+++ UPDATE +++
Please watch the 1080p version: vimeo.com/21278369
This is my first attempt using a DSLR to shoot Timelapse.
I snatched my sisters Canon 450D and borrowed a Kessler Cineslider from a friend.
I never had any experiences with DSLR´s before, but i always was fascinated viewing time lapses online.
So i decided to do it myself!
I learned allot during 2 months of shooting (the weather was terrible most of the time), but i still have to learn more.
The flicker-problem was a big one, so i discovered great software to get rid of it.

Most of the shoots were taken with the kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm f3.5), except the illuminated city at the end of the clip.
This was taken with the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8., and i love it.
Unfortunately, my district is very boring (Hamburg/Germany). No mountains, light pollution preventing me to shoot many stars and it was very cold.
Next time i will start to teach myself a new technique during Summer!
Standing 3-4 hours at a low temperature (-10°C/14F) freezes my tails off!
Enjoy the video and don`t forget to rate and comment!

Yes, Hamburg is a great city, but i miss some mountains touched by clouds.
One Question:
What are your exporting preferences for Vimeo?
I saw a couple of your videos and they look crystal clear without blocking or banding.
Especially on Youtube my videos look horrible.
BTW, thanks for your software!
Deine Videos sind sehr, ehm..., geil!
Besonders beeindruckt haben mich das "Helikopter-Video", wegen der Still`s, und "The Happiness", weil es gute Laune macht.
Ich liebe den Look der DSLR`s, und kann es kaum erwarten, meine 450D zu tode zu knipsen, um mir dann eine 60D zu holen.

No, this shot is done with "Cinema 4D".
welchen picturestyle hast du denn benutzt?
und in welchem modus hast du gefilmt? ich nehme an manuell, oder? außerdem noch eine letzt frage - alle wieviel sekunden hast du ein bild gemacht?
mfg, tom!
Dann kann ich mir in "Lightroom" den Picturestyle aussuchen.
Ansonsten eigentlich immer Standard.
Der Modus ist auf manuell gesetzt, es sei denn, das Licht ändert sich, wie z.B. bei einem Sonnenuntergang. Dann auf "AV".
Die Intervalle varieren zwischen 2-3 Sekunden bei relativ schnell bewegten Objekten, wie z.B. Autos, Schiffe, Menschen u.s.w., und zwischen 20-30 Sekunden bei Sternen, Sonnenuntergängen etc.

MfG, Tom!
i know u use GBDeflicke for flicker problem
but the others? i have AE & LR but not the other 2.
jus want to get the idea for the work flow as i am new to this field.
ur help would be very much appreciated!
thank u in advance!
Sony Vegas is an editing software. You can use any other products like Premiere, Final Cut, etc.
I`m using AE to render the photos into a video file (Avid DNxHD-Codec).
LRTimelapse is a great tool to animate exposure for example (link is in the description). It can also deflicker your footage.
Cinema 4D is a 3D-Program i used to animate the opening credits and the earth. It`s not necessary for timelapse sequences:-).

MD
