Time Lapse Photography

There are two amazing and inspiring time lapse videos by Rufus Blackwell at TimeLapseVFX! In these videos, the camera pans smoothly through some beautiful sequences. The music is well-suited to the video and adds to the inspiration.

Here are two more ideas for using a digital camera to create a time lapse series of photos. Both of these time lapse series can be set up at home and done inside during a cold or snowy day.



Note that in the time lapse video below, the artist moves back and forth between tight and medium shots several times. Sometimes we see his lighting set up and the still life he has set up and is painting from, and other times we move in close to focus on his canvas and his hands at work.
