Time Lapse is a photography technique used to make motion movie footage using a stills camera.
Film cameras shoot 24 frames per second (fps). If you take a stills camera and shoot 1 frame per second then put all the photos in a row and play them back at 24 fp, you’ll have a time lapse that has effectively sped up to 24 times it’s normal speed.
To achieve this I will need a remote intervalometer that plugs into the camera. This controls the exact timings of the shots taken.
Another way I could achieve this is by using a software called Magic Lantern.
Magic Lantern is an open platform for developing enhancements to Canon digital SLRs. These cameras are "game changing" for independent film makers:
- It allows the use of a wide range of lenses (anything that can be adapted to the EF mount).
- The 5D's 35mm full-frame sensor is larger than the RED ONE's sensor, Super 35 film. It is approximately the size of VistaVision. This means shallower native depth-of-field than anything on the market, except for the Phantom 65.
- The dynamic range and latitude are close to the capabilities of high-end HD cameras.
- The low-light performance is currently unrivaled, even by the RED ONE.
- On-screen audio meters
- Manual gain control with no AGC
- Zebra stripes (video peaking)
- Custom Cropmarks for 16:9, 2.35:1, 4:3 and any other format
- Control of focus and bracketing
Along with all this, it has a built in intervalometer setting so that would solve my problem as well.
