Best Viewed in Fullscreen and HD.

This is a collection of timelapse pieces that I shot between late June and early August, 2011, in Eastern Wyoming, and Western Nebraska.

All sequences were shot on the 5D Mark II, in RAW format. The lens used, in all but two shots, was a 24mm f/1.4L II, which I rented from Borrowlenses.com. The other two were shot on my 16-35mm f/2.8L II.

Motion control for the timelapse shots were provided by the excellent Dynamic Perception Stage-Zero Dolly. Since purchasing the dolly, I have been using motion control on almost every timelapse that I shoot.

I have to say, shooting this piece was one of the best experiences that I have had in my life. Travelling 1000 miles from home to spend the summer trying to capture all of the beauty around me was amazing. I finally had the chance to truly see what the night sky was supposed to look like, and it left me breathless. During many moments in the video, you can see plenty of shooting stars, along with a few satellites, and a plane here and there.

Music is "Death is the Road to Awe" by Clint Mansell, from the soundtrack to "The Fountain". Available here itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-fountain-music-from-motion/id204669166

Nice to see "Good vs Evil" at 2:15 made it into the film. Great photo.

3:01 also took my breath away. Wonderful framing.

3.5 GB, wow, that was a big upload…that probably took as long to upload as to shoot
Ben Grubb 5 months ago

Very cool! I especially like the astro time lapses. What intervals were you shooting on those?
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks! The astro shots were mostly 25 second exposures, with 2 seconds between shots.

Absolutely gorgeous-eye-watering visuals. I realized halfway through the second viewing, I was holdin m y breath to better concentrate on the video-wouldn't recommend that to viewers (it takes hours to get the backwards 'qwerty' off your forehead after you wake up). Simply and truly marvelous.

Eric GREAT JOB - Good variety and great shots, well done.
I also love the framing at 3:01

Did you do HDR exposures or just the good old gradient ND filters, and with a few shots a polariser?
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks! No HDR here!
Joe Louw 5 months ago

I thought so, NO HDR - All I can say is "respect" good for you man going the true photography way. Nice one - keep it up.

Great job Eric, you had some great skies to shoot in Wyoming! The forest fire at night is real cool.
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks, Randy! Thanks for helping inspire me with your videos, and thanks for the advice on the dolly!
Sheldon Neill 5 months ago

Eric, sick video! This is nice addition to your collection! All your timelapses were sharp and vibrant. Do I sense you used a gradient filter somewhere in here? ;)

Some of my favorite shots were around 0:53 and 1:55.

I noticed you rented the Canon 24mm f/1.4L II from BorrowLenses.com I used the same lens for my Whitney video. How'd you like it? - kudos
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks, Sheldon. You would be correct about the gradient filters : ) Single exposures, no HDR.

Very nice man, I really enjoyed the shot with the statue of the speared Indian.
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks! I thought the Indian was speared, as well, but the statue is called End of the Trail, and it is a warrior holding it next to him. It was kind of an eerie thing to shoot, thinking about the what the past was like out in the Wild West.
Leandro 5 months ago

I loved that one two. Amazing work. Keep it up!
Harrison Houde 5 months ago

That was AMAZING.. Tell me, how do you get to see the stars like that with a DSLR? I have a 7D and am wanting to start doing time lapses, getting a timer remote soon, and I would LOVE and work hard to get results like this :)
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks! Dark skies will take you a long way. There was very little light pollution in the area.
Martin Heck 5 months ago

Man, that was killer ! Yesterday I heard the song and thought, that would be a really nice one for my next timelapse movie.
Do you use Lightroom to edit the images ? Too the forest fire is purely epic. All in all I can really say, that your work is one of the best timelapse-videos I have seen on the web.
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks! Lightroom is my first step in the timelapse process.

Truly a visual feast. I have seen many 5D pieces on Vimeo and none of them has the clarity and vibrance that yours does. How did you achieve the brilliance in color? What do you use to post your work?

Beautiful work.
Can you tell me what's the necessary equipment to do the stars lapses? Can I do it only with my Lumix GH2, or do I need some equipment? And can I do it by filming and then in post production just speed, or I necessary must to do photograps and than join them all in a sequence?

Nice work Eric, was the clip at 2:20 in cold weather?
Eric Hines 5 months ago

Thanks, Dan! No, coldest it got while shooting these was about 55 degrees. Those are the lights from the town I was in. There was a nice sized hill in the middle of the town to look over everything.
