Hey guys,
I have a question about some effects that I am trying to achieve while I shoot time-lapse with my D90 (in still photos, using an interval-meter)
Basically I am trying to make some time lapse shots for the feature I am working on, and i want some of the shots to pan left or right, just like they did in some of those beautiful Planet Earth time-lapse shots on Discovery
I know they used a motion control system for the Planet Earth ones. They basically set a special pan and tilt head to gradually pan or tilt over the course of a few days, thus resulting, in a smooth pan for the finished product.
Since I do not have the money for an expensive motion control system, my question is, how can i do this at home?
My initial thought was i could shoot the lime-lapse, then throw it onto my computer in 2k or 1080p and then just do it all digitally, like have a digital "window" pan or tilt on the larger image. Since my feature is in 720p i figured this would be a good idea.
The problem is, I have no idea how to do this. I would assume that it would be done in Final Cut and After Effects or Motion.
Can anyone shed some light onto how i might go about doing this?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
(I do not know if this is the right forum, because it is a complex question so i am going to post it in a few sections)
Thanks,
