TIME! Where does it come from?... Where does it go?...Where does it come from Cotton Eye Joe???
Dunna Did It JESUS CHRIST this was the first thing I saw when I came to comment and I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I’m glad it didn’t go unnoticed!
Took me back to my middle school days! LOL 🤠
There are few theories about the meaning of the song lyrics. One theory is that Joe was a heavy drinker. Moonshine has the potential to blind people, so people suspect that his eyes were turned a milky white after being blinded by alcohol. Another theory says that it is possible that whoever Cotton-eyed Joe was actually had a medical condition that caused his eyes to turn white. Glaucoma or cataracts will cause this symptom, as does one other condition that leads into another theory, syphilis.

I came back to this video again after about a year since watching it the first time. That intro is solid gold. Beautifully written and executed.
Thank you for talking about how taking video and speeding it up is a way to do time lapse. I have been watching videos of how other people do it. Nobody calls sped up video a time lapse it was confusing as hell to me. That is what i think of when i think of a timelapse. Subbed because this is a dope video.
Thanks for taking time out to explain concisely the 3 method for time-lapse. Quite educative and informative.
Great stuff man! I just finished watching all of your videos, yes, from that very first one to this one. It was a lot of fun watching you progress through out. Thank you for sharing this journey and inspiring us who are just sort of starting out (or starting out again.) Cheers!
Wow! You dig through like 150 videos!! Thanks for checking them all out!
Great video. Very helpful.
I love the intervalometer, it’s so nice to finally have a camera that can do it internally. Nice not to have to bring a shutter release, and then once you get set you realize your battery is dead and you can, in fact, NOT get your shot 😭
It makes a huge difference! And the trick to be able to preview your timelapse if you shot with the interval timer is gold!
Got my first timelapse job coming up (nothing major) but I use sony a7siii bodies so this really helped me out! Going with the basic S&Q way as nothing amazing is needed. Earned a sub thank you!
Great video , really helpful!
Really helpful stuff Dunna!!! hehe👌🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Glad to hear it!!
Love the intro! And the rest is pretty awesome too! :-) One of you best videos, if not the best! Good job!
Thanks dude!!
So helpful brother thank you.
Thank you SO much! This video is very helpful and thorough.
Thanks for watching!
Helpful stuff right here, thank you sir!
That’s great to hear! Cheers!
woah seeing the bridge move in the intro scene was actually dope, never seen that before.
Timelapses will forever be one of my favourite shooting styles. Recently been experimenting a little bit with the iphone timelapse feature and walking to try and create a very simple hyperlapse setup!
Nice! The Instagram hyperlapse app was cool back in the day too!
Great video 😉🌱
Great video Dunna! I’ve never been able to put my finger on why some of the videos looked off. The motion blur!!!! Great tips and explainations, as always
Cheers Klint!
I know I am like 6 month late but this video could not have popped up on my feed at a better time, trying to figure out more efficient ways to timelapse for my videos, you are always there for me with just the right tips lol ^^
Happy to help!!
Great Video. Great channel
Will be in NYC next week. I’ll use this technique for my music video 👐🏼 super helpful thank you!
Nice!
Another great video bro. I love the look of time-lapse. But I dont have the patience for it. LOL.
Haha I hear you!
TARDIS! You have a TARDIS in your video. This already makes it the best video I've seen this week. Also, Time-lapses are a staple in almost all of my vlogs. Mostly because I start a vlog, and then like 6 hours later, I'm like "crap I haven't filmed anything in like 6 hours. TIME-LAPSE!"
Haha I’m glad you enojoyed that 😜. I hear you on the Vlog timelapse. Hence the Casey reference haha
Good stuff man 👍
Thanks dude!!
I liked your Tutorial, Good job.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey man great stuff thank you! Just a question, I had a look at your gear list, but I can't find these long black sheets that you use to block the sunlight, could you share them? They look really nice and easy to set up! Thanks and keep rocking it!
