Nicosia — A timelapse

Показать описание

From what I know, this is the first "complete" timelapse of Nicosia. This video is a collection of about half the shots I wanted. I couldn't cover all the desired locations and produce more shots. After 2 months of shooting, I decided to go with it and finish it. I might create a second one in the future.

I wanted to show a not-so-known face of Nicosia, somehow avoiding popular tourist landmarks. Even people who live in Nicosia will have a hard time identifying the locations of all the shots in the video (which imo is a good thing).

I tried to make the video as short as possible. Instead of going the usual route with a classical/chill out music and slow cuts, I decided to experiment with a fast paced edit following a fast-tempo music track.

I also need to get myself a slider! One shot, the one on the rooftop 2:20, took me 2 hours to finish. And it's not perfect, moving from side to side at some points.

Shot on a Canon 5D MK2 with a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, graduated NDs 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and a Hoya 77mm Circular Polariser HD. Post-processed in Lightroom 4.

You're my only form of advertisement. Please help me and share this video if you liked it!
I even included a cat to make the video more likeable! :p
Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

amazing video, excellent job!another very interesting timelapse video would be the use of pictures from Nicosia a few decades and gradually transforming into today... That would be an interesting project:) Nevertheless, once again excellent job, well done!

I thought of breaking it up a bit. I kinda get bored by videos that only have timelapses (especially 4min long). Thanks.

I see you haven't done Limassol yet, saving the best for last? ;)

try doing one with the places you think they worth in Nicosia.
I'm pretty sure this is the best time lapse of Nicosia and I've been searching to find a similar one for other places in different countries but I didn't and I was so disappointed. I guess this type of time lapse is more appealing nowadays and the music fits totally with the style, doesn't mean it's a good song.

Congratulations! Beautiful colors, perfect image speed...great job!
How did you make the part at 2:22 (and 3:40)?? I would try to make a real panning timelapse, like that... It's amazing!!
