T_Bone2012 Posted January 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I took a series of time lapse videos from our rear balcony - It's definitely a different way to view a cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boeckli Posted January 25, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very well done - must try that! What program did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Bone2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very well done - must try that! What program did you use? I brought a tripod, used the kodak software that came with my digital SLR to take a shot every 8 seconds, then used quick time pro to make the movies. I also brought an external hard drive to transfer the images to, as each sequence took up 7GB of space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Bone2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted January 25, 2012 One part I left out - the most important one! I used iMovie to assemble the smaller clips and add the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Bone2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for sharing. I love time lapse videos. They are my favorite. :D Thanks - it was fun making them, although I was a bit hesitant to just leave the camera out on the balcony unattended for hours at a time! On our next cruise I'll just have get a few cocktails and set it up out front and just relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our next cruise I'll just have get a few cocktails and set it up out front and just relax! Oh gosh. I hadn't even thought of that. I guess maybe I was thinking it was done only while you were on the ship there with it. :eek: I can't imagine leaving my camera there while I went ashore. I would freak out the whole time. :D Great job though. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted February 11, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm so doing this in 3 weeks! I have to use a remote/timer for my base model Rebel, but have done some good sunset and star time lapses in the past. Wish I liked Apple enough to buy their equipment for processing, every Windows based program I've tried just plain stinks. Excellent job, really enjoyed the production. Do you shoot in manual mode, auto, or some priority mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you shoot in manual mode, auto, or some priority mode? I still use my old rebel xs. I use the basic Canon rebel xs software that came with the camera - i think you can download it from their site. I really want to get a rotating tripod attachment this year! I've shot on both auto and shutter priority. The auto mode doesn't do will if you are transitioning from day to night.

shootr Posted February 22, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well TBone, I've got the timelapse bug BAD!!! Playing around with my old Sealife dive camera, discovered it has the SPY setting for time lapse's. Now it's only 6MP, runs off of two AA's, and can only accommodate 2GB cards - but as I run tests with it at 10 second intervals it will do all 600 pics to fill the card, little under 2 hours coverage. At 30 second intervals the NiMH batteries die after 4 hours, just under 500 images. This is a sample at the 30 sec. interval (run at .07/sec per image in the movie) - a little too jerky I think. (Stupid Photobucket - click to go to full screen to see it as smoothly as it can get - and their compression is adding the artifacts in the dirt, they are much clearer full resolution) http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii276/kingshootr/?action=view¤t=tuliptimelapse.mp4 Will stick with the 10 sec. interval - yours look really smooth at 8 sec/per. exposure. What frame rate did you use when making your movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Bone2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Author #19 Share Posted February 22, 2012 What frame rate did you use when making your movie? That looks great! There are a lot of scenes I want to do time lapses of, but I don't have 2-3 hours of patience to guard my camera! I need to find a great book and learn to relax! I reduce my quality down to 5MP to conserve space on my hard drive (each of my videos uses over 900 images) I used 15 frames per second for my videos, and would have used 24 fps if my computer could handle it!

shootr Posted March 13, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 13, 2012 And the port in Cozumel. Screwed this one up, only got an hour's worth of shots. Rest of the week was just bad conditions or no time to set up. http://s266.photobucket.com/albums/ii276/kingshootr/Cruise%20WDW%202012/?action=view¤t=cozwmusic.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job- now you'll be hooked! Here is my last movie shot using an iPhone! Luckily it's a private jet, so there was no flight attendant yelling at me!
