![]() ![]() Some of the sequence had to be taken 3 or 4 times until getting the perfect shot. I then speed it up in post.įor the story, it is the second attempts because I failed the first one a few days before (I couldn't stabilize it perfectly because I failed to properly align a few pic during the capture). This sequence is the longest hyperlapse of the video and it took me about 2-3 hours to shoot moving over a distance of 200-300 meters (600-1000 feet). The capture phase is everything and you must be very very accurate (and fast.) otherwise you won't be able to fix it in post. However there is only so much the post-stab can do and a misalignment of a few degrees during the capture lead to an impossible sequence to fix. Then I use the tracker in AE to stabilize everything frame by frame as seen in the youtube link above. I manually move the tripod between each shot and them re-aim at my target (corner of the building) as precisely as I can. I aimed at the building corner and move about 15 cm / 6 inches between each shot. The sequence at 0:25-0:30 was a hyperlapse shot taken with a Canon 6D, Sigma 24 f1.4 Art and a tripod. Pardon my ignorance, but how do you get such long / rotating shots (there are tons of them in your video, but just to choose two examples, 0:25 and 0:30). Great video, some really impressive hyperlapses, and the drone shots were awesome. It would be hard to detail the list of all the people involved in this video but here are the main one who inspired or helped me to make this project: Artem Pryadko / Zweizwei, Aaron Priest, Dimid, Gunther creator of LRTimelapse, Jeff Colhoun, Jay Burlage & Dynamic Perception, Marco from Timelapse Network, Team BlackSheep, Aufmschlau, b-zOOmi, Keith Loutit, Dustin Farrell, Rob Whitworth, Dominic Boudreault, Michelle, Guille, Mariana, etc.į/Oliver-KMIA-1622032868057530 ► Music: Daft Punk - Derezzed (The Glitch Mob Remix) Last, I had to notify the airport manager in some places before my flights and I stayed away from Class B airspace of Miami (I couldn't get clearance despite my request). I follow a precise scouting of the place before each flight and perform a thorough checklist.Īnd because shit happens, I also installed a Mars Lite parachute with a North UAV Mayday board (special thanks to Kyle) on the Phantom in order to prevent any damage/injury is something goes wrong. For the remaining 10%, I flew over parks and empty area with the Phantom. 90% of the drone flight occurred over the water even if it's not visible because of the framing. In terms of safety, the drone shots were line of sight only and below 400 feet following the AMA & FAA guidlines. Some shots were taken from airplane (C-172) and I also rented a Helicopter (Bell-206). I modded the lens in order to get a longer focal. ![]() I used a DJI Phantom 3 Pro for the aerial shots along with a TBS Discovery Pro fitted with a GoPro 4 black. This video is already long with its 4 minutes duration. I prefer to squeeze the best out of my project and not fall into the trap of "clips stacking" for the sake of it. I also have a lot of unused sequence that I shot but didn't make it to the final video. When I started hyperlapse I had to discard 80% of my sequence, now I can keep 70-80% of my clips. What I can tell is that I finally achieved a good ratio of shooting attempts / keeper sequence. The number of shots and TB of hard drive is not a good metric and does not give any indication regarding the quality of the final video. Honestly I have no idea of the number of pictures taken and I find this point completely irrelevant. Panasonic GH4, Lumix 12-35 f/2.8, Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 and custom made gimbal (Alexmos) Dynamic Perception Stage One & Stage R with NMX controller TBS Discovery Pro with custom GoPro 4 lens ![]() DJI Phantom 3 Pro with Mars Lite & Mayday Board I failed many times during my learning process but I now master the most complex type of sequence such as HDR Hyperlapse of Holy Grail Hyperlapse. I had a massive volume of video and photo (RAW of course) and I only used the tip of the iceberg. The video is 75% hyperlapse, 5% timelapse and 20% drone and aerial (rented plane and helicopter). In average, one second of video takes 1 or 2 hours of work and I don't even count the failed attempts (either I fucked up, light was wrong or something/someone messed with my sequence on site). It took me a while to capture the hyperlapse sequence correctly (must be very very accurate) and then do the post-stabiliation frame by frame. My first attempts were very bad and most sequence went to the trash bin. I started this project 2 years ago with hyperlapse experimentation. Unlike cities such as New York, Paris or Dubai, no one ever did a real hyperlapse video of Miami so I had to fix this. ![]()
