance out the aperture, the ISO, and the shutter speed. When it comes to time-lapse, the primary objective is to get a great exposure in the camera. Often used to see objects that are often too slow to see at real speed.But the end product can be both beautiful and elegant–as it condenses time.You’ll have to assemble the clips together and further process them to make a final movie.You can also capture using other features of your camera like larger image size and even use raw images.By capturing images in a sequence, you can choose to record a scene at a much slower frame rate than with video.The good news is, is that time lapse is easier than ever before, thanks to advances in software and camera technology.
Essentially, hundreds, if not thousands of stills that get assembled into a finished movie. In order to do this, there’s lots of things to put together. It’s just magical how you can see the passage of time. One of the things I love about time-lapse video is how compelling the end product is. It’s essentially clicking a shutter and making a single image, over and over again…potentially thousands of times sequentially. Time-lapse photography is the closest thing to how you shoot as a still photographer.
