Alors là, c’est carrément tout bon à voir ! De magnifiques timelapses tournés au Canon EOS 7D !

pixi-motion.com/2010/08/13/daniel-dragon-films-eye-of-the-beholder/

Opening shot is macro video shot done with Opteka extension tubes and a Canon 50mm EF f/1.8 lens.

All other shots are still photo, time-lapse with a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens.

This was my last film before getting Adobe AfterEffects/CS5, which has really raised the quality of my output in post.

    Hello Daniel. Beautiful video. Sharp shots in beautiful timelapses. Only the video runs not very smoothly(maybe only by me ?).
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    I think Vimeo fixed it, it behaves normally now for me.
  • Ben 1 year ago
    Yes it's much better!.

  • Victoria Taylor-Gore plus 1 year ago
    absolutely gorgeous - amazing low light shots and color...runs fine for me...
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks for the compliments! If any of you have not seen Victoria's artwork or her films, you're missing out.

  • bignic 1 year ago
    love the night-time light house shots!
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Nic. As far as I know, I'm the first person to time-lapse a lighthouse in operation.

  • Andy Bryant 1 year ago
    Tremendous work here my friend. So many sequences to like!
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Andy, if I were you, I'd time-lapse that new baby growing. Same background, kid grows. How cool would that be? Thanks for the compliments.

  • Brad Kremer plus 1 year ago
    Great video Daniel! Lots of beautiful shots in hear!
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Brad. I drew inspiration from "Hayaku" in places.. like the ships going by.

  • Simon Jake Gillespie 1 year ago
    Brilliant work , crisp and clear , the music compliments the film too.
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Simon. I got permission from the artist to use any of his music, but I had to find and mix the sound myself, so I appreciate that.

  • Simon Jake Gillespie 1 year ago
    An excellent job , thanks for sharing it with us.

  • idle fancy films plus 1 year ago
    Daniel, you're doing some amazing stuff now. Love the amusement park shots at night. Totally cool. I haven't seen it done even close to that well before. Keep it up!
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Jacob, I really enjoy doing this kind of thing.
  •  
  • Simon Christen 1 year ago
    Nice work! I like it. Love the lighthouse shot! Has such a nice mood to it. Thanks for sharing.
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Simon. It hasn't gotten as much attention as I'd hoped. I'm planning to go to the mountains to get more elevated/foggy type footage.

  • Chip Bolcik plus 1 year ago
    Very nicely shot. What equipment are you using to get your camera moves?
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Chip, the panning/zooming is all done in post with Pinnacle 14. I now have a motion control dolly from dynamicperception.com

  • Ben 1 year ago
    Hi, Daniel! I've seen this beautiful timelapse earlier. Added to Timelapse and Slowmotion Theater! And added to my new channel HD Time!
    Greetings,
    Ben
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Okay, I didn't see it in the collections for the video, it's been awhile, so I couldn't remember. Thanks for adding it to your new channel.

    I'm getting re-motivated to go back out and shoot after taking a break for a few months. Trying to do new/different/better, as always.
  • Ben 1 year ago
    No I didn't mean that I've seen it earlier in Timelapse and slowmotion theater! So I added it now to this channel too! Good luck with making video's!

  • Mikel Camara 1 year ago
    Great! Love the lighthouse shot
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Mikel! I'm going to have to revisit those lighthouses before too long. They're about 4.5 hours drive from here I live, and it's very dark at night there (good for stars).

  • Kenrick Rampial 1 year ago
    Mind blowing! Great use of time lapse
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    Thanks, Kenrick. That's the coolest compliment I've gotten. :-)

  • Eric Leiser 1 year ago
    wow! Great work. Where is that lighthouse!?
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 1 year ago
    That is Hatteras Lighthouse, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It's the tallest lighthouse in the United States.

    I'm still pretty noobish in the photography world, but this kind of stuff fascinates the hell out of me. The one thing that still boggles my mind is the foreground/object lighting without completely blowing out the rest of the picture or the object. for example the light house, the expose of the house is perfect as well as the stars in the back ground, How did you achieve this? shorter exposure times?
  • Daniel Dragon Films plus 2 months ago
    Christopher, there is no magic here.. the shots of the lighthouse are 30 second exposures at f/2.8. The very last shot is actually the first time I ever tried to shoot a working lighthouse & stars together.

    If you haven't seen my newer piece from the Outer Banks, it builds heavily on the lighthouse/stars theme vimeo.com/25023898
