Learn a few helpful tips on capturing a time lapse in this video tutorial.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Cover image courtesy of the author.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Shooting time-lapse videos\u00a0is <strong>fun, informative, and easy to learn<\/strong>. The trick is to be in a place where nature is on full display. It might take a few tries to capture exactly what you have envisioned, but the effort will be worth it if that elusive blast of light and color occurs during your shot. Like many <strong>photographic and filmmaking pursuits<\/strong>, the results can be hit or miss, so it&#8217;s important to set up your shoot to improve your chances.<\/p>\n<p>Check out\u00a0the video, and think of <strong>creative ways to capture time lapse action<\/strong> that can advance your story visually <em>and<\/em> dramatically.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J8oGyBScL-0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tips-and-tricks-for-shooting-time-lapse-videos\">Tips and Tricks for Shooting Time Lapse Videos<\/h3>\n<p>This video tutorial\u00a0reveals some of the basic steps I use to get time lapse shots. Filmmakers have been <strong>manipulating screen time<\/strong> since the earliest days\u00a0\u2014\u00a0mostly by slowing down events. This video features a few\u00a0examples: \u201cbullet time\u201d and 720fps to contrast with the ultra slow exposure times of <strong>time lapses<\/strong>. We have lots of tools at our disposal, and speeding things up can be as dramatic as slowing things down. Think of the amazing knowledge scientists have have gained through time lapse photography.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a<strong> universal tool and technique<\/strong> that I think every videographer should have some experience with.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly,<strong> in my entire career I have only photographed one time lapse shot for a montage in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0377109\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><em>The Ring II<\/em><\/a>,<\/strong> and it didn\u2019t make the cut. It was a cool shot, but you won\u2019t see too many of <strong>these shots in feature films<\/strong> because they are not the norm. They&#8217;re somewhat abstract, and they&#8217;re difficult to blend in with the <strong>visual style or \u201clook\u201d of a film<\/strong>. That is unless it\u2019s a device that advances the story through each act of the film. Honestly, I can\u2019t think of one mainstream narrative film that relied on the technique to that extent.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-set-your-camera-settings-in-time-lapse-mode-or-connect-an-intervalometer\">1.
