The impact of movement can be enhanced with time-lapse, in which clouds, traffic, construction or people move rapidly. The time-lapse sequence of images may be filmed over hours, days or months.
This is sometimes combined with tilt-shift (in which a narrow depth of field evokes a toy town) or hyperlapse (in which the camera also moves).
Solutions
Hyperlapse
A hyperlapse is a time lapse from a moving camera position.
The movement may include pan, tilt, elevation and/or zoom. By pre-programming a remotely piloted aircraft (camera ‘drone’), a specific aerial flightpath can be replicated over hours, day, months or years.
Sequences can be created from a series of images (taken at regular intervals), played in rapid succession as a video. These can be matched with computer graphics of a construction project to demonstrate an ‘extrusion’ of the building from its foundations!
Digital Tsunami produces hyperlapse sequences with music and captions to provide dramatic impact.
Time Lapse
Time lapse sequences are created by producing a series of images (taken at regular intervals), played in rapid succession as a video.
Stop-motion photography has conveyed movement since the days of the Zoëtrope and it’s predecessors.
The application can be to compress many years of a construction project into a few minutes or to show clouds and shadows crossing a landscape.
Digital Tsunami produces timelapse sequences of urban and rural environments.
