Austin Time Lapse: "The Future, Wouldn't That Be Nice?"

This is the culmination of a year of work in my Independent Photography class. All scenes were shot in Austin, Texas (hence the title). The point was to make ordinary everyday events seem a little more special through some simple time lapse. Big thanks to Chris Caselli on the photography side for letting me do my own thing and also thanks to Troy Lanier on the editing side for schooling me in the ways of Final Cut Pro. Mathew Morriss too
Camera: Nikon D200
Music: "The Future, Wouldn't That Be Nice" by The Books

Hi just watched your video and I liked it very much. if you don't mind but I have some questions for you. I use a canon rebel xti can you tell me what setting I can use and what program do you use to make the movie flow so well. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

honestly, i'm not familiar at all with canon products. i would recommend searching for an external timer made by canon for the actual shots. the reason that the movie flows is because it's running at 30 frames per second. over 5000 pictures for the 3 minute vid. The photos were put into Final Cut Pro which is how i achieved the ideal 30 fps. hope this helps! let me know if you have anymore questions. good luck!

Wonderful work!! Very cool to see someone already do austin timelapses! I am about to get a canon g3 in use with a program called GBT timelapse as well as shooting with a high end video camera and comapre each shoot! Id love to see your bounce the sun! Your shots are great and will try not to copy angles!!:) I might bother you for tips also as im just a video nut and timelapse photography is all new. Hope to see more!

that would be awesome to compare the canon and the film camera. feel free to ask any questions, i must admit there was a bit of a learning curve at the beginning (focus problems, battery life, aperture settings) so feel free to ask any questions!
