Kuala Lumpur Time Lapse

[joema]

I like time lapses. This one is good

Anyone got any they want to share?

That is amazing.

Out of interest what are the best settings to use when setting up a time-lapse which starts in daylight and goes into night, would it be best to leave the camera on aperture priority and let the camera manage the exposure time?

Impressive, thanks for sharing

Great video - one of those things that makes me want to get into photography

It's very good, I saw it last week - the 'creator' is a friend of a friend

I think it's hard to do something original with timelapse now, but with the people/car following and creative cuts this one really makes a lasting impression.

It is very impressive but my view is that this is something done by someone with a very good "videographer's" eye more than a photographer's. Is there a difference in other people's opinion? Even so, there are a number of 'stills' in the sequence which are still good photos!

Fantastic, enjoyed that

The people/car tracking along with the shots dramatically changing in time with the music are very memorable.

I like it!

I feel like some people (not directing this at people on here) who haven't made a time lapse before don't appreciate just how much work that was to make! Also, it's an HDR time lapse which I've done (albeit no where interesting and only for about 3 hours) and it is a very long process. Hats off to that man

Having given up on a very amateur home version of a time-lapse I tried, I know how much effort that would have taken - not just the photography either! Hence my comment about the "videographer's eye" - in many ways, it's a film that must have been very well planned before any photographs were taken and a huge amount of work during and after that!

My mate is trying to do a simple one now and struggling to create the video.

What's the easiest (he is a 50 year old technophobe) software to use, assume there is some freeware somewhere?

[Vieste]

Very cool.

I used VirtualDub when I made one. It's not hugely user friendly but I used a tutorial and it wasn't too hard. Think it just took a folder of JPGs and then produced an AVI file.

Thanks, have passed the message on.

Quite like this one https://vimeo.com/51621640 Endeavour's last journey

Wow, that's a great one. HDR time lapse sounds like quite a challenge to do, but the result is quite stunning.

As for all the camera angles and changes. I can't even begin to imagine the planning that it took, it all seemed so seamless and flowed very well showing different speeds too. 640 Gigabytes of data and just under 20k photos is believeable for that result.

I've only just started to do a few time lapses myself (they are hardly a new concept so nothing original) and can appreciate some of the time involved, but not the results of this one.

I recognised a lot of the sights too having lived in KL for a while, which made it all the more better.

Over the last few years I've been using my Sony R1, Canon 60D and GoPro to shoot timelapses at many of the spots I've visited on my travels, in general they are just sitting there capturing the world go by for anywhere between 30mins and 7hrs, then thrown together to make a sub 1min video each time and uploaded to Flickr.

My intention was to put them all together at some point, but as normal work gets in the way of finding the time to do so...

Also, there's a distinct lack of music etc, but if you're bored you can find the set of 40 on my Flickr at the following link:-

Very cool!

I forgot about this. I went there last year. Nice to recognise some bits and it's as mental and bright as it seems. Full of life.

My photos arent too great though!
