Nice locations, great dolly shots! I have some questions:
- what camera did you use?
- what is the location at 01:56?
Bravo for this video!
Mindrelic 1 year ago

thanks! this was shot all on Canon 5dmark2s, and that was shot from a rooftop on 27th street. epic location!

This is great... good timing with music and nice short clips without wasting frames, excellent!
Rune Aarestrup Pedersen 1 year ago

This is really amazing! I'm very impressed!!

I'm kind a new, and have only done a few short timelapse by myself.. My question is: the moving in the picture (e.g. from right to left) is it done manually while recording, or edited afterwards?

Thanks for sharing

Rune
Mindrelic 1 year ago

thanks! its a mix of both. I use a dolly rig for a lot of the shots, and will also take static shots and add pans in post

Vilius Bajorinas 1 year ago

Incredible work :)
can you explain how you made that very very slow movement with your camera?
Mindrelic 1 year ago

all the moves are a combination of dolly moves (link in description to how thats done), and pans done in post editing.
Vilius Bajorinas 1 year ago

thanks man ;)
Matty2x4 1 year ago

nice work!
1 question if I may. The cars at 1:30, how did you get the exposure from short to long? Did you leave the shot intervals the same and use the camera on something like aperture priority to slowly drag out the exposures?
Oh and nice music.
Mindrelic 1 year ago

that effect was done using a device called "the little bramper". You put the camera into bulb mode, and this thing slowly ramps the shutter speed up or down over time, allowing you to shoot day to night transitions.
Matty2x4 1 year ago

thanks, will google that
Mike Lanfor 11 months ago

Acutally impressed you used the little Bramper with the DP dolly.... how did you intergrate to 2 for s-m-s while ramping the shutter speed? Also, did you leave the iso fixed for this shot?

Where's the "love" button? This is really nice.. buying one a DP Zero Stage kit as soon as they come in stock again.
Mindrelic 1 year ago

thanks daniel! the DP rig is awesome, and quite aptly named i must say :)
Mike Schrengohst 1 year ago

Cool, how did you keep people from tripping over your dolly set-up in NYC??? LOL
Mindrelic 1 year ago

haha the shots in times square did involve a little elbow action to keep people from kicking the tripods
Mike Schrengohst 1 year ago

I can imagine! It's hard enough not to kick the tripods when you are the only one around the set-up! LOL
You should have done another timelapse from behind the set-up so you could count how many people were asking you what "channel" this was going to be on......
Richard Gluck 1 year ago

wow, really good. you seem to be the main man on the east-coast. really digging your choice of locations and screen direction. making a smooth transition into moco from static. the only constructive criticism would be the song, kind of sounds like a teenage girl coming of age story? haha, jk. certainly the best dp | stage zero timelapse vid i've seen to date.
Mindrelic 1 year ago

thanks richard! hahah that song is the last track on a cd from a band in the bay area, Dredg. At least its not enya, right? :P

Chip Bolcik 1 year ago

Very pretty. How do you handle light changes so beautifully, i.e. day into night. Thanks!
Mindrelic 1 year ago

chip, theres a awesome little device called 'the little bramper' which connects to the camera while in bulb mode and slowly ramps the shutter speed over time to give to smooth light shifts. google it :)
Chip Bolcik 1 year ago

Thanks so much. Your stuff is gorgeous!
Thomas Bethell 1 year ago

Josh, I really enjoyed your film. In case you don't know, there's a new hardware/firmware version of Little Bramper. It has some features that simplify day to night shots. I'd be happy to get you up to date. - Tom.
Mindrelic 1 year ago

Tom that would be great! I'll be in touch soon, I still have your email from when i got in touch with you in October.
