Finding Purpose In Your Timelapse
(gentle music) Okay, so now we know how to shoot a time lapse. Let's move on to thinking about how to develop a time lapse project. So, I like to break this down into three steps. The first thing is what's your purpose for shooting time lapse? Is this a time lapse that's gonna go into a bigger project? Is it gonna serve the purpose of creating a transition such as a transition from day to night, or is this gonna be entirely its own time lapse project? So when I made Project Yosemite, I was thinking about how I could capture the transitions in seasons and show that in a only time lapse. So I developed that project with that purpose. Number two, you want to think about where you're gonna shoot your time lapse. Now, start to think about the elements present in the environment that you'll be shooting. If you think about that, it's gonna help direct you towards a specific shot that you're looking for. The third thing is what is the event that you're capturing? You should think about what ...
time of day you're capturing. Are you capturing the day or the night? What makes more sense? Also, what's a good time of year to be shooting your time lapse? Should you shoot it in the wintertime, or is the event that you're trying to capture, such as the Milky Way rising? Is that gonna be better in the summertime? The answer to those questions will help you be more efficient with your time when planning the time lapse project. Those are the three key questions you should ask yourself before starting a time lapse project. (gentle music)

I have seen tons of timelapses, but there is no other timelapse film that touches my soul as much as Project Yosemite 1 I never forget the moment when I saw Project Yosemite for the first time! That moment I knew that that’s what I wanna DO! Colin is the reason that I bought my first DSLR! Thank You Alex for getting together with my hero and make this awesome idea happen!

Clear and concise workshop to understand the process of Time-lapse photography Being new to this aspect of photography, I found this workshop informative and directional. If I were to give a critique, it would be regarding equipment choice for the entry level bridging to pro-level for the introductory student. Otherwise, it lays a nice foundation to build from.
