I came back to this video again after about a year since watching it the first time. That intro is solid gold. Beautifully written and executed.

Thank you for talking about how taking video and speeding it up is a way to do time lapse. I have been watching videos of how other people do it. Nobody calls sped up video a time lapse it was confusing as hell to me. That is what i think of when i think of a timelapse. Subbed because this is a dope video.

Got my first timelapse job coming up (nothing major) but I use sony a7siii bodies so this really helped me out! Going with the basic S&Q way as nothing amazing is needed. Earned a sub thank you!

With Sony cameras you can get 4K and motion blur by combining method 1 and 2. Just film normally and drop your shutter speed down to 1/4th second you'll be able to then speed that footage up by 600% and still get a 1:1 frame readout with motion blur so it's nice and smooth. Downside is that like method 1, you get big file sizes and you need to process that speed change in post.

I know I am like 6 month late but this video could not have popped up on my feed at a better time, trying to figure out more efficient ways to timelapse for my videos, you are always there for me with just the right tips lol ^^

I love the intervalometer, it’s so nice to finally have a camera that can do it internally. Nice not to have to bring a shutter release, and then once you get set you realize your battery is dead and you can, in fact, NOT get your shot 😭

[MarkHoltze]

4:27 love seeing that setup mate. I've been wanting to know how you set this up since you first mentioned how long it took you to do!

[themediaguysng]

Thanks for taking time out to explain concisely the 3 method for time-lapse. Quite educative and informative.

TARDIS! You have a TARDIS in your video. This already makes it the best video I've seen this week. Also, Time-lapses are a staple in almost all of my vlogs. Mostly because I start a vlog, and then like 6 hours later, I'm like "crap I haven't filmed anything in like 6 hours. TIME-LAPSE!"

[xuanfeng]

Really helpful stuff Dunna!!! hehe👌🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

[ImTheBoss]

woah seeing the bridge move in the intro scene was actually dope, never seen that before.

[Creativeinc]

Timelapses will forever be one of my favourite shooting styles. Recently been experimenting a little bit with the iphone timelapse feature and walking to try and create a very simple hyperlapse setup!

[klintk]

Great video Dunna! I’ve never been able to put my finger on why some of the videos looked off. The motion blur!!!! Great tips and explainations, as always

[des]

Love the intro! And the rest is pretty awesome too! :-) One of you best videos, if not the best! Good job!

[Canadiansasquatchbrewery]

Great stuff man! I just finished watching all of your videos, yes, from that very first one to this one. It was a lot of fun watching you progress through out. Thank you for sharing this journey and inspiring us who are just sort of starting out (or starting out again.) Cheers!

[MrEddieNunez]

Another great video bro. I love the look of time-lapse. But I dont have the patience for it. LOL.

Hello, I bought a hero 8 & put a time laps of 5mn between pictures to capture my flowering tree of life over the next 3 months ... Would you say that is good for a 5mn vidéo?

How do i set up the a6500 to take photo timelapse with variable auto iso? A6500 does not have a built in intervol. I have the free app but when it kicks in the camera locks on the first photo settings no matter what the camera settings are. will the external intervol still allow the camera to auto expose?

[namaxamedia]

hello. panansonic lumix, camera makes the video out of your shots - pictures. so after shoot you can watch the video. and still have the raw to make it agin in the computer if you like or need...
