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!
Great idea!
Good tip, saves some time in the field.
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
Teach you as my friend and family enrriquesera who likes this
or just use a measuring tap
With a tripod, some chalk, and time, you too can hyperlapse!
Thanks, great video. A question though: how do you manage consistent rotation of the camera on the tripod?
Which DLSR do you use?

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.
I'm almost ready to go but where do I get Spiderman chalk?
need help with a camera? ask an asian
I don't think it would work for me because im a strict batman only chalk
gah i really want to try this but i'm having a super tough time finding Spider Man chalk :-(
I used 'My Little Pony' chalk and it worked just fine!
***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.
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 ?
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!
It's better to go full manual to avoid flickering.
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.)
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
I recommend you try it, but they're very different flavors. Less vinegary. More garlicky. You can taste the fresh jalepenos.
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!
If I could find a good motion blur plug-in, perhaps. It's not necessary-depends on the look you're going for.
You notice that FCP's Stabilization worked somewhat. But it gets hung up if the image changes too much.
Definitely. It'll be a wider angle effect, which will probably make the movement look even more epic.
If you can't find Spider-man chalk, any Marvel-universe chalk will work! Iron Man, Wolverine...
Yeah, I feel like this is the time to tell this story, before it's no longer interesting.
I kind of assume the stabilization is similar between FCPX and Motion, but perhaps not.
great video! I'm looking for great FCPX warp stabilizer equivalent
Yeah, that happens so often. I really don't want to miss festival deadlines this fall.
I use the actual music, recognizing that the legal risk is relatively low, especially considering how small the audience for the wedding video is.
I'm not sure I get that metadata in video files either. (For photos, yes, though.)
No, I can usually type a few lyrics into Google and figure out what the songs are.
Or, you could shoot RAW photos, in which you could adjust white balance later.
David Tran is Vietnamese, but the sauce originates from Si Racha, Thailand.
I haven't yet, but I'm meeting the guy who suggested that flavor to Lay's!
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.
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
I look forward to seeing you at the next CMM* meeting!
*Champaignª Movie Makers
ªChampaign is a city in Central Illinois
Cause I love Google Hangouts! (Great for live broadcasts on TH-cam!)
Agreed. Who knows if I'll ever use it, but I love learning new tools!
Yeah, time lapse is all about the subject-and predicting the future, so you know what you'll capture.
You can check out the progress at facebook. com/SrirachaFilm
I think it's there and working in the description, isn't it?
Yeah, I'd definitely like to involve Matt Inman of The Oatmeal in this documentary.
Yeah, I just need to get a really strong, clear ND filter.
September/October 2013 is when I'm aiming to complete it.
I actually went to high school in Naperville, at Neuqua!
Anyone never heard of / tasted Sriracha? I'm curious!
I'm definitely interested to try the Thai original!
I appreciate you saying that! Thanks for watching!
I'm the same way-one in the fridge, and a backup in the cupboard!
I wonder if I'm just becoming immune to the heat!
I subscribed as soon as you mentioned "Spiderman Chalk" hahaha
Glad I could introduce you to the stuff!
No, DC-universe chalk is not compatible.
I'm so glad you find inspiration here!
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.
I didn't think about those. Thanks!
One, then move. One, then move...
I believe the video is private.
I know, that's a great comic!
Is that a U.S.-only meaning?
So a hyperlapse is just multiple pictures framed together?
It's all for you this week!
I try to keep it subtle. :)
I appreciate that!
Is it not working?
My Panasonic GH3.
They make a jug?
Does anyone not?
Great tips and very useful
Good to know!
Ooh, thanks!
I LOVE SRIRACHA!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! And this video is so informative. Thank you for sharing your experience and ideas. So valuable to me! I truly look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You, SO MUCH.
***** (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.
That hot sauce Is the Best!!!!! Thank u soooo much for the hyperlapse help :) what lense should I use
Thanks!
24 fps
Thanks!
Me too!
Nice job, Niels!
Another awesome video! I'm going to try this when it stops snowing here in Colorado.
Been eatin' the Sriracha for at least 12 years. Interesting video.
In Hawaii we call it the "COCK SAUCE" LOL! well not everyone... but I'm sure you see why :) Your show is extremely inspiring, I am trying to become a full time film maker and you always have great content to help me stay focused. Very appreciated Sir.
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.
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!
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
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.
Would applying motion blur help? or is a slower shutter speed a must? I find that if something moves to fast with the slow shutter it completely ruins the photograph
great video! I've learnt more things from this video than from weeks of researches online!!! Thanks a lot and if you like, watch my timelapses on my channel! Bye!
Question..So I'm using FCPX and After Effects. Should I compress the entire video of each shot in FCPX, then export, then drop into Adobe After Effects? This might be the dumbest question ever. I am not NEARLY as smart with AE as I am with FCPX
Hi!
Did you know that they are planning to BAN the sriracha sauce?
I am devastated!
You can shoot in RAW but it will take a large amount of space on your hard drive. You also need a computer fast enough to process all the files.
CAN I DO THE HIPERLAPSE MOVE WITH A BLACK MAGIC CINEMA CAMERA? SO I KNOW HOW TO GET A TIMELAPSE REGULARLY , BUT THE SAME THING ON THIS VIDEO ....
I dont ge ti, whats the difference if you just shoot a video, very slowly , at low frame rate, on a dolly, and than speed it up?
That is cool! I actually tried a Hike-Lapse. I shot a picture every 5 steps on a day hike in the sierras. It turned out okay.
