Many people say that ones work is only as good as the last thing they did and I completely agree with this statement. Unmotivated actions not only lead to lack-luster shots, but they also show a person’s true colours.
Motivation is the key to any act one takes. Why do you want the shot to be a timelapse? If you are wanting to capture a smoother shot and help the viewer feel relaxed, you will probably want to have a slow shutter (1/30 or slower). If you are wanting to capture an erratic motion and make the viewer feel uneasy, you will more than likely want to have a quick shutter (between 1/50 – 1/100 and an interval of 4 or more seconds). Now if you are asking yourself, what will this help you determine? Most directly, it will effect your interval and shutter time. When you know the role that the shot will play, you will be able to determine how you will need to capture the shot. When setting up your shot, you will need to think of how the shot will help you tell your story. What role is the shot playing in your final piece?īefore choosing to shoot a timelapse you should determine the role the timelapse will play in your final film. The mood / tone / pacing of a piece is determined by a number of factors. Take notes of things that would make the process easier for you in the future. For your story, does it make more sense for the shot to be captured at night, during the day or a blend between the two? This will help you determine what type of gear you will need to take with you. Another good habit to get into is fine-tuning your kit to your specific needs. You will then want to figure out when the best time is to capture the shot.

If you are unsure how to approach this, make sure to check out the tutorial I did on Story, Scheduling & Scouting where you can find out what aspects you will need to consider about your subject matter and location. This question is the foundation for all answers to follow so make sure you have scouted the location you want to shoot or have a clear idea of all the elements that exist in that environment. The first thing you need to determine is what you want to shoot.
In these questions, I have outlined what you will need to consider. To best understand what APERTURE should be, what your SHUTTER should be set at and what INTERVAL (DELAY) you should be using, you will want to have a clear answer to the questions stated below. Getting Startedīefore delving into the section below, I highly recommend checking out the quick start guide that breaks down how to control your camera and setup your shot.