Sweet info. Dunna, I remember that intervelometer vid thats where your filter fell and when I joined the channel... good times good times... anyways... I don't think I have that second method on my Nikon d5600 but it has a time laps function calculates everything time and all, haven't used it but I will try it now. Thx for the info 👍👍👍
Haha yeah that was an interesting day for me. Fun video in the end though.
That’s cool! Some cameras will even make a video file for you if they have a timelapse function. But usually there are limitations to it.
@@dunnadidit when I actually use it I'll post how good or bad it was 🙂
Great Scott!!!
Who needs a delorean when I build a time travel machine in my living room every week lol
Awesome video. Yea I can’t decide which one is my favorite it just depends on the situation which one to use. If I know I just need a timelapse fast and easy and I am on a crunch and don’t want to think too much then S&Q works great. I hate the time it takes to do method 3 but it does look so good lol. Awesome video man! I was waiting for you to rip a Johnny B. Goode guitar solo
Haha I’ll have to call up Sidney to do the solo for me.
4:27 love seeing that setup mate. I've been wanting to know how you set this up since you first mentioned how long it took you to do!
Thanks dude! Yeah I’ve been getting quicker, and having that vanishing cabinet super handy like that makes a big difference.
Hey Dunna, great tips! I used to love shooting using the intervalometer but haven't tried it using my camera's internal one. I need to test it out. Also, time travel is dope 😃
Thanks Amrita! I agree... time travel is dope, although I always get a little headache 🤣
@@dunnadidit Bwahahahaha
Great video
Thank you so much!
More gold! 👍👊🤪
Haha thanks dude!
Dunna, thanks for the great video. The Sony a6400 has no time limit and also it has the ability built in to preview the time-lapse.
Truth!
Hey buddy, thanks for the amazing tips. I have a question and was wondering if you could help me with that. I use canon 77D (A pretty old one). The problem is whenever I have shot timelapse with that, I brought up a video straight out of the camera. However I would like to know if there is a way I could get the number of photos that I have shot separately as raw from the camera but not the direct video, whithout using a intervelometer.
With Sony cameras you can get 4K and motion blur by combining method 1 and 2. Just film normally and drop your shutter speed down to 1/4th second you'll be able to then speed that footage up by 600% and still get a 1:1 frame readout with motion blur so it's nice and smooth. Downside is that like method 1, you get big file sizes and you need to process that speed change in post.
Great video by the way Dunna!
That’s a fantastic point! You do lose the ability to go back to real time in the middle of a timelapse which was my main attraction to method one. But if you know you want a timelapse only, then that would totally work! Cheers!
I never used it, but I'm thinking about using it for showing my process in painting in the future
A6400 here no recording limit #weirdflexbutok thanks bro! I was literally watching a premier pro ad of time lapses haha love the youtube setup 👌🏼
How do i set up the a6500 to take photo timelapse with variable auto iso? A6500 does not have a built in intervol. I have the free app but when it kicks in the camera locks on the first photo settings no matter what the camera settings are. will the external intervol still allow the camera to auto expose?
Method 3 is the only one I’ve ever tried, I like the control and ability to shoot as long as I want. :)
Nice!
Hi, why the timelaps made with the eos R6 have frames with alternating darker and lighter exposures, both with the exposure setting on the first frame and on each frame?
thanks!
No problem!
Great video Dunna... Which other cameras have the SP mode for option 2 ??
I know I can do something similar using filmic people on my phone. And I know Panasonic has a function similar as well.
Hello, I bought a hero 8 & put a time laps of 5mn between pictures to capture my flowering tree of life over the next 3 months ... Would you say that is good for a 5mn vidéo?
Great video as always! I usually shoot timelapses with the first method, but like you said... the huge file sizes can be annoying 😂
I wish the a6300 had an internal intervalometer. Although there's a "Time Lapse" app you can buy for 10€, it seems to be quite limiting. Have you tried it?
Yeah I've tried that app. Its actually half decent. However, I'm pretty sure there's an intervelometer "hack" you can download if you do some googling ;)
Definitely method #3 for most of my timelapse as I like the best quality but I don't dislike method #2 every now and again for fast time lapses of people walking on the street and me doing silly things :)
Number 3 it is for me 🎉
Thanks for sharing! I can't find the link to the TL calculator :) do you mind? Thanks!
