[ Homeland ] - with my DIY motion-dolly , Hong Kong

This is my little dream to make a timelapse short clip which is about my city -- Hong Kong .
The whole project lasted around half a year .
At the first step , I found that motion-dolly sells online are quite expensive .
So I started to do researches / build up parts for the 2-axials motion dolly /
assemble them onto the slider / adjust a better accuracy .
It's some kinda troublesome jobs .

But no wonder , the longest part of the project must be taking out those gears ,
sight seeing , setting up the GH2 and waiting for the shots at different spots .

It's a bit hard . But I'd really enjoyed .
Hope you can share me 5mins to share my little dream .


Songs : Radical Face - Welcome Home
Camera : GH2
Lens : Panasonic 14140mm + 25mmF1.4
Pics : Around 30,000 pictures .

Hong Kong became like a second home for me while I was there. I probably watch this every other day and still tear up a bit with how much I miss the world's greatest city.

Makes me want to go back and visit again. Beautiful video! Kung Hei Fat Choi!

What kind of motion dolly did you end up using? Did you make it? I want to start making time lapse movies and the motion of the camera that you used seems very important to the look. I don't want to spend a lot of money, it's just for fun.

What kind of post process software did you use?

Again, very beautiful movie!
