Here's our latest test with camera projection and timelapse.

The VFX Breakdown is available here:

This technique allows to create timelapse shots where the camera is moving in such way that is impossible to achieve in the real world.

In this technique, the static timelapse shot is projected onto a 3D geometry and the virtual camera is created to film the scene.

The geometry may be either recreated manually, generated basing on DEM models, LIDAR data or photogrammetrically.

Many thanks to Greg Downing @ XREZ studio for inspirations.
