Time lapse allows for a form of video story telling that captivates the viewer in a very unique way. For this
particular project, I set out downtown to capture imagery for an in-house interactive display presentation. We
feel time-lapse video can be utilized as a marketing device and used this video as a testing ground for the
succeeding camera settings and techniques.
If the goal of video is to communicate a complete story of who a client is and what they represent, then time
lapse might be best utilized in communicating how it "feels" to spend time within that client's store,
dealership, restaurant, etc.
We'll expand on this in posts to come. For now, I've listed the locations and camera settings of each scene in
the aforementioned video. Tweet any specific questions to @josepholesh.
2. A few tips for any aspiring time-lapser:
• Gather at least 200 images per set up. You never really know what you have until you sit down in
post-production. Capture all the imagery you can to allow for the greatest amount of freedom in the
edit.
• Cover locations as you would on a film shoot. Capturing different angles of the same object will make
for a much more dynamic edit.
• Fire off a still, with a 30-second shutter, to preview where the motion will be occurring within your
composition. Adjust to accentuate the greatest amount of drama.
• BE PATIENT!! Time lapse is not for the anxious. Trust your composition, your camera settings, and
commit to each location.
