3. Grandeur Nature 2007 timelapse movie
3 years ago
This is a movie we made for the Grandeur Nature film festival (festivalgrandeurnature.com), in summer 2007. It was intended to be projected as an appetizer before 35mm feature films
The idea was to emphasize the landscape beauty, and to propose an original point of view of this Alps region, as far as timelapse is...
Some shots are boring, some others beautiful...
As there is no end credits, here is a quick list of people involved into it :
• Shots were made by : Stephan Bonnefoy, Didier Mallet, Jan Karel Lameer (timelapse.nl), Xavier Gilles, Mathias Catala, and myself.
• Image processing & color timing was done by myself
• Editing was made by Laurent Frappa and myself
• Musics are from :
- Transvaal ( myspace.com/transvaalmusic )
- Umaano ( myspace.com/umaano )
- Silvano Mercado ( vimeo.com/user1554240 )
Please note that the original file you can download is far better than the recompressed online version, and will play natively at 25FPS, without the really bad online 24 FPS conversion.
Please also note that despite this free high quality download, every shot in this movie is copyrighted, and therefore can't be used for any purpose without full consent of the authors.
Comments are welcome!

Great to see, sometimes it looks if the clouds came from the mountains.
I really liked the thunder and lighting in the night clip.

It has been indeed quite a huge load of work, but it was really fun to do.
Very nice work man, very interesting stuff. I shoot alot of time-lapse and I was wondering what you meant by Image processing & color timing? What programs do you use.
Thank you
• Crop original footage from 3/2 ratio to 16/9 if HD is aimed
• Scale down if static, or pan-zoom programming if you want a cam mvt simulation
• Denoising if nightlapse
• etc...
Color timing is color correcting. This is the difference between what you have and what you're willing to. If well done, this stage is totally transparent to watcher ;)
For about any TL I did, I've been using Apple Shake, which is perfectly designed for that purpose, even if it can do much more than this.
Thank you for sharing !!!!!!!!!!!
I Like this timelapse ....
As everyone says, thank you for sharing!
Mesmerizing.
what kind of camera did you use?
Thanx for your comment! :)
Bref , c'etait hypnotysant , juste le temps de souffler , et je remets ca.
MERCI !
You say the original file can be downloaded, but i cant find it...?!
Keep up the good work.
Best Wishes CD

Now, it is on the right side, under the stats.
And thanx for your comment!
thanks,
alkım.
As said, I find some shots boring. So I may find the edit a bit long.
Some other people find each shot too short.
So, if it's too long for you, and too short for some other guys, I'm probably quite right, no ? ;)
By the way, youre welcome :)
I really appreciate :)
Thanx for your comment

