Wow this is a whole different league than what I am doing. Great job on the pan and zoo. And also the movement of your camera angle. I like that the sound seemed to be unbroken so probably recorded separately. Good job

Same league I think. We're a work in progress. There is a little learning curve, but I'm starting to understand it a little better.

Jim, you are giving Ben and myself something to shoot for! :)

This is really well done. At this stage, Ben and I are all about the settings, and trying to nail down what works best. Was this an in camera timelapse? And what was your interval between shots?

And, it's awesome to have you switch up from your real video's to do a timelapse. I hope you keep doing them.

Jim, I'm still trying to figure out settings also. Shutter speed and interval. I think it's just a matter of practice and experience. Fun to do, though I'm not too sure what to do with it. Hard to print them. Any way, Shutter speed here was 1/50s (close to double the fps) with an interval of 2 seconds. They say the slower the moving elements, the more the interval time and the faster the moving elements, the quicker the interval. I'm using my Edelkrone head to trigger the camera and their phone app to set the parameters. I shoot raw and save the files from the camera to a folder on a hard drive. Then I use Adobe DNG converter to convert the files to DNGs and import the file with the DNGs into DaVinci Resolve. From there, it's just like processing a video clip. DaVinci has deflicker which gets rid of and exposure flicker and a footage stabilizer to eliminate any camera shake.

This is lovely! I used to love doing timelapses about a decade ago and am looking forward to trying some new ones, with raw this time instead of jpg. That sounds like a good method - I have Resolve and it seems like a good video editor, though I haven't used it a lot.
