• Plan Your Shot
• Instead of shooting continuous video, youll
  capture a series of still photographs that will
  later be turned into video frames. Its the
  subtle differences between these frames that
  bring life to the final motion.
• Now, in planning your shot, consider the effect
  you want to achieve. Do you envision clouds
  gracefully drifting across the afternoon sky or
  car lights painting motion-blurred red and white
  streaks at night?
• Take into account the camera angle as well. If
  there will be pedestrians or traffic in the
  scene, ensure they wont obstruct your shot.
• Keep in mind that time lapse shots featuring
  people tend to have frenetic motion. Depending on
  the interval settings, individuals may appear to
  walk briskly or blur into motion. Carefully
  selecting the right settings will help you
  achieve the desired effect for your unique time
  lapse creation.

• Use Proper Camera
• Youll find a wide range of ideal timelpase
  cameras that can capture high-quality video, and
  some even come with built-in time lapse
  functionality. 
• If you own a professional camera you can
  effortlessly set up a time lapse recording just
  at a click of a shutter and let it work its
  magic. The camera will snap pictures at the
  preset interval, making your job a breeze. Once
  shooting is complete, it will seamlessly convert
  the images into a video file. 
• However, if your camera lacks this functionality,
  dont worry! There are devices available that can
  be plugged into your camera to control the
  interval and picture snapping, making time lapse
  possible. Additionally, you can explore software
  options that efficiently convert your photos into
  mesmerising time lapse videos. 
• With a little help from these tools, you can
  enjoy the art of time lapse regardless of your
  cameras built-in features.

• Film in 4K
• The beauty of shooting in 4K isnt just about
  image quality its all about the extra size it
  offers. When editing a 1080p video, having 4K
  footage means you have twice the size you
  actually need. This surplus size allows you to
  add engaging motion to your shots, like gradual
  zooming in or out, or smooth panning across the
  scene.
• With 4K, you gain immense flexibility during the
  editing process, enabling you to craft visually
  stunning and dynamic videos with ease. Embrace
  the advantages of shooting in 4K and elevate your
  editing game to a whole new level!

• Play With Manual Settings
• Seasoned photo and videographers hardly rely on
  auto focus or auto exposure. And when it comes to
  time lapse video, manual settings become
  extremely critical.
• As time progresses and lighting conditions shift,
  your camera wont adjust settings consistently,
  resulting in variations in focus and exposure
  across the photos. This inconsistency can lead to
  an undesirable flickering effect in your time
  lapse.
• When shooting time lapse video during nighttime,
  longer exposure settings can yield fascinating
  blur and lighting effects. However, keep in mind
  that the exposure duration mustnt exceed the
  time lapse interval, ensuring the perfect balance
  between creative visuals and a well-crafted time
  lapse. Stay in control with manual settings and
  unlock the true potential of your time lapse
  videos!

• Use Solid Tripod
• Mastering timelapse photography requires the
  camera to stay perfectly still for extended
  periods, often for hours on end. The key to
  achieving this stability is by using a reliable
  tripod.
• Even with a tripod, utmost caution is necessary
  not to touch the camera during the time lapse.
  Any minute movement or pan can leave noticeable
  traces in the footage, compromising the overall
  quality of your creation. Embrace the tripods
  steadiness and exercise precision to capture
  stunning time lapse sequences without any
  unwanted disturbances.

• You Need a Good Battery
• One of the more infuriating experiences for
  filmmakers is technical issues while capturing
  the perfect shot. Imagine shooting a time lapse
  sunset and just as the sunset reaches its most
  breathtaking moment, your cameras battery light
  starts blinking, on the verge of shutting down
  before the sun completely disappears.
• Thats why its crucial to always be prepared and
  have spare batteries on hand to capture those
  spectacular moments without any interruptions!

11

• Set Proper Interval
• The interval you set between shots determines the
  motion speed in your final time lapse video.
  However, theres no one-size-fits-all approach.
• For instance, on a windy day when clouds move
  quickly, a one-shot-per-second interval may be
  suitable. On the contrary, on a calm day with
  still clouds, you might opt for one shot every 10
  seconds. When capturing the suns motion or
  shifting shadows, youll need an even longer
  interval, like one shot every 30 seconds.
• Pro tip Opt for shorter intervals whenever
  possible. You can always speed up the time lapse
  footage during post-processing, but slowing it
  down will create a jerky appearance. Choose your
  intervals wisely to achieve a smooth and
  captivating time lapse experience!

12

• Use ND Filter
• When shooting the sun, its essential to avoid
  overexposure in your shot. While you can make
  adjustments to the aperture and ISO settings,
  sometimes it may not suffice.
• An ND filter or variable ND filter offers a
  valuable solution to block out excessive light
  effectively. These filters come in handy,
  particularly when you aim to fine-tune the depth
  of field and create a pleasing background blur in
  your shots. Embrace the versatility of ND filters
  to achieve beautifully balanced and visually
  stunning sunlit scenes.

• It Takes Time
• Preparing for a time lapse shoot requires
  patience as the shooting duration can vary
  significantly based on interval settings.
  Depending on your preferences, a time lapse video
  can take several minutes or even a couple of
  hours to complete. Be ready to wait! 
• For instance, a ten-second time lapse at 24
  frames per second requires 240 shots. If you opt
  for a 3-second interval, itll take a mere 12
  minutes. However, a 10-second interval stretches
  the duration to 40 minutes, a 30-second one to 2
  hours and so on.
• Since you probably wouldnt leave an expensive
  camera unattended, ensure youre well-prepared
  for the wait. Bring a comfortable chair, a good
  book, video games on your phone, and plenty of
  water to stay refreshed during the shooting
  process. Embrace the wait with the right mindset
  and enjoy the creative journey of crafting your
  mesmerising time lapse video!

  1 frame every 10 minutes.

  you want the camera to capture these individual

  extend it to several hours, its all up to your
  creative vision.