Ah dang! Thanks for letting me know! I totally forgot to add it. I put it in there now but here it is: www.photopills.com/calculators/timelapse
How is the Nikon built-in TL quality? Say Z6 or Z50?
Is the second Method or intervall better for timelapsing growth of a plant?
Recently bought an a6600 as my first proper camera. I didn't even know that S&Q was a timelapse feature haha. Knew about 1st method, and the 3rd method, so I'll give that a shot (pardon the pun)
Nice! Have fun with it! Puns are appreciated around these parts
Nice video Dunna Did It. And not a bad like to dislike ratio lol.
Personally I’m a #3 kinda guy, and ironically posted my first Timelapse video on here last night.
Love the DSLR and shooting in RAW, but I’m considering taking a go pro and a 360 one X with me to shoot if I see a second angle I could get. (would love a second DSLR but let’s use what we have at our disposal lol)
Anyway, great video and looking forward to more :0)
Thanks so much Christian!
The one x is pretty cool for hyperlapses. It’s got a motion blur setting that helps a lot!
Weird but it seems the time lapse feature that used to be in the camera app in Windows 10 is gone in Windows 11. Can you recommend an app for that which is free to use for non-commercial?
Did I miss the calculator you referred to? Didn’t see it in the links. Thanks for all of the info!
Ah dang! Thanks for letting me know! I totally forgot to add it. I put it in there now but here it is: www.photopills.com/calculators/timelapse
Thank you very much!
OK, major bonus cool points for the Doctor Who reference. :)
😜 any chance I get, I’ll slip one in!
@@dunnadidit But but... but.. man? Get with the latest. 😅
???
Dunna Did It “How is a MAN in a police box..” The Doctor is now a woman. Just all I was pointing out. 🙃 Nevertheless, a solid Doctor-drop in the vid. Now I need to go and time lapse something.
I have gotten into timelapse lately by using a spare phone. It has been mostly scenery for my channel. However, I have been using timelapse / hyperlapse videos for various personal reasons. What free video editor do you usually recommend?
i mostly use them as day to night transition or timepass sessions
Nice!
Dunna, what is the backdrop tripod/stand that you were using in the first time lapse? It looked pretty portable/handy. Is it?
It’s kind of a mish mash of cheap stands from amazon. You can find them in my kit though. www.kit.co/dunnadidit
Dunna: “for us mere humans, it’s always moving forward”
Allow me to introduce you to the “-“ sign in the time stretch dialogue box 👀
???
Which affordable Sony cameras do method 2?
Damn, i recently made a video that was only showing method 3. Definitely my favourite method. Raw is just way easier to grade.
Definitely the most flexible for grading 100%
hello. panansonic lumix, camera makes the video out of your shots - pictures. so after shoot you can watch the video. and still have the raw to make it agin in the computer if you like or need...
Bam! Panasonic wins again for awesome features!
Hello Dunna! I am looking to do a related thing: using a hyperlapse to make an object (a suitcase) move along a sidewalk. God bless!
Very cool! How do you plan to make it happen?
Dunna Did It Ah, thinking it might be a real labor! Running into frame to move the suitcase, then run out of frame, take pic. Repeat repeat repeat. But I really want to do it for a vid’s B-roll. God bless, brother. Ur channel is manna to a lot of us! 💛😎
I still prefer method no.3. Using Lightroom combined with LRTimelapse will make a smooth and flicker free timelapse, especially day to night or night to day timelapses when light changes. I do agree post processing take a few hours but end result is worth the effort. Anyway, great video..not much video explains about timelapse. Keep up the good work.
Totally! If I have the time and energy, I’ll choose #3 most of the time! Cheers!
@@dunnadidit Believed method 3 is meant for photographer that purely shoot timelapse or hyperlapse. Day to night with 7 secs interval and 60 mins shooting time is tiring. Really appreciate you replying to all of your viewer comments, rarely i see UA-camr does it. Keep up the great channel and wish your 100K subs will soon come to light.
