This is a visual experiment based on water timelapsing.
The basic idea and challenge was to timelapse water stream, which is a really difficult matter with this particular technique, and still get something interesting.
So here is the result...
Nothing spectacular happens, compared to classic timelapses, but it's simply beautiful, and that should be enough for you to take a look ;)
Pictures were shot in french Alps region named Queyras, in summer 2007.
Soundtrack has also been composed at that time, by Silvano Mercado, in one single afternoon...
Enjoy and feel free to leave any comment.

Prev week
Cameras were a Canon EOS 400D and a 30D, both with standard zoom lens.
But- That was great.
I take it that the movement effect was a Pan and Zoom?
Thanks.
Stewart
You are right, all movements are done in post.
I used Shake for it, as it is by far the most precise render engine I've ever used. Colortiming was also done with Shake.
Thanks,
Mark
The thing is to avoid water scattering. You can choose to have long exposure (1-2s), but it dissolves about anything in movement. Another way is to have a shorter exposure time, and blend adjacent frames together in a video software, to get rid of the scatter.
The moving painting effect you describe may be sky/clouds reflections on the wet stone. Not anticipated at all, but quite noticeable and interesting for sure.
C'est en effet très beau et impressionnant.
Thanx for your comments and really glad you got it ;)
I promise, next time I'm in front of it, I kiss it and tell you what it really was ;)
BUT you better use a good Nikon D300 ! ;)
/maybe its stupid question, but how you doing that zooming in or out in timelapse scenes hmm very cool job!/
thank you fro sharing
Hi Sam
Zooms & pans are of course done in post.
I take benefit of extra rez I get by shooting with DSLR.
In full HD format, you can have a nearly x2 zoom available in post, without going deeper than pixel nominal size...
Very patient guy ;)
Great to watch. Would be nice as a screen saver.

just make sure you're on the regular Guil page (vimeo.com/1519617) then locate the download link on the right side, below the stats.
edit : you need a Vimeo account to get the download link, but I guess you've already got it...
Love your work...
About equivalent, I know there's an old 2.5 Shake version that runs on windows, but I guess on an old windows version also...
Unfortunately, as I've never used a PC of my entire life, I have strictly no experience or knowledge about PC software.
You may try Shake forums on various websites, like creativecow for example. You'll probably get some valuable feedback.
never thought about getting a mac ? ;)
good luck!
I'll look into that, thanks for the info.
Lucky you on the PC avoidance!! I used to use workbench alot on the old Amiga's... so much better than PC's and Microsoft... I am toying with the idea of getting a Mac now....
Love your work, your inspiring alot of people...
Wayne
I forgot to mention that of course After Effects can do what you need, and runs on PC.
So AE may be a good choice, even if not as fine & sharp as Shake is. You can still make beautiful things with it, and has the advantage of being pretty easy to use...
And if you need any advice to choose a mac or a configuration, just ask me, I'll be glad to help.
Have a nice sunday

how much did that camera cost? :)
Thank you !
Joan
Well done...
I did the music... i did the music... : )
And i'm proud to be part of if.
He he !
PM me if you need more specific info, and enjoy french alps, it is probably the best moment to spend time where you are :)
Can you please recommend a software solution now that Apple doesn't support Shake anymore?
Shake is not supported anymore, but it still runs on the latest machines & OS, so you can still work with it!
Typical workflow is raw shooting, lightroom to 'develop' to 16bit RGB, then the rest is for Shake.
I had a quick look to your HDR timelapses, and you have typical HDR to LDR flicker. The only way to use photomatix is to avoid tone mapping based on picture content, unless you don't mind flicker ;)
My approach is to use lightroom extensively, with grades and brush to correct exposure where needed before unrawing, then color timing within shake.
