Production Schedule
(light music) Now that we have an idea of all the shots we want for our assignment, let's lay 'em out in a schedule. So let's look at the production schedule we have here for our Yosemite winter assignment. So you'll see that I have color coded all the times for the sunrise, sunset, moonset and moonrises. And for the moonrises and the moonsets you'll see how full the moon is for that particular point in time. So on November 25th, we're gonna be scouting for a first shot and we're gonna be scouting around 9:00 p.m., and that's later than moonrise. And the reason why we're gonna be scouting later than moonrise is because the walls of Yosemite are really tall and that can obscure our visibility of the moon until later the night. So we're not gonna get there earlier for that reason. Same for scouting sunrise. The next day, we're gonna scout around seven instead of before 6:49. And that's just because the sun's not gonna come up until later. We're gonna save ourselves some time there as w...
ell, get some sleep and save some energy. We're gonna scout sunset for lake location three. We wanna see that one all the way through so we're gonna get there just before sunset. And later in the day, we're gonna come back to location one. We're gonna set up our shot and give ourselves about 30 minutes to set that shot up. And we know we can do that, and we also know when the moon's gonna be rising in a particular spot that we're gonna be framing. And we gather all that information the day before and that's gonna help us out a lot for setting up our camera in a certain position, framing our shot and setting up our settings on our camera. So the next day, on November 27th, we're gonna be doing only shots two and three. Shot two, it's gonna be sunrise shot, and we know that we gotta be there around 6: to set up, start around seven, so that gives us about 38 minutes of prep. And we're gonna finish our shot around 10:00 a.m. and that will just give us enough time in our time lapse to capture all the movement of the sun rising on El Capitan. We're gonna set up our third shot around 3:00 p.m. and we're gonna start at 3:30. And that is because we want to have a full hour before sunset to capture anything that happens before sunset, and because we're gonna be taking that shot into the night we wanna capture enough before and after to tell the whole story. And so then we're gonna finish that shot around 11. And that's how you lay out a schedule and scout for those particular shots that you're looking for. (light 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.