So, you were using Canon still cameras? Were you shooting RAW or JPG? Did you just choose an exposure and stick with it throughout the shot or did you adjust mid-shot? Where did your music come from?
Sorry for all of the questions! For the record, your sequences are the perfect length to give each shot justice.
All shots are fully manually locked : aperture, exposure time, white balance, focus...
The music is from 3 differents friends of mine. 2 are music illustrators and work with computers, and the last one owns a "real" band, named Transvaal. I took some tracks from their album "sounds of passion". I'm so used to hear those musics that I cannot anymore take some distance to judge if they fit well or not, but anyway, these are the only tracks I can use freely, with no copyright problem...
It is definitely the best tool I can dream of. Absolutely everything I need for timelapse processing is available in just one software. Stabilizing (if needed), cropping, scaling down and/or pan-zoom mvts are done with Shake. Color timing is also performed in Shake. I'd be a fool to do this elsewhere! ColorCorrect node is just marvellous and incredibly complete.
NLE is really just for editing shots together and outputting to tape.
And don't be sorry to ask, I'm glad to be useful if I can...
Agreed. Shake is a wonderful tool for timelapse. Never experimented with the color node though... taking your lead and going to have a play with that node.
Keep up the fantastic work!
loved every lapse of it in time...!
...well, to the lovely music of course! ;)*
I guess I'm just trying to say I loved it.
One question that I find myself troubled with from time to time, what do u use to power the camera's and laptop? Or are you always near a power source?
Don't feel disappointed with what you've done. We all start...at the beginning. Maybe I've just started a bit earlier, that's all :)
Also, once technical mastering is achieved, only there begins the real work...and it has nothing to do with technique. All these electronic devices and computers are just tools, don't fool yourself...
When in the field, I use lead batteries, half or third the size of a car battery, going to a 12V-220V converter, and then I use AC-power on both laptop & camera.
This is by far not the most effective way because converter wastes a lot of power, but that's all I have for now.
The best thing to do is to convert DC to DC of course, but the 220V solution allows no worry about connecting whatever equipment you need on it, when the DC-DC conversion requires dedicated connectors from the converter to your camera and/or laptop...
loved it
greetings from spain
Gorgeous!!!
Really happy you like it! :)
D'abord, Félicitations, c'est juste superbe, j'aime beaucoup la musique aussi.
Maintenant, petite question (évidemment!). J'ai lu que tu utilisais Shake et que tu faisais la prise de vue en branchant directement l'appareil photo au portable. Mis à part que je dois apprendre à me servir de shake, peux tu me dire quel soft tu utilises pour faire la capture des images à interval régulier? J'ai un k10d, j'ai essayé de le brancher avec Aperture, mais impossible de prendre des photos (j'ai du me louper quelque part), et de toute facon, je n'ai vu nul part le mode pour prendre des photos automatiquement...
Merci...
:)
Pour prendre le contrôle de ton appareil depuis un logiciel, il faut impérativement que ce logiciel te soit fourni par le constructeur de l'appareil. Lui seul a techniquement de quoi piloter à distance via l'USB l'appareil. Inutile donc de s'échiner avec Aperture. Il semblerait que pentax propose un logiciel qui pourrait le faire : pentaximaging.com/customer_care/show_software?softId=8793673
Par ailleurs, tu dois avoir une prise sur le boitier pour brancher une remote externe, qui elle peut te fournir toutes les fonctions nécessaires. Soit il existe une telle remote, soit tu achètes une remote d'une autre marque (la TC-80N3 de Canon par ex) et tu modifies le câble si la prise est différente...un peu bricolo, mais avec de fortes chances de fonctionner. Fouille un peu les forums, use et abuse de Google, tu devrais rapidement trouver ton bonheur ;)
Merci
Bonne continuation!
thanks
The kept/done ratio is very high, something like 1 used for 2 or 3 made. Far more than usual standard filming.
The total spent time is incredibly high of course, but night shootings don't count, as no one stay near the camera. Many more interesting things to do at night ;)
Also we were 3-4 different shooters, I didn't do them all, and when I was going out to make some shots I took as many available cameras and laptops (3 or 4 of them at same time), so this way I could really maximise spent time...
About aperture, not a single shot was made with auto iris. As said before, every single parameter was set to manual : aperture, exposure time, white balance, focus...
And thanx for your greats comments!
En esperant pouvoir un jour discuter avec vous, je viens d'Orcières et suis producteur
Avec quel matériel les prises de vues ?
Bernard
La très grande majorité des plans a été tournée avec un Canon 350D et son grand frère le 400D.
La postprod spécifique au timelapse a été faite avec Shake, puis le montage dans Final Cut, et voila!
Encore merci!
Thank's for sharing.
Rainer
And jaw dropping is indeed perfectly self-explanatory :)
even wrote about it,
artisticthings.com/2008/08/27/grandeur-nature-2007-timelapse-movie/
dont know what more to say! thanks!
and one question: can you give me some link, wint info, on how to do suck a zooming in timelapse with photocamera ?
when i read that you made this with photocamera, i was like "WOW"!!!!
im sorry to ask, maybe, a dumb question, but i own a 350D and NOW i am really interested in experimenting :)
p.s. just ordered the remote control you mentioned :P
As photo camera provides way more definition than even full HD needs, you can zoom without going over 100% of original source, so pictures stay super clean
You can use softwares like After Effects or Shake to do this. Any experience with After Effects, for ex ?
Nice to see you running into timelapse making! :)
It's quite lot of fun!
And don't be disappointed with your first experiments, as there are lots of things to master at once to get a decent result...
Thanx!
I think you can buy one here :

About the first piece of music, I know there is a myspace page. Lemme some time to dig it...
Thx for your comments!
