Amazing Time Lapse Photography – Tutorial

Tiffany M. created this brief article that we thought was worth sharing.  If you have a moment, watch the videos below for some truly impressive cityscape time lapse photography.

City skylines have long been an interest of photographers and videographers alike.  Dominic Boudreault is no exception.  The Quebec based photographer compiled a dramatic time lapse using hundreds of thousands of individual photos he captured in cities ranging from Chicago to New York to Quebec.

Take a moment and enjoy:

Beginning work in 2010, Boudreault set up his Canon 5D Mark II along with a Canon 14mm 2.8, 24mm 1.4, 135mm 2.0, 70-200mm 2.8 IS, and a Gitzo tripod in the various locations over the span of a year. The thousands of images that went into the video were initially edited in Adobe Camera Raw, then imported into Adobe After Effects and Apple Final Cut Pro, respectively, for the finishing touches.

When City Limits captured over one million views in a week, media giants MSNBC caught wind of it, they contacted Boudreault to do an interview and discuss what went into making the 3 1/2 minute film.

 

The interview uncovered not only key insights into how to produce  the film but also reveals the success story of an amateur photographer who was able to make it as a pro. Boudreault, a former web designer for Quebec National Parks, highlights some key details when making a timelapse which include knowing your equipment and what kind of photographs it is capable of taking, investing in a tripod, and using an intervolemeter to ease the long process of gathering so many photographs.
