Grass Valley video shoot Time Lapse

admin — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:21:45 +0000

ever wonder what the setup and tear down of a video shoot looks like, i have, so i decided to do a time lapse of a couple of the setups we did and of course the tear down. the entire time lapse spans about 14 hours of work over a few days.
the shoot was with a local company here in portland or called picture this and was for grass valley, a very high end equipment producer for HD and slo-motion cameras and also very large switcher boards. basically any sporting event on television is shot using their cameras and switcher boards.

make sure to look for the killer fight sequence at the end of the video!

in case you don’t know world, i have a thing for time lapses, it’s definitely platonic, but might be border line insanity. just when i think i have had enough of them i either get an amazing idea for another one or i find a video of one that makes my brain do a 360 in my head! this is definitely one of the latter. i found this video when i was trying to research how to do long form time lapses for a project i have in my head, and i couldn’t help be watch it over and over again. this production crew is amazing and the project they were able to pull off is something i would love to do. here’s the details:

David Attenborough explains how producer Neil Lucas, cameraman Tim Shepherd and graphic designer Mick Connaire tackled a highly complex two-year-long time-lapse project for the BBC.

They were documenting the life and growth of plants during a one year course on a tiny english woodland location. It’s worth watching!

simply amazing….

just wanted to put up a quick post for my friend brian because i know he loves all the time lapses i do. i can’t help it, i think they are amazing and when i see something that i think would make a good lapse i shoot it. hahaha so here’s a quick one for you, shot from the fire escape at my work, which is why there are rain drops on it at the end.

Recent trip to Indianapolis time lapse

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:14:39 +0000

so i recently went to indianapolis for some work and was lucky enough to have a hotel room right outside of lucas stadium where the colts play. well, for some reason I couldn’t sleep while I was there so I decided to start a time lapse at night around 4 am and let it run while i tried to go to sleep. then i had to wake up at 8 for work. so here is the 4 hours starting at night and going till morning. this is my first time lapse going from night to daytime, so i hope the world thinks it turned out ok. it’s a little shaky at times, i think it’s because of the heater turning on in my room. to get the angle and shot i wanted i had to prop one leg of my tripod on the heater and when i did this i am pretty sure that’s where the shake comes from… it was shot with my 7D on auto shutter, ISO 800, and f-stop 3.5. let me know if you have any suggestions on anything i might be doing incorrectly.