Yeah I love seeing those epic timelapses that span a lot of time, but boy are they tiring to shoot. I don’t often have the energy for it lol. Thanks for the kind words!
I use time-lapse shots to capture the opening of flower buds or unfurling of new leaves.
Very cool!
Hi there Dunna
Honestly I‘m a bit of an iPhone & iPad Nerd (just WITHOUT the whole camera & photo topic) but last night I‘ve been "Lucky" to download a once $ 9 app (Movie Pro) for free.
I know, I know an iPhone (even with the BEST CAMERA/PHOTO APP OF THE WORLD) is NOT COMPARABLE with for example a SLR Camera. But in my defense, (2day I received a mail that my PREORDERED 15 Pro Max, will arrive within the Next 2 days) is the camera of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, not the worst cell phone camera.
So if I dig at least 50 % of Your TUTORIAL, I might start using not only all the STANDARD OPTIONS (as before)of my new iPhone, BUT EVEN TRY OUT The Camera and EVEN HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT.
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
I would add that the 3rd method can drain out your camera shutter count relatively quick. Unless of course your camera has a silent mode ('electronic shutter').
Good point!
4:14 Method number one. What is the best frame rate to film this at? 23.976 fps?
what mouse is that ? :O
Totally recommend timelapsetool - it's easy to use, flexible, and works all the way up to 5k and beyond. Loads of added effects should you want them.
Cool! I’ll have to check it out!
can you make a time lapse without a computer all i have is the sony a6400 and a cell phone
I'm not sure if they still carry it in the store,, but for Sony did have an app for it in the Sony store through your camera. If I can remember it was $10.
Yeah that was on the older playmemories store. They’ve moved away from that now but maybe you can still access it
I'm watchiing this video 2 years in the future of it being made. TIME TRAVEL CONFIRMED
Third method, Canon 1DX Mkii, seperate intervolometer, RAW, POST to JPEG. Have shot sunsets, fireworks, clock face, candle burning.
How do you send S and Q files straight to your phone? I have Sony A7sii and iphone and haven’t found a way to do this.
You can only do it on the newer cameras BUT! You can get a phone SD card reader and transfer the files that way.
Been trying to figure this out for ages. It’s. Not ideal, but if you film in MP4 you can transfer from A7s2 to iphone over wifi. This is going to be great when I’m on holiday and just wanting to clip together some clips on rush for a little edit. Can’t believe I hadn’t figured this out earlier. You can only film in 1080 at low bit rate but won’t matter if it’s just being watched on tiny instagram canvas. I have got a dongle for SD and this only works for photos, maybe it will work for MP4 files as well
Bam! Problem solver over here
3rd and shoot RAW compressed
Nice!
Argh Sony. HD only kills the S&Q method for me. Would be so nice.
(I agree)
"What in the name of Casey Neistat is a timelapse?" 😂
Haha my understanding is that he prefers method #1 😜
Did no one else notice the bridge flexing and moving in the opening time-lapse 😳
I use a DJI osmo pocket for timelapse, when needed. Which is probably once a year.
Nice!
🙏🙏🙏
I want to time lapse Frogspawn lol
Plot twist: The video shot from the tuk tuk was NOT time lapse! ;)
I will show how I do an installation time-lapse.
First coment
NOICE
Nr 3 all the way, because like you said it gives the most flexibility in post
Nice!!
Sorry man can't tell you the secret to time travel you will enjoy it in future's present
I appreciate you letting me know that at least 😜
Timelapse is NOT sped up video.
If I shoot a video at 24fps, then I speed it up 24x in my video timeline. The way that the software accomplishes that is by playing one frame from each second of video. Which would be exactly the same as if I had shot a 1 second interval photo timelapse with the same settings. So while timelapses aren’t ONLY sped up videos in the way they are created, that is definitely one way that you can create them.
Sony A6300 users here like: 😞
You can use the playmemories apps though can’t you? There’s a timelapse app in there too!
@@dunnadidit Yeah. Can. It's a paid app though. And I've always thought it was so stupid they didn't include that basic function to begin with.
