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
I appreciate you saying that! Thanks for watching!
it blows me away how these videos are. they are a memory of my teens when i started to get into film
Agreed. Who knows if I'll ever use it, but I love learning new tools!
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?
Chad Watson He uses the GH3.

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.
***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.
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!
I'm so glad you find inspiration here!
Definitely. It'll be a wider angle effect, which will probably make the movement look even more epic.
I'm almost ready to go but where do I get Spiderman chalk?
Griffin that was a fantastic tutorial on hyper lapsing. I am subscribed to over 100 people (and have a few videos myself) and you are one of the few people whom I watch every video because I know they are going to be great. Thumbs up!
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.
Griffin, local film festivals are already making an impact on me as a filmmaker. My film recently advanced to the top 8 where it will be screened and i have received multiple job request since then. Festivals are awesome! PS film is also on my channel now. Thanks for encouraging me Griffin. It paid off!
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'm from South Africa. Whenever my grandmother goes to the states for a holiday, she comes back with a few bottles of Siracha for the extended family. We all pretty much love it this side and I'm sure they would make a killing if they expanded (or exported) to S.A.
I love Sriracha too, and i love watching this channel, I'm still a noob when it comes to Filming and editing and stuff like that but this channel has helped me a lot to improve in all that.
Another awesome video! I'm going to try this when it stops snowing here in Colorado.
Thanks a lot, I'm doing a wedding video for my cousins this summer and your stuff has been really helping me.
Glad I could introduce you to the stuff!
I LOVE HYPERLAPSE AND THAT TAI HOTSAUCE. This week, you nailed it!
Yeah, that happens so often. I really don't want to miss festival deadlines this fall.
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.
If you head into your settings, you can change the timeframe of a still image when its imported. If all your shots are numbered sequentially, you can select the first one and then check the "Numbered Stills" box when importing. To speed up or slow down just use the time and speed tools when you right click on the clip.
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.)
Love you guys - y'all aren't sarcastic and rude as the other video hosts. Keep it up
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.
You actually just inspired me to spend the time between the end of my college semester and my summer job doing some moving time warps of my hometown! I think I'm gonna use a white card to always get consistent white balance. The change in white balance is slightly distanciating for me
I actually went to high school in Naperville, at Neuqua!
I didn't think about those. Thanks!
I do it all the time. Increment the zoom each frame while you move back from the subject. This gives you a reverse zoom effect or vertigo effect. Shoot hand-held and leave the tripod at home unless you need a long exposure. Steady your images using keyframes and dump that crappy warp stabilizer that distorts the frames. This takes much longer ofcourse, but you have much more control over the final.
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.
It's all for you this week!
I recommend you try it, but they're very different flavors. Less vinegary. More garlicky. You can taste the fresh jalepenos.
Sriracha is amazing, goes on just about everything!!
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.
I'm definitely interested to try the Thai original!
I LOVE Sriracha, got hooked on it while living and traveling in Asia. I haven't tried it on cereal..... YET.
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.
Hey griffin! I like the pants hanging off the fence in your time lapse. It adds life to your shot.
Tried it today with my team, and it came out great. Thanks for the online lesson.
Good to know!
experimentation!! all film makers should do it to expand the tools they can use in a project. Thanks for explaning hyper lapsing
Great Video! You speak so clearly that german people (like me) can understand all of it what you say in the video!
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!
Oh Jeez there is so much to experiment with here. Going around objects seems straightforward but approaching objects while maintaining depth of focus....or lack of it?
Working with buildings or a (very patient) model.....Well that's erased any excuse for boredom for the next few years. Great ideas...thanks for posting.
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!
dude thats awesome that your making a documentary about Siracha! They make that stuff moments away from my house. They put my hometown of Rosemead on the map!
Hey Griffin, Great video. I met you briefly at the CMM last week. I got introduced to Sirracha while living in Los Angeles. Was putting it on everything. Love hot sauces / hot things, so this is on the top of my list. I look forward to seeing this doc.
