Timelapses aren’t just for moving clouds and the northern lights (but they sure are pretty) but in fact their use for studying earth sciences is becoming a key part in learning more about our landscape and using the images to educate and inform the masses. I interviewed Forrest Pound of San Francisco based Kontent Films, who was tasked with building custom timelapse rigs to document parts of the Colorado River. He has shared this DIY project step by step, so read on to learn more.

Timelapses have really come a long way in the last few years, especially since the advent of motion-control devices to create fluid movement while capturing multiple stills. One result of this boom in timelapse work is the scientific information discovered through studying geographic phenomena, and how it changes over time. If you haven’t seen the movie Chasing Ice, stop what you’re doing and watch the trailer. Fstoppers: Had you built or worked with long-term TL systems before?

How To Convert A Time-lapse Intervalometer To A Slider Controller.

Andy Pearson wanted to introduce some sliding motion into his Parkour time-lapse footage with Parkour Generations. He already had a Varavon slider and only needed a way to consistently and remotely move the camera on the slider. (So the drill trick ain’t gonna work). Andy took a different direction, using the output of an intervalometer to control the starting and stopping of the slider. While the video quality is not all that great, it packs a huge amount of info on building this type of motion control. Andy was kind enough to allow us to place the video and tutorial on DIYP. First to understand the motivation for this, here is sample footage using the hack for a quick time lapse. And here are the build instructions: The Servo system First, thanks goes out to Jason Werowinski and his video for pointing me the right direction.

The Intervalometer Delay and Trigger A lot of help and information came from this webpage. So. The + and – wires of the controller to servo just run as normal.

Time-lapse helps us understand the world by visually showing changes that we cannot normally perceive. The human visual system is designed to detect change. How Time-lapse Works We will use the term "movies" (things that move) to refer to both film and video. Time-lapse movies are created by recording frames more slowly. Consider a movie in the cinema which is normally recorded at 24 frames per second. One hour of recording would play back in (60/24 = ) 2.5 minutes. Some tips on creating Time-lapse Video There are many considerations when creating a time-lapse movie.
