The beginning's were a bit rough... too high exposure, too long shutter, not fast enough intervals.
Last one is the best though:
-every 10 seconds / compiled in quicktime pro, 24 fps
-edited/graded in fcp
-high fstop (~16), long shutter

You using FCP to grab images from the camera, or pushing the shudder every ten seconds, or grabbing frames from video? Very nice, BTW.
Benjamin Schmanke 5 months ago

my workflow is Interval time shooting, combine images with Image Sequence in quicktime pro, compress and save/export with pro-res into 1920x1080, and then edit/trim/color grade/music/titles/etc in fcp.

i'm still playing around with it, and trying to figure out the best exposure settings and all. sometimes a bit tricky, but i'm getting better as time goes on. (i'll be posting a new time lapse compilation video soon, and they are looking even better..)
thanks again, craig.

very nice video i might be picking up a nikon myself, i'm just wondering how you did a time lapse because i read that you can only shoot 5 minutes of video with the d5000?
Benjamin Schmanke 5 months ago

you are correct kennedy (while at 720p that is..)
the way to do time lapse is called interval shooting. you program (via menu) at what intervals, starting time, and how many total shots. (full manual control/settings of course), and then you let it go. it will automatically snap a shot every 'so-many' seconds/minutes you determine, for however long you'd like (or memory card fills.)
hope this helps you.
thanks again.

Awesome Video. I'll definitely be reposting this on my website if you don't mind :)

No problem at all...
(And I'm pretty sure I'll be using Hudson Branch again for some shorts... so keep an eye. ; )

Good stuff! I just bought a D5000 myself and am looking forward to doing some time lapses.

So far I have felt a bit limited with the 999 photo maximum - any idea if there's a way to have the time lapse automatically restart filming?
Benjamin Schmanke 3 months ago

Not that I know of pvision. I've never run into that issue though. (If we do some quick math. A simple time-lapse can be accomplished at an interval of every 10 seconds. 6 shots in a minute. 360 an hour. A bit less than 3 hours of shooting will hit the 999 max. On the other side, a miniDV tape can only hold 60, maybe 90 minutes of footage. Sure, that's video at 25/30fps, but when compiled in post, your 90 minutes will be much shorter than the 999 shots compiled at 24fps, ~41 seconds of video. I'll never have just one time-lapse last that long, or you'll lose the viewers interest. (Unless I'm on a skyscraper and once in a lifetime shot.)
Just my two cents. Thanks again for the comment.
