2010 OneRiver Media Timelapse Reel

What elegant transitions and exciting action you have achieved! You definitely have an eye for beauty and a graceful way of capturing it.

Hi Howard, I have to agree with you on Marcos timelaps, truly awesome..well shot, stunning cityscapes.. soundtrack too..! Im impressed Marco..regarding the footage, and your queries as to the frames per second, I may be able to give you a little advice on that matter, as I've done some of my own. The difference, however, was that I shot my footage on much lower resolution. That's not the only difference, I chose to shoot the footage at a higher frame rate than you would expect to see, 4 to 5 frames per second. The reason for being that they gave me the option, as it had so many frames to get to time rates from the same footage, by simply decimating the frame rate by two or even three frames in postproduction. Incidentally in case you're curious I use a very simple MPEG encoding program, well to be actually! For that particular purpose, try Virtual Dub, it's freeware, and has many features despite , one of them being frame rate decimation. That method also serves the purpose, at the other end of the scale as in if I want to have a really smooth and much slower timelapse period I have the frames to put get away with it the .

Fantastic! I'd love to try this myself, what type of camera do you use and what's the interval between shots on, say, the Bay Bridge traffic sequence?
