HDR Sunset Timelapse

[dmilligan]

I shot this with an 1100D, which unfortunately doesn't have AutoETTR working, so I used Av mode in the camera, with max ISO 400. Each frame is a 2 shot bracket: -1 EV and +3 EV. I merged the frames with a photoshop script I wrote (find it here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7682.0) into 32bit TIFF files.

Then I toned with ACR in Bridge and used another script I wrote to deflicker (here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8850.0).

ACR Settings:
Highlights: -80
Shadows: +80
Clarity: +30
Saturation: +30

I was going to pull the TIFFs directly into AE, but AE didn't apply the ACR settings from Br. I realized that Br didn't create xmp sidecars, I guess it was storing ACR metadata directly in the TIFFs, so I just exported to JPEG from Br, then into AE, then dynamic link to Pr. Total processing time was probably 5-6 hours.

This is my alma mater, it's our first season to have a football team in more than 70 years. That's me on the keys playing our fight song.
