Linear Tracking Systems

This equipment looks get. Allows you to achieve smooth panning horizontally, vertically or in a curve. It's not too pricey at $500 for the base model, but still shows that this is a very expensive industry if you want high quality results.

HDR Timelapse

3 photos are taken in very quick succession (normal, under exposed and over exposed) and layered on top of each other to give the HDR effect. I can only imagine it took quite a while to sort everything out and then batch process all the photos. Still, the end result is very unique and quite impressive.

Timescapes: Rapture

This clip features some amazing cinematography. It's a little frustrating that Ireland doesn't have skies like that, then again even if it did the cameras being used are way above me as well. Some good ideas in here though.

Test 06 - More Panning

There was a nice sky today so I captured something I see everyday from my kitchen window but never really pay any attention to. It is safe to say that panning timelapses look a lot cooler than static ones.

Infrared/Projector Skate Ramp Technology

This is quite clever. By using infrared sensors to detect the location of the skateboarder, effects can trail them as they skate on the ramp. Projectors map onto the 3d surface and what we are left with is a very futuristic skate ramp. Although most of what you see is smoke and mirrors, it is still very clever and I can't wait to see what else can be done with this technology in the future.

Test 05 - Panning/Zooming Artificially

Just a test to see how panning and zooming looks done in post production. I'm sure it can be done much more effectively but it's good to see that it works and gives the illusion that someone is manually operating the camera over a long period of time.

Impressive Panning/Moving Timelapse

This video is exactly the type of feel I am trying to create for my own film. Originally I thought that a lot of the panning and zooming was done in post production however I have since learned that the photographer was using this piece of hardware. Overall I think it is a great reference on how to make this style of video.
