*******************************************
Filmed over 12 days in August 2011, this is the Tongariro National Park by night.
Being a Wedding Filmmaker the winter is the down season for me so I took some time out to try my hand at time-lapse photography. This is my first attempt at filming time lapse's, And I soon found out filming the milky way at night gets a whole lot more tricky.
I had some new gear I had just purchased to try out so I was stoked to give that a go. I had a few gear issues on my first few nights but turns out it was more 'operator' issues and once I had learn't my lessons I was away flying!
I learn't so much over everyone of the 12 days filming. I had no idea how much work goes into creating a film like this. Preparation is so important and having good time management (which isn't always my strength) goes a long way to getting great footage. The sun, moon and milky way wait for no one. Then when you do finally get the timing right, the clouds get in the way. grrr. Ruined my moonrise!
All in all, I had an epic time and although improvements could have defiantly been made I'm stoked with what I achieved for my first attempt at this type of photography.
Technical Notes:
Most exposures ranged from 30-60 seconds at 1600ISO and spanned 2-4 hours. This gave me 4-8 seconds of time lapsed footage.
Captured on Canon DSLR's
EOS 550D
EOS 60D
EFS 10-22mm (80% of the film was captured with this lens)
EF 24mm f1.4L
EF 50mm f1.4
EF 70-200 f2.8L IS II
Manfrotto Tripod Legs and Heads.
Philip Bloom Pocket Dolly with elektraDRIVE motion control
DitoGear DryEye System (a must have for shooting at night)
One Eveready torch and a couple of LED Lamps to light up the foreground.

nice work!
10-22 best ever wide in a crop :-)
I love the reflections of the stars on the lake!
you're just getting damn good it's flippin so cool to watch the talent blossom!!
LOVE IT
donald
Anyway, how do you have such a long 30-60 second exposure to capture the stars but not overexpose the statue by the time the shutter opens and closes?
Good question. I lit it with a small 2xAA Eveready torch. I then had to put a white t-shirt over it to dim it right down so to my visible eye it almost made no difference. But when you expose for 30sec in that case it balances out with the stars.
I was kinda annoyed the traffic lit the statue but the flicker kinda makes it more dramatic too!
I really need to get a dolly now!
I have the FCP suite (not the new one) which includes compressor. So I imported the photos as an image sequence into that. That gave me a .mov file I could take into Final Cut Pro. I then graded it in Color.
I know some people would probably spew if they knew my BTS workflow but its my first go at this so it worked for me.
Quicktime 7 also allows you to transform stills into a video and I'm sure Premier Pro and After Effects have something.
Yeap Canon SLR's are awesome. My advice, buy a cheaper body and spent the money on good glass. Thats what makes the difference.
If I may ask, did you shoot in AV mode for your day shots? One more thing, did you have flickering or did use deflickering software?
Thanks
I don't have deflicker software. (wish I did). If you look closely flicker does occur during some of the cloud shots.
Anyone know of a deflicker plugin for FCP? I don't have Adobe software.

P.S. I used the same song in this video.

Can i ask more of a different question, have you done to anything to promote this video ? You have had so many hits in the last 3 days.
I wish I knew the answer to that! The only 2 things I did was try and create something that was genuinely good. And secondly I linked it to my Facebook page and asked people to share it.
Thanks it. But really I've got no idea how it spreads. I've always wondered that myself.
thanks for sharing
Big big kudos to Jared for such a great job. It's only deserved that it is being seen by so many people.
Yay for JARED :)
I use after effects for post + deflickering, however, if you are interested.
lrtimelapse.com/
above is a "free" deflicker software that works well with lightroom.
anyway! again amazing work! looking forward to your next project : )
I wish i had a Dry Eye for when i was doing the tongariro circuit... lenses condensing up ruined so many of my timelapsi
All the star shots were about 30-40 seconds. the first water shot was 1.5 seconds. the second waterfall shot was 30 seconds i think
I'm stoked you got to see my work.
I tried to get a 5Dmkii and 14mm f2.8 for the film which would have been ideal but it didn't work out.
However I don't think filming it on a 550D or a 5D would have made much difference to the enjoyment people have gained from watching it. And thats what it's all about in my opinion.
Excellent work, I love it.
looking fwd to more!
