This Canon 60d Test Is An Awesome Time Lapse, From My New Zombie Movie, Shot On The 60d The Approaching Apocalypse
This test was done on the 60d. Observe how this time lapse naturally becomes darker and darker, the darkness engulfing the venerable houses. I was not really doing a Canon 60d test here, I was shooting some footage for my new zombie movie, on the 60d.
As I just got the intervalometer to create the time lapse, lets call it a Canon 60d test, because any time lapse is like a test. Why? You never know what you are going to get. That’s the fun of it. You can plan it, but the end result always surprises me.
The theme of this Canon 60d test is the approaching apocalypse, evil dark clouds swallowing the landscape. It won’t take long until the Zombies will infest the streets and alleyways.
You will be watching raw footage. This footage came straight out of the camera. There are no fades, filters, or effects. I learned how to do it thirty years ago even before my video days, when I shot film. In a lot of cases footage just looks better this way rather than putting the it through effects generators. Old school is sometimes the best school. What can be done in camera, really should be done in camera if at all possible. In this Canon 60d test, it took three storms to create this short footage. Time lapse of this nature takes a lot of patience. All it really took was getting the right manual aperture to achieve the evil atmosphere.
YouTube is great but its not full HD, and very compressed so the quality is way below the original footage. The finished project will look great on the biggest screen, I guarantee that. Another thing to mention is the time lapse flicker. And that’s why I say creating a time lapse is like a Canon 60d test. Sometimes you get flicker, sometimes you don't. But one way of reducing the annoying flicker is to use one exposure for every one second interval, this will give you the smoothest look.
The fact that light is actually changing every second, but our eyes can not perceive these changes, when the camera can, this is one factor, but I think it has something to do with the camera too. This Canon 60d test is not bad but you will see the compression in the blacks. Later, in the fished project, I would match the colors, contrast, and brightness, and crush the blacks, but you get the idea. Learn more about Time lapse and the Canon 60d intervalometer here.
