Timelapse 7D

Go to last post
That looks like it was a lot of fun to make. Most enjoyable!

BTW. You need to correct the video description year as 2011 instead of 2010.
 
its a little trippy with the way you do it. Ive never seen movement that much. And the music kinda freaked me out i thought something was wrong with my speakers. lol
 
I enjoyed watching it.

Not Signed- no signature I mean.
 
I didn't care for the sky shots in the beginning but at about 45 seconds in the traffic and music really started to click. I think this would be more effective if you edited it down to just parts of the traffic sequence. Very creative IMO.

Bob- Thanks! I totally agree.

This is really just a "daily." This is part of a larger project, this was one outing. I just dumped all of the images into one sequence and dropped in the music.

In the end the smooth will accompany the smooth and the staccato cuts will be techno fast and strobe-like, it won't be interlaced this way, this is just how it was shot.
Thanks for the crit man. Its hard to come by sometimes.
 
nice timelapse, what is the time gap between the shots?

love to shoot both airguns and pictures
 
Technically I think you did great, I also like the music.
Now the subject is a bit mundane though.

How long it took you to shoot this ?
You did it with just one battery ?
 
I do some time-lapse stuff on my 60D.

You have a good start but make sure to take these into account...
  • Once you have the aperture and exposure you want for the shot, press the DOF preview button to make the iris close down to where it will be for the exposure. With the button held, release the lens and twist it towards off a little bit. If done just enough, the lens will hold the iris in the same position for every shot, yet still recognize the lens on the body. This will help reduce exposure flickering from frame to frame if you have not done it already.
  • Use Virtual Dub deflicker program and plugin to help more. Some flicker showing in those shots.
  • Keep the intervals as close together as possible. Having too much time between intervals can make video too jumpy and not as smooth. Also make sure to not get the intervals so short that the camera isn't ready when the timer fires off the next shot. If the camera isn't ready. which can take a fraction of a second after a shot, it will not fire on all intervals and makes for jumps in the video.
  • Also, time lapse eats shutter counts like crazy. Only do TL on the coolest subjects you can find.
 
Thanks for the good advice. I ahve to admit, I'm a little paranoid about my shutter count now, I've turned it over at least 5-7 times.

Any idea how much Canon charges for the replacement?
 
I don't know for certain but I have heard it is around $200-400. I'm doing a lot of time lapse myself. Some of the results are spectacular and others are so-so. A lot of this is a learning process.

Are you a member of timescapes.org?

Your work will get many times better with the help of those guys. They are on the butting edge of TL.
 
I havent joined up, but I have read a lot of the forum stuff. I definitley need to spend more time there. I think i can handle $200-$400 for a new shutter. Now to save for a slider.