Great tutorial, Griffin. Gotta give this a try. And a Sriracha doc sounds like a great idea. We've sure been eating it for years, and yet know very little about where it comes from. Can't wait to see it. Break a leg!
You notice that FCP's Stabilization worked somewhat. But it gets hung up if the image changes too much.
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.
No, I can usually type a few lyrics into Google and figure out what the songs are.
hey griffin HELLO!!! from Panamà(country), i never take time to make comments on the you tube channels, but i really love indy mogul and i just have to say thanks for the hard work.
Nice job, Niels!
Man, I really look forward to Indy Mogul content!! Thanks for being awesome.
I think it's good to focus on one object and make a documentary about it. It keeps things organized and you can always link everything back to that one object.
I haven't yet, but I'm meeting the guy who suggested that flavor to Lay's!
I subscribed as soon as you mentioned "Spiderman Chalk" hahaha
I appreciate that!
***** (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.
I used 'My Little Pony' chalk and it worked just fine!
September/October 2013 is when I'm aiming to complete it.
That is such an amazing effect, it seems to make things more epic somehow. I've heard of Sriracha and I've seen it on tv but I've never been able to find it around here. I guess small towns aren't up on their more adventurous condiments. lol
Thank you for such an insightful video into the wonderful world of hyper-lapse
By the way I live in Thailand and I feel it is weird how most Thai people do not know what Sri Racha sauce is :)
I think it's there and working in the description, isn't it?
Haha I love that you left that end goof in! The hyper lapse is awesome and I want to try it. Good luck with the documentary.
I was amazed you could do this with out a dolly. Those make life easy. especialy for hyperlapse.
Yeah, my dad loves that stuff. It suddenly showed up and now he always has it around.
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 ?
Whaaaat! That's awesome! Some of my best friends are from Naperville! I drive past Neuqua all the time!
Thanks!
you're most likely not going to read this.....but i think the third one looks pretty cool as well because it looks like you are walking and it doesn't look perfect but kind of raw..... i love this
Good stuff! Can't wait to try it out!
My dad also uses that stuff on everything that he eats, can't wait to see it Griffin I know it's going to be great.
Sriracha is amazing. The pizza place I work at has a pizza with sriracha as the base sauce for it. So good.
don't have the patience for this. so glad you do
Me too!
I love that hot sauce. Started buying it last year and I've been noticing it everywhere!
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.)
If I could find a good motion blur plug-in, perhaps. It's not necessary-depends on the look you're going for.
Can't wait to try this out. I just have to find a suitable subject to focus on. --Maybe film the beach from the pier on a busy weekend? hmmm. . .
I know this a late response but when I was deployed in the Navy there was a bottle of that on every table....I was on a small ship so there was only two tables, but there was a cubbord full. Thanks for the video. Interesting stuff.
In Calgary, there is a tower with a revolving resteraunt near the top. It moves pretty slowly and you can see most of the city. You could shoot a hyperlapse video and never even have to move the camera!
Ooh, thanks!
Yeah, I just need to get a really strong, clear ND filter.
Oh yeah, sriracha is awesome. We keep extra in the house at all time.
I love Sriracha!! Although I feel it's not at spicy as it used to be. Maybe because of production increase? (or maybe it's cause I put it on everything!) Can't wait to see it!
You could also take a thin rope and tie knots at certain intervals. You could then quickly lay it down and create a hyper lapse anywhere without having to take time to mark intervals on the ground.
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!
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.
Cool! We were wondering how hiperlapses are done and your video was a great explanation! You're good, man!
This is AWESOME! And love the Sriracha story!
I use that hot sauce on everything xD. From taco bell tacos to even tuna sandwiches. I cannot wait for your documentary
Been eatin' the Sriracha for at least 12 years. Interesting video.
I kind of assume the stabilization is similar between FCPX and Motion, but perhaps not.
Dude, thank you SO much for the ctrl+d+1+enter shortcut!!!
Thanks for the great video and YES! I mean... yes, I've had Srirachi. Stuff is amazing.
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!
LOVE the documentary film idea dude.
I try to keep it subtle. :)
