    Tip: Draw your floor markers on a mat that you can roll up and bring to your location. It will save you from drawing new ones every time. Then, when you have finished taking your photos, roll the mat up and you can use it again at another location!

      You don't need the chalk at all. Its not important to accurately space your shots out. and you dont need the tripod either. These guys definitely dont know what they are doing

    With a tripod, some chalk, and time, you too can hyperlapse!

      Thanks for the videos.. they help a lot. I have one question when you produce a film how do you get the budget to produce it?
      And how do you make a scene look more cinematic/ proffesional.

    ***Place your foot on one side of the tripod and move the leg of the tripod from one side of your foot to the other. It saves you the time of having to mark your points with chalk, and it is always the same interval (3-4 inches). You can also alter your path on the fly.

  • @majedphotos

    this is really great video and hope to know what is next if i did a shot for a building like what u did then how to smoothly i shift to the next scene ?

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yeah, I know I'm pronouncing it the (incorrect) American way. Like you say, I hear it's actually three distinct syllables. And it's also spelled "Sriraja," which ends not with a "cha" sound like we pronounce it, but "See-Ra-Sha" like you said. Thanks!

  • @Simawwn
    @Simawwn 11 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    It's better to go full manual to avoid flickering.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If your camera can't shoot photos, you can always capture video, and pull out still frames from each movement. (I did that in this Halloween video: /watch?v=IElak0nYEnU I found it was easier to move the jack-o-lantern while letting the video roll. I had way more frames than I needed, but it was quicker in that case to let the video roll.)

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually, it's because I locked my white balance that you see that color shift. Clouds eclipsed the sun near the end of the shot, changing the color temperature, and because I was in shutter priority mode, the exposure compensated. Sometimes that's desirable, sometimes not. I could've shot in manual mode, to let the image darken when the clouds passed over.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You mean a teleprompter? I built a DIY one-and made an episode about it-but I don't use it for the show. I find I look more natural on camera when I memorize a few lines at a time, and break it up with cuts to b-roll. Although you can see at 8:08 how it's hard for me to get through too many sentences at once!

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used the default settings. I'd expect a setting to turn off rotate, but even if there isn't, if it's only a few frames, you could manually layer those frames on top of the stabilized sequence, and adjust them into the preferred position.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Exactly. It's about adding dolly-like movement to a timelapse, that would otherwise require a motion-control system. I've seen some that move hundreds of feet, which is a cool effect, and impossible to do on a dolly.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    No different, but the beauty of time lapse is that you can also do this without laying all that dolly track. (Perfect for destination shoots, when you can't travel with a dolly.)

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, good point! Doesn't have to be tripod movement. Could be slow zooming, tilting, and/or panning. As long as you have a way to measure the movements for consistency.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't, but I've heard that's how David Tran enjoys Sriracha most. We'll see what access, if any, Huy Fong provides. But yes, of course I'd love to speak with them.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It wasn't me that bought one, but yeah, those would be handy for product shots. Even a non-motorized lazy susan, perhaps with a string attached, could be useful.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Probably from the explosion of food reality television. So many chefs have mentioned it on TV in the last few years, now the public is catching up!

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I ran the first mile in 6:35, which is way too fast for me! Probably the fastest mile I've run in any race. Usually my race pace is around 7:40.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recommend you try it, but they're very different flavors. Less vinegary. More garlicky. You can taste the fresh jalepenos.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know! I live in the same town as the guy who stands to win $1,000,000 for suggesting that flavor to Lay's!

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I could find a good motion blur plug-in, perhaps. It's not necessary-depends on the look you're going for.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You notice that FCP's Stabilization worked somewhat. But it gets hung up if the image changes too much.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely. It'll be a wider angle effect, which will probably make the movement look even more epic.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you can't find Spider-man chalk, any Marvel-universe chalk will work! Iron Man, Wolverine...

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, I feel like this is the time to tell this story, before it's no longer interesting.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I kind of assume the stabilization is similar between FCPX and Motion, but perhaps not.

  • @DannyBlack
    @DannyBlack 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    great video! I'm looking for great FCPX warp stabilizer equivalent

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, that happens so often. I really don't want to miss festival deadlines this fall.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use the actual music, recognizing that the legal risk is relatively low, especially considering how small the audience for the wedding video is.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not sure I get that metadata in video files either. (For photos, yes, though.)

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    No, I can usually type a few lyrics into Google and figure out what the songs are.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Or, you could shoot RAW photos, in which you could adjust white balance later.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    David Tran is Vietnamese, but the sauce originates from Si Racha, Thailand.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't yet, but I'm meeting the guy who suggested that flavor to Lay's!

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for letting me know you've never heard of it. I'd love to do a poll and get a sense of how many people are familiar with it.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yep, that's my inspiration exactly. I want to show the people who love it where it comes from, how it's made, how big the culture is around it!

    Hey Griffin, I've just discovered this channel, watched hours of it last night! So I tried to do a hyperlapse but when bringing into fcp x couldn't stabilise anymore? i tried to make all the 1 frame photos into a compound clip, but the stabilise option still wasn't there. i then cracked out my old adobe CS5 (not CS6) and failed again, though of course it doesn't have warp time so I'm not surprised. how do i get it working smoother with my tcp x like you've managed? cheers

    make a cart with a geared motor wheel. then use videomode, maybe magic lantern with framerate override or other camera that can do low frame rate video. that way you can simulate long exposure frames even in bright light and have smooth movement.

  • @indymogul
    @indymogul  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    ***** (and anyone else wanting to calculate a specific shot). Take the planned end length of the video, so 5 seconds, multiply that by your frame rate, 25 / 24 fps to give you total number of photos to be taken. Then take the total distance you want the camera to move and divide it by the number of frames, this will give you the distance the camera needs to move for each photo. As Griffin says in the video, set the timelapse length between each shot according to how long it takes you to move and readjust the camera.

    I love Siracha. Quick recipe I came up with for lazy snacking: can of sweet peas, spoonful of mayo, squirt of Siracha (mayo and Sirach quantities to your taste). Mix it all up and have some starchy fatty yum yums. Even better when chilled.

  • @DIYSportsman
    @DIYSportsman 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Instead of the laser pointer, how about taping a string to the ground? That way you can always line up 2 tripod feet against the string as you move which should make consistent framing a bit easier? Great tutorial by the way!

  • @Phoenix-bi9bn
    @Phoenix-bi9bn 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can I ask, in the shot shown at 5.08 the background does some odd movement, like the distance from the trees and the brick seems to increase. I've seen this look on tv and films, where the camera zooms and the depth seems to get greater as it does. Is this an in-camera effect and do you have a video explaining how it works

  • @Simawwn
    @Simawwn 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    With a distance that short, you will have to be extremely precise when you move the camera and take stills. It's better to use a motorized dolly + intervalometer for very short distances.
