Welcome back. Today, we're going to show you how to film a time lapse video on a
DSLR camera, it's actually easier than you think and I'm in the perfect place
to show you. Beautiful sunrise happening this morning so let's go check it out.
I'm going to grab my other camera here.
Alright, we're just going to go upstairs onto the roof.
You guys got to check this up, this view is amazing. Look what's happening over there.
So I'm going to set up my tripod really quick.
I had my screen flipped the other
way. Okay, so all I did was set up my camera and hit record. There are features
that you can do where it will actually create an automatic time lapse for you
but you have to have a certain timer and it will take an incremental photo every
you know, whatever time you set it to and then it will piece it all together but I
find that it's a little bit too complicated I have to do is hit record
and then when you're editing it, you can take a file, let's say, that full file is
10 minutes long if you shrink it down to 10 seconds or 30 seconds, it will just
play it a lot quicker and it looks really great, it looks just like a
time-lapse otherwise so I mean, it takes a little bit more storage space but I'm
just going to let this run and the trick is to let it run for a long time because if
I'm looking at things in the distance like these colorful clouds here, you
can't see the color anymore and I'll play the time-lapse for you. Okay, so if
we're looking at these beautiful colors, the stripes and the clouds in the
distance, we're not going to see a whole lot of movement but over time, we'll see the
colors change, we'll see movement in the clouds and you compress say a half hour
into just 30 seconds, it's going to look great. So how about you see it? Okay, let's
take a look right now.
So I don't film sunrises very often, I don't aim my camera directly at the Sun
very often and so one mistake that I made is the lighting settings.
I put the ISO the sensitivity on automatic but the shutter speed and
stuff I didn't turn high enough or small enough so that it kind of locked out and
as the sun came up, it got a little bit too bright so anyway, I made some
adjustments midway through the time lapse and that's
why you might see just a quick transition in lighting and color. Anyway,
but it still looks awesome. Okay, so we've been filming this sunrise
for about 26 minutes and as I just walked over and checked on it, it
starting to have auto focus issues so I just should have turned off to the
autofocus but anyway, so let me see if you can see the screen here, it's awfully
bright. Yeah, you can see the screen. I don't know how well that can let me
focus on the screen there. I don't know, it doesn't seem to be doing it right
now but one of the easiest things that I
could have done is on the lens right here, I could have turned it to manual
and that, I would have solved that problem of autofocus having it change
focus during the middle of my long time lapse so we're up to 26 minutes and 50
seconds right now, should I call it good? You want to see what that looks like?
So hopefully you found these quick tips helpful. Just go out, the best way to
learn how to do a time-lapse is just to do one. If you're filming on your iPhone,
in fact, this one right here is great for doing time lapses, it actually has a
time-lapse setting so all you need to do is prop this up with a tripod or prop it
up against a rock or something that can hold it up and then hit that time-lapse
button and it will just create one automatically for you. So I'm home and
I've grown a beard but I wanted to add one more thing to this video because on
the way home, using this very phone, I use the iPhone time-lapse feature and filmed
this time-lapse outside of the airplane window. Check it out.
With a DSLR, don't worry about any of the fancy features, just hit record. Be sure
to subscribe and we'll see in the next video.
