Do you mind sharing the basics of your workflow? What works best for you? I only saw one tracking shot iirc, was that done in software, or did you use a slider/dolly? Lastly, do you have any experience with getting rid of flicker? I shoot full manual in my time lapses, but still get a few exposure jumps.
Anyway, great stuff, thanks for sharing! I think I may copy you in the near future with some BOC-lapses myself. (It's the biggest form of flattery)
Hi Zeitgeist.
LRTimelapse is a awesome tool to fix flicker. It is free, you can get it here
http://lrtimelapse.com/
There is great workflow movies on the webpage for how to use it.
My workflow:
Always use manual mode and shoot in raw.
Import the images to LightRoom.
Edit the first image to my likings and sync settings to all images.
Save metadata to files.
Open files in LRTimelapse and do the necessary adjustments for deflicker.
Save metadata in LRTimelapse.
Go back to LightRoom and read metadata.
Export images.
Then i load the exported jpegs into Quicktimepro as image sequence.
Export movie using Photo - JPEG settings at max quality.
Next, when i have enough clips to make the video i use After Effects.
I didnt use a dolly, i wish i had one though. Currently saving up for one.
The panning was done in LRTimelapse.
I hope this was any help for you.
