***Timelapse Reel of HVX stuff***

Vincent, I have watched the clip many times to try and give good advice. Check out Baraka (the movie) to see how smooth the camera moves should be. I think the pans should be slower than the mouvement of the timelapse, not faster. The dynamic will be interesting, and not feel rushed. Part of the thrill of timelapse is that the action is speeding by. That's why you want to really slow down the camera moves. I would try to make the clips longer, at least the really stunning ones. It is impresive that you are moving the camera, but don't do it at the sacrifice of the timelapse photography. Our eyes are very susceptable to jerks . Even if it was a still shot, one little bump in a shot can ruin the mystique of what apears to be a natural scene from nature. What is your' interval? I have been using 1 frame every 5 seconds. I will try to post something on youtube or something so I don't sound like such a talker. Good luck with the rig. check out this clip for smoother pans, though still a little choppy

It comes from this killer thread that also talks about rigs

Dogcat , thanks I am greatfull for Critisizm. sorry if my Bad gramer spelling made me sound Sarcastic. you make a really good point, Ive been trying to get my Mo-CO to match the movment like in my end shot and insted your saying I might get a better Feel if I let the Action Travel trough the Frame as Im moving which now as I write this makes much better Sence. I was working so Hard on a Quick Equation of the Degrees per sec/FPS I wasn't thinking of the Asetic or Edit...

wind is an isue for my rig got to find a way to stabilize it better..

yes thats Natral light in the kitken. I remember an older cinematagraphy book talking about how a good dp shuld sit for a day at each location so to find when the Location looks best. unfourtuantly my ADD makes me dance in my pants so I could never sit down in one spot that long. luckly this is my kitken and i had seen when the best time to shoot was.

and yes that's my Pro fusion hazer working. set off all the smoke detectors...

I liked it alot, I wasnt feeling some of the moving camera shots. I just thought it was too much fast movement and for me visually incoharent at some points. Other than that it was fantastic, I really liked the sun ray through the window. I think to add to the intense speed the cuts were pretty fast.
 
I actually liked the faster than usual panning and cutting in parts - it was a nice change from the usual leisurely shots and fit the changing music tempo well.

Just iron out the jerks (maybe even cut out those frames?) and sort out the horizon level problems and they would be even better.
