Time lapse photography

[Halcyon Yachts]

Hi Everyone,

I have recently returned from a delivery from Holland to Cornwall. I was inspired by one of Dylans' films and decided to record over three hours of the passage from Sneek, through the IJsselmeer towards Amsterdam. The footage is condensed into just a few minutes... Have a look and see what you think!

If anyone else has any good time lapsed filming or photography to share then I'd love to see it!

[SimbaDog]

Very good

 

[flaming]

You've given me an idea...

 

[Flying Penguin]

Good stuff

 

[ColdFusion]

Excellent!

27 seconds in - I thought that yacht was going to try to get under the bridge for a moment

 

[Twister_Ken]

Careful, that speeded-up business doesn't half make the steering corrections look dramatic!

I was waiting for a handbrake turn and rubber smoke.

I liked the barge that did a burn out then shot off. What was his 0-60 time?

I like the alien invasion at 2:30...




Nice work HYachts.

Great! I've made 'time lapse' videos by recording normally, then using VirtualDub to 'decimate' the frame rate by 25 and increase the playback rate 25-fold. What I want to do is to record at 1 or less fps, but my recorders can't do it. Did you record at a low frame rate or did you do something like I did?

Shades of London to Brighton in 3 mins! And I also liked the yellow insect sitting on the lens about halfway thro. Excellent.

 

[Allan]

Very good. A great way to fit more in to short film. Is the guy on the bow rope really as camp as it makes him look?

My housemate recorded a timelapse of us putting the masts up on KS this year. Perhaps fortunately, the batteries ran out before we realised we'd forgotten the burgee halyard and had to take the mainmast down again

The sound track is hilarious, like war between the smurfs and the ogres.

 

[mlines]

At last, yachts doing a decent speed!

 

[AntarcticPilot]

I don't know about anyone else, but I felt motion sick after watching it! Seriously.

I have been asked a few questions by private message about the music... It is by Humphrey Milles - another track can be heard here:

I am currently trying to get to grips with premier pro, but for now am still using windows live movie maker.

Here is a non sailing time lapse film that I think is great...

This isn't mine but I like it..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMnmjtVCG_4

What kit are you using for your capture? I want to do some of this using my GoPro camera but am just working out what software to use for editing as windows live moviemaker doesn't deal with the MP4's that the camera produces.

I use a Sanyo Xacti - It's pretty small and waterproof... It was recommended by Dylan and I have been really pleased with it!

Strangely soporific!

Very good, I feel more at peace now.

My 14 year old son did this stop motion after his older sister did one in her photography class. the opposite of time lapse I suppose!
