White Night Melbourne - Timelapses and Street

Ok, this is kind of out of place, but there isnt really anywhere else to do it.

Week 6: White Night Timelapses

I moved it cause the CC forums are for posting photos taken by members for critique

[takai]

And this is a series of photos taken and posted for C&C. More precisely about 1300 individual photos then composited to make the video

The thread was specifically posted there as it is photos for critique.

Seems like photos to me. Good job on the editing. Lots of work there. Many people try time lapse but few understand that the job is much bigger than just taking pictures. You fitted the video to the music well, but perhaps a stronger story would have been good. Was the video planned before taking?

[takai]

Yeah, no real story to be told. This was more of an experimental session playing with the linear dolly, and the White Night festival was a good excuse for it.

Editing was short and simple, i gave myself a 15minute timeframe to cut it together and ended up taking 18min to edit it. Infact it took longer to upload it to youtube than to edit the entire video. Good practice for quick editing though, i commonly labour over videos getting them frame perfect, this isnt quite, but is 99% of the way there for 1% of the time cost.

I have a few planned ones coming up, but wanted to get used to how the dolly was working first.

Thanks for the C&C

[Steve Axford]

Very well done for 18mins.

But you cannot expect members to critique 1300 photos?

You posted another thread with photos for members to provide critique on : http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?117385-White-Night-Melbourne-Street-and-more

AND I had to go back to August last year (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?108761-Snapper-Rocks) to find a single post by you, where you provided another member with some critique/advice. Every post since then has been your own threads. If you want critique, perhaps GIVE some to others as well.

I agree with Rick.

It just isn't the usual thing that people would put in the CC section of the forums.. But it would have helped a bit if you would've put a comment saying 'I would like some CC on this clip' or ask for people's opinions on it. As from what you wrote, it just sounds like you posted it in interest to show the members on here.

As for the video, seems well done to me, Has some cinematic components to it. overall i like it. Shows how people move around and interact.

I not sure why we can't crit 1300 photos. After all it takes less than 2mins to watch them. I do lots of time lapses now. I think some of these are worth sharing, and worth critiquing too. We have the ability to post videos (and time lapses by default), so why not critique them? Time lapse adds another dimension to still photos - literally, it adds the time dimension.
