Canon T2i - Magic Lantern - Time Lapse

[cnhsmcl]

wow that is cool!

[santygugu]

I encounter a problem, if I shot many pictures in a time of 4 hours for example would I would last the battery charge? if I change the battery could move the camera ...

[santygugu]

a question, how much did you give him time interval between shots? thanks

[GanEdenVideo]

what time settings were used?

[zstamey84]

@GanEdenVideo I honestly don't remember, I'm sorry. It has been a while and it was my first attempt with time lapse on my T2i. I didn't get it exactly right either but it worked out. I've learned that it all depends on what you are trying to capture and that using filters or turning your f-stop to like 20 or something and then dragging your shutter to a slower speed definitely helps. It keeps things from being so rigid and really helps add motion blur that you would see when shooting video.

@GanEdenVideo wish I could be of more help

Did you used the "Silent Picture" Function?

[SamjTeleVision]

This is great! I plan on doing stuff like this with my friend soon. However, a tip in the future I personally would have done maybe 1 pic every 5 seconds and also I would have turned on the frame blending feature. Great vid though!

[Brennens3D]

wow that's awesome!

[Shilltacular]

amazing :)

[alexarrigoni]

Great job!

If you've got a heavy ND or VariND filter, try and respect the 180 rule and get frame exposures closer to half the interval time. This would make the clouds move more smoothly.

[LongshotGaming]

what does the magic latern even do? im confused on that :/

[zstamey84]

@LongshotGaming Magic Lantern is software that is added to the camera. It has a lot of functions but specifically for this video I used the intervalometer feature to shoot time lapse photos without the need of additional hardware or controls. Then I just dropped all the photos into the timeline in Sony Vegas and rendered it out as video. Hope that helps. Just google Magic Lantern Firmware for more info.

@zstamey84 thank you!

[lifeartpixels]

@zstamey84 how did you do the pan? you got motorized head your tripod or is it done with digital zoom in the editing?

[EPICproductionsFTW]

@zstamey84 why didn't you just shoot a video instead of making pictureS?

[BRIGHTNIGHTONLINE]

This is so cool man! I've recently bought a 550d and all I keep hearing about is Magic Lantern, I didn't realise it did time lapsing to!

[zstamey84]

@BRIGHTNIGHTONLINE yeah Magic Lantern is awesome!

[rastablader]

Love the video. But I was wondering how you make the camera slowly tilt upwards throughout the video?

[zstamey84]

@rastablader Thanks! The camera isn't actually tilting upwards. I did that in post by zooming in the picture for a tighter crop then I had the video slowly move up to get that effect.

[rastablader]

@zstamey84 Ahh! Makes sense. Thanks! :)

[lifeartpixels]

@zstamey84 i just read this :)

[rezjrprod]

[zstamey84]

[MrSonam83]

Beautiful!



[zstamey84]

@MrSonam83 Thanks, it was a beautiful day!

[CDaveHarvey]

Nice time lapse 

[zstamey84]

@CDaveHarvey Thanks, it was pretty simple with the magic lantern software

[cokeakohla]

how did you shoot this if the average time limit on a t2i is about 12 minutes?

[AndyFilmsAlot]

@cokeakohla With magic lantern there is a setting for timelapsing that takes a picture every 10 seconds or every 5 or every whatever. it just takes a bunch of pictures then in your editing system you put them all in the correct order and make a timelapse with them.

[dickdog75]

very cool colors! i dig the video

[england2345able]

i liked this timelapse cool, what software did you use to put the images together?? did you shoot raw or jpeg??

thanks

[xexodusx]

I was going to try this today but I didn't see a single cloud in sight ; )

[Parrott65]

Is the timelapse option in Magic Lantern or the standard option for the T2i?
