Autumn. A short timelapse film
1 year ago
The short was shot partially during the Jodlow Star Party 2010 in the middle of September, where we did serious testing of DitoGear™ Slider pre-production units and also during a few recent days at surprising surroundings of Wrocław, Poland.
What I love about this slider is that it works either in horizontal and vertical mode giving the option for crane-like shots. It adds a lot to your shooting style being very compact and portable at the same time.
Needless to say it works not only as a time-lapse dolly, but also as a video slider at higher speeds. The short, however, features only timelapse shots.
As you get more and more gear it is sometimes difficult to keep focused on shooting. The slider is very easy and quick to setup and provides a really intuitive and convenient user interface. I can virtually start shooting within 3 minutes on a location. It is a huge step forward comparing to my previous DIY timelapse dolly which took ma about an hour to setup.
If you're interested in the DitoGear™ Slider you'll find more details at ditogear.com
I am also planning on writing a more detailed product review on lookycreative.com. Stay tuned.
Enjoy the film!

Czekam na recke sprzetu - bo jakis super tani nie jest :)
Or was that simply just all HDR and not colour corrected? I'm really interested in how you got those images looking so good! Very well done man! Would love to hear your experience from shooting this!
In terms of SDR shots I do basic color decisions during the RAW files development (ACR) on single shots (I mean sequences), later the entire film is color corrected after editing in NLE.
With HDR it is a bit different. The basic temperature correction is done on a first step when merging subexposures to 32bpp HDR image. Then, the most of processing goes in the process of tone-mapping of 32bpp images to 16-bit TIFFs. After that, again, final color correction of the entire film in NLE.
Kudos!
How are you batch processing those into HDR if you don't mind me asking?

Nice workflow write up.

Cheers from Italy.

Now I expect something creative from your new toys!
Regarding HDR: This technique does not convince me on many shots here. I feel that you could use SDR there, and that's sufficient. I mean that HDR does not add anything here in the details of image but makes it look weird. Unlike when you photograph sky...
Good luck in upcoming creations! Best regards from Lodz.
To feed your expectations - I am starting a huge project right now, not only filmic, but rather sort of multimedia live show that will include also about 1h long non-narrative film. Will be probably released in the middle of 2011. Stay tuned!
Regarding the HDR - I can't completely agree with you. My intention was to achieve sort of artificial and glamour sweet look which requires a great light and/or aggressive processing. I agree that a lot of scenes in fact did not require HDR approach because it was possible to capture them using the available 12-stop tonal range of the camera, BUT capturing them with -2/+2 bracketing allowed me to do much more aggressive processing as during the exposure stacking process the signal amplifies and the noise is being averaged and reduced. This sort of aggressive grading/postproduction would not be possible using single exposure timelapse or reel footage.
Great work...now I gotta find $1500 somewhere :(

great color grading and non-flickery HDR timelapse work dude. awesome.
that first part with the trees and the shot over the marsh is epic. nice one.
Very inspiring work. I have a question. The colorization on the video? It looks amazing, what was used in order to get that almost glowing appeal to it?
To make a long story short - a bit of talent mixed with pinch of software and experience :) Please check the URL in the description of the film referring to my TL workflow writeup. Also - check my comments above I detailed a few subjects.
WOW.
Excelent work!

Fun to watch. Up nice to look at videos and pictures that you added.
What type of dolly you was using in this video ?
Thanks for all
HDR videos/photos going to share same fate as high pass filter: more people discover it uglier it gets. It is easy to use but it also very easy to loose sense and make this effect too powerful. Same thing here, gentle HDR is definitely adds to whole shot, but when you can clearly see those soft borders, it kinda looking like bad example of high pass overusage. Best special FX is one when you can't even tell that this is special FX.
My 2c.
Whats the song ???!!! =))
