Final Piece - Motion Time lapse
To create this time-lapse I used a sturdy tripod were I made sure that the legs and positioning of the camera was all locked into place after I had lined the shot that I wanted up with the camera. I used an Intervalometer or timer remote controller that simply plugs into your camera, I set the settings to end up taking a shot every 6 seconds after each exposure had completed as each shot was exposed for 4 seconds each so that it showed the lights of the vehicles more as lines from where the start of the exposure was to the end of the end of were the exposure was. I did this so that it showed more movement in the video instead of cars suddenly disappearing which then seems as though the cars were stationary. Were as with the shutter being at a 4 second exposure it created the lines of the lights showing the path of the vehicles that generated the lines with its lights.
After I had taken the Images, I imported the images as a sequence into a new Sony Vegas project making sure that the frame rate was set as 24 frames per second or fps which is typically a frame rate used in the film industry. Making sure that the frame rate was set correctly I then moved the sequence of images onto the time line. Then I cropped the image sequence to the correct aspect ratio as the images are 6000 pixels by 4000 pixels which is a ratio of 3:2 were as normally monitors and video is now at a ratio of 16:9, so I cropped the image sequence to fit in the correct ratio so that it filled the video from corner to corner. Once I had done that I created a movement of the footage were it slowly pans from half way to the bottom of the images so that it used more of the image space instead of discarding the cropped out parts of the image. After I had got the movement the way I wanted it was ready to export and render.
Very smooth and professional. How did you do it?
