Second attempt.

Shot with an HVX200 at 2fps using the SD card hack. Shutter at 350 degrees.

The resulting video was layered with two other copies of itself, offset by one and two frames. Composite mode was Add. Top of the frame was matted to keep the sky from blowing out too much.

Resulting video was rendered and then sped up 300%.

Music: Fridge - Cutup Piano

    The "new" fullscreen option takes all his dimension with that type of video. (Just by curiousity, you've just replaced the video, what was the problem with the version just before ?)
  • dalas verdugo 1 year ago
    It still looks too blurry to me. I was trying some different things to get the blur down. If you watch the original QuickTime, you'll see how much clearer it is.
  • Remyyy 1 year ago
    Thanks ! And that's what I have done (downloading) and it's more amazing it's already was.

    Dear Dalas.
    This is very nice. I have yet to try timelapse vids. Reminds me of Godfrey Reggio.

    Truly fantastic concept and the music fits well. I'd love to be able to film things like this as I've always been interested in things like taking long exposure shots and this just takes it to a whole new level. Thanks for the wonderful video.

    is it possible to do that with a canon xm2??
    i cant figure out how to do it..... its awsome hit me back please
  • dalas verdugo 10 months ago
    I guess if the xm2 has a slow shutter mode, you could film for an hour and then speed it up?
  • Don purdie 10 months ago
    the slowest shutter is 1/6.... would that be fine?

    It is absolutely not new. If you saw film Koyaanisqatsi of director Godfrey Reggio know on what reception it is constructed.
    The same effect on a 35 mm is much better and more colourful
  • dalas verdugo 4 months ago
    I'm pretty sure he didn't invent the time-lapse.
  • Mariya Kozlova 4 months ago
    When you look this film at us will be to talk about what. You show a simple special effect which can surprise only nonprofessionals.
  • dalas verdugo 4 months ago
    It's hard to understand what you mean, but surprise was not my goal. At least 176 people seem to appreciate the video. That's good enough for me.
  • dalas verdugo 4 months ago
    [Long cut & paste summary of Koyaanisqatsi removed] I've seen Koyaanisqatsi. That's not what I couldn't understand. Some of your English is confusing.
