For 10 days in August 2011, my friend Anthony and I set out on an "epic" adventure to timelapse some of our homeland of Trinidad. The adventure was awesome... some of the TLs not so much... but hey it was literally all about the journey... and shooting a tremendous 25,000+ stills :)
I'll have more about our trials, tribulations, and triumphs up soon on my blog @ fuji27.wordpress.com/
I must confess that the music is definitely more epic than some of the clips. Still, hope you enjoy the vid :)

Prev week
For the city shot, I was shooting at a shutter speed of 1" at f/5.6 at ISO 640, the blur was manually moving the focus ring every few shots... didn't know how it would turn out until now :)
Yep looking forward to doing more soon.
I'll be in London next week ... say yes
Still a work in progress, can't wait to do more. What was even more fulfilling was rediscovering my homeland :)
All thanks to your gear :)
Those are my most favorite clips... that and being able to finally capture a decent little star lapse :)
Yep those statue shots really worked with the music. Gotta love dramatic clouds :)
I am glad the vid turned out well. I really had an amazing time working on it back home :)
really congrats :)
contento de que hayan disfrutado el video. También feliz se vieron sorprendidos por ella, así:)
No puedo esperar para ver lo que lapso de tiempo en el Perú.
excusa cualquier error de traducción, estoy usando la herramienta de google translate:)
Yep really amazing what you can do with some awesome Kessler Crane gear, we had alot of fun on the project :)
I'm also doing a timelapse video and I'll use an epic music to so I don't think there is a type of music specifically for this type of videos.
I'm using the Lumix GH2, but it's my first test with the camara. So the results probably won't be as great as yours. If you have some advice to me on how using the GH2 I I was grateful.
The best advice in general is to practice, practice, practice :)
it was a combination of Adobe Lightoom and Magic Bullet Looks
keep up the great work Kevin!
What did u use for manage the differences of light at 0:50?
Really fan from 1:15 to 1:40, the illusion was perfect!!
And how long sleeping per night?? ;-)
I did a first pass on the images using LR Timelapse ( lrtimelapse.com/ ) but still found the flicker to be a bit gnarly, so after I finished the edit, I sent it through After Effects and used GBS Deflicker ( granitebaysoftware.com ), which did a much better at deflickering the clip at 0:50 :)
Yep the statue scenes are my favorite as well. Surprisingly we got atleast 5 hours a night rest :)
Yep I think LR Timelapse is great cause it's free and it usually works well, but for some clips it just didn't work. GBS Deflicker is US$100 but it really cleaned the clips up, still some flicker, but I didn't play around much with all the options.
Thanks so much and keep it coming!
Thanks again, I hope to do 2.0 next year, will keep you informed ;)
Glad you liked it! I'll try to organize a photo walk next time I'm in Trinidad :)
Well keep you posted :)
Yep told Anthony already, he's the x-factor :) that and social media... U guys need to get on Twitter :)
Yep Trinidad is soo beautiful, and this is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak :)
Yep some of my favorite parts of the vid :)
The toys do help I would admit, but I also like the simplicity of shooting the sky and letting the stars move for themselves :)
Definitely like my Kessler Gear, but there are tonnes you can do creatively in post :)
That's so awesome, enjoy the journey in Nepal and Tibet. Can't wait to see what you come up with ;)
Yep our homeland is really magnificent... just wish some ppl would stop messing it up!
We used a Kessler Crane Shuttle Pod System, kesslercrane.com
Really glad you enjoyed the vid :)
