My friend Taner and I will be having a play over Christmas and the New Year with some Time Lapse photography. We’ve both done time-lapse before with a static camera on a tripod but we wanted to include some camera movement to add another dimension and give added interest to the final short film. Taner has adapted his slider to incorporate a motor and geared belt drive which is manually controlled to speed-up or slow-down the camera as it tracks along the glide track.
We have set aside a whole day to eat cake and test out the new rig and see what results we get. We both have ‘old’ spare cameras that we will be using as time-lapse does put heavy wear and tear on the shutter mechanism and you don’t need a massive mega pixel camera as the product is usually destined for a website.
We plan to run two cameras and two laptops to make best use of the time, this will allow one set up to record whilst the other laptop is rendering and organising the clips from the previously recorded time-lapse session. I’ll post in a couple of days on how we got on.
