A short time lapse movie videos online following film was commissioned by
vienna-podcast.com and
produced Viennese shopping streets .
The idea for the little promotional film for the Gumpendorferstraße sounded, in motion, the camera moves from the metro station "Gumpendorferstraße" continue, turn into the Gumpendorferstraße and remains always in places that striking or particularly are.
The whole movie should take place without visible cut.
my first thoughts turn to the Canon 7D on everything from the hand I quickly rejected, because I always stand as a background for text overlay time-lapse sequences required. So I bought the hardware store a small cart, where I could mount the camera on a pole with a tripod head.
shooting: really should in the first picture the sun in motion throughout the conference, in the foreground, the U-Bahn sign Gumpendorferstraße. Then the camera should start moving and start its run in the Gumpendorferstraße.
But without Drehgenemigung running at times of public transport now nothing. Sun reached me about half an hour after turning on the photo-camera two nice keepers of order, telling me that I the field had to evacuate. To get the opportunity for an invisible cut to Gumpendorferstraße, I now had to somehow stalling for time and continue to roll my cart very slowly, piece by piece, about 6 meters ... that meant to discuss the police come ... not only with the two police officers inside the ground but also by telephone at the control center in Erdberg that I was able to follow clearly appeared on their monitor.
When notified, the police were on the road, I was just cut in a safe position and was moving fast now in a safe hiding place.
During the day, I noticed with increasing knee pain by constant camera news, that one day of filming for the project are yet to be assessed and examined closely hence starting points where I could later put invisible cuts. In the end it was 3 days with about 10,000 photos.
something technical: I had to go through the changing light levels between inside and outside, day and night change between pictures often the aperture. Since this is achieved with the lens iris is relatively coarse, I used a great invention;
The ND-fader Filter "
Light craft workshop " (LCW) is composed of two polarized gray lenses, the top is rotated. This can the light reduction 2-8 aperture adjust very fine. In order to obtain
enough room in the color correction are all the photos in RAW format has been made. Because After Effects does not work directly with this format, I had to before the start of cutting the individual sequences of Adobe's Camera Raw to convert many more times with different color settings into the TIFF format can they fade as at the transitions from daylight to artificial light situations with each other.
before assembling the film then often forming stabilizing measures, artificial slow motion or the installation of motion blur was necessary to make the movie half-way around running. The cost the computer a lot and annoy me most was a long time.
is now the little movie and viewable by clicking the picture below.
Have fun looking.
