Super lapsing work! I like watching the tiny people move about in the buildings and all the sky colour changes in the sequence that begins at 2m 40s.

Cool choice of track too.
Sunny Thaper 2 years ago

Beautiful work! Good song choice too.

Brilliant and mesmerizing - Tokyo is the perfect stage for time lapse work.
I'm curious about your hybrid Virtual Dub and Vegas process - I also use both of those. Is final rendering in Vegas?
HaJooo 2 years ago

Just to latch onto Edvard's post, great work, wonderful to watch.
And I am curious as well about what bits and pieces you leave to Virtual Dub - any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this.
edvard brun 2 years ago

OK, HaJoo - right now I'm using VDub for its deflicker filter for TL sequences that despite all my workarounds still have some variation in lighting, due to Canon lens issue. It's also good for deshake filter for video captures that aren't smooth enough... Then I do final processing / editing in Sony Vegas.

Oman Mirzaie 2 years ago

might sound like a dumb question but how do you work out exposure times? As the light changes so much.
Samuel Cockedey 2 years ago

Just set the aperture and let the camera do the rest!

...So you don't have to set a specific shutter value to achieve blurred car lights?
Chris Kennedy 2 years ago

Very well done. I take it you pulled the camera before the T-storm hit the city?
Samuel Cockedey 2 years ago

Actually it never hit... not a drop of rain...
Brönnimann 2 years ago

i think it was a huge project!
i was just imagine to organise all the people turning the light on and off, when you where capturing ! ;)
well done !

Richard The Rough 2 years ago

Amazing job.
For me it's science fiction how to do something like that (maybe filming is clear, but how mangae all that hours to do the edit of the clip yes).
Absolutely well done.
