Join me this Thursday in a webinar with onOne Software as I walk through the steps of planning, shooting and editing still images to create timelapse movies. I’ll go through the steps I use in Lightroom, how to sequence the images together with several different types of software and also a few ways to stylize your videos with Perfect Effects and Focal Point software.
I’m really excited about this webinar and hope that you’ll join me! There’s more info over at the onOne Software website, and you can register for the webinar on the link at the top of this post. Hope to see you there!
Here’s a link to the recorded webinar over on YouTube.
Just a few months ago, in November 2011, I took a three-week trip to Vietnam, and this is a quick video of some of the beautiful sights I experienced. I’m still going through and editing my images and will put a more detailed post of my travels, but for now take a look at the video to watch one of my favorite hobbies-within-photography: timelapse photography.
I just love getting excited about something, even if it is just for fun … it always seems to fuel my passion for other things I do, like writing and photographing food. I also plan on really exploring timelapse photography in-depth over the next year, so if it’s something you’re curious about watch my blog … I’ll have some great tutorials, webinars and resources for everyone.
Last week I took a photography trip to Moab with my friend Dave (seen throughout this video … he’s the guy with the mohawk). My main goal (other than to have a relaxing time away from “the office”) was to get enough video and timelapse to put together a fancy video of my trip. I ended up with a ton of car-mounted footage with my new GoPro, along with some timelapse videos and a few nighttime star photographs. We had an awesome time, got lots of great photos/video, and I think that from now on whenever Dave hears John Mayer he’ll think of Moab (I had control of the music, hehe).
I’ve done my share of timelapse photography, but wanted to kick it up a notch and asked my friend Harley (our local MacGyver) if he knew of a way to create a “Timelapse Turntable” rig so that the timelapse footage would move as it was doing the intervals. He worked his magic, created something (that looked akin to a bomb) and showed me how it worked … and I got to test it out in Moab. The results are awesome!
Here’s the gear used to create the above video:
For more information on the timelapse turntable, take a look at Harley’s blog to see how it works and how he put it all together:
