Share Your Videos / please do panic. (timelapse)

« on: October 20, 2014, 10:11:58 AM »

Thanks to ML, recording timelapse video got easier than ever. The sequences in this video were recorded with FPS override and exposure override on a 50D.

I got a bit bored with the many timelapse videos with meditation-like sequences, smooth movements, and ethereal soundtracks, so I made this one about the more hectic times in life. I used  randomly recorded footage from the last 2 years (mostly in and around Wismar, Germany), listening to the soundtrack again and again until I found the right images for each part. I guess that makes it some kind of improvised music video.

Please watch with caution if you are prone to epileptic seizures or panic attacks. Probably not dangerous, but it's got a few hectic moments.

Share Your Photos / At the harbour (IR panorama)

This one doesn't use ML features directly, but it was made a lot easier with ML's help. Shooting IR panoramas can be a bit tricky when you see almost nothing through the viewfinder, but with FPS override and high gain, I could expose very precisely and also align the images without too much estimating.

Share Your Videos / IR timelapse test

« on: September 16, 2013, 05:32:57 PM »

Hey there... wanted to post my first video here. This is just a small snippet to show another awesome possibility with ML - no artistic notions intended.

This was made with a 50D and IR720 filter at 1FPS. There was no postprocessing except a bit of sharpening and contrast. The colors are straight out of the camera, thanks to UV-swap and carefully set white balance.

As I said, this is just the first test... I'll try my luck at a few longer sequences soon.
