Camera: Panasonic Lumix GH1 (1.32) with the kit (14-140mm) lens and B+W ND 106 or 110 filter
Tripod: Manfrotto 745B and 701RC2 video head
Settings: Manual, ISO 100, 1/2 second exposure (“dragging the shutter”). The images were shot at 1 second intervals.
Post Processing:
:: Image set adjusted in Adobe Lightroom 3.2 (contrast only, no colouration)
:: Image set imported into an Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 2K 24p project
:: Exported as 2048x1024 24p MP4
Soundtrack: Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia (Aram Khachaturian, 1903-1978)

Well done : )
PS I just watched your "Sailing the Pacific" and loved it: vimeo.com/16104952
The light was amazing on those two days. But it was sometimes difficult to find an exposure setting that would reasonably encompass the rapidly changing conditions. A critical eye would notice that some of the frames in the deck sequences are slightly blown out - but this is due to the fact that the camera was set to expose properly 'most of the time' during each sequence.
I wonder how much influence the 1/2 second exposure (made possible through the Neutral Density filter) had on the dynamic range? Maybe an expert out there could tell us..? ;-)
Many thanks indeed for your feedback.
Kudos!
:-))
As to the GH2: My GH1 is hardly a year old! ;-)
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.
PS I've sent you a message with an eBay link.
And the ship itself is truely amazing, I've seen the hour long documentary on Nat geo about it.
Maybe some day I'll board that ship and make a few timelapses of my own, if I do I'll let you know haha.
Edit: I love how the movement of the ship makes the clouds seem to shake arround if you know what I am saying, might have sounded a bit vague there haha.
why not use after effects? was the a special reason you chose to use premiere instead?
great work nonetheless!
The source material for this project required some global adjustment to the image sets - Adobe Lightroom is my preferred tool for that purpose due to its batch processing capabilities. By importing the image sets directly into Adobe Premiere Pro, they can be handled quite unremarkably as clips in the timeline. This work-flow obviates the need for any intermediate compression of the images and thereby assures the highest quality input into the project.
Naturally, other work-flows are possible - it's a judgement call. So to answer your question directly - I didn't need to use Adobe After Effects on this occasion to get the desired results.
Many thanks indeed for your feedback.
All the best, Adonis.
Thanks David
You'll only ever need two ND filters for this sort of work:
B+W 106 ND 1.8 which gives a light reduction of six f-stops.
B+W 110 ND 3.0 which gives a light reduction of ten f-stops.
The 106 is reducing the amount of light transmitted to 1.563%, whereas the 110 brings the light transmission down to a measly 0.098%. Plus you'll notice the introduction of a slight warm tone to your images due to the relative increase in infra-red getting through..
I often use the 106 in combination (stacked) with a B+W C-POL polarising filter.
With these filters you'll be shooting with a combination of long exposure and wide aperture which goes a long way towards avoiding time-lapse 'flicker' in the assembled clip.
For further information, the manufacturer's page can be accessed here: schneiderkreuznach.com/pdf/filter/filters-for-digital-photography.pdf
All the best, Adonis.
