Timelapse moon...

[bluehaven]

I shot this last night and speed it up. I was wondering if there is a better way to shoot dark skies or if this looks ok. I wish there was more detail in the moon but I think it looks pretty cool. The shutter speed was 1/6.

Well that looks okay to me. Did a good job. The only thing that distracted me was the bright light on the side of the house, because it partially took my focus off the moon, since it was the only other bright object in the scene. I think if you could find some way to mask that out, then the moon would probably draw more focus, which is the purpose of the clip. Thats just my opinion, but the sky looked good to me. Is that raw or any CC?

 

[bluehaven]

Yeah there is just a touch of CC. Looking at it now I see what you mean about the light on the building.

hmm, think I could get that kind of look with my dvx100a? I hear its not as good in the evening.

 

[Kevin Dorsey]

I think it looks pretty nice. How long did you shoot and what percentage did you speed the footage up?

 

[Zac Henke]

Well, that didn't not crash my whole computer, but from the first few seconds I saw, it was really cool!

 

[bluehaven]

Vampiresoup - I shot it for about 10 minutes but I don't think I used the whole ten minutes, I then changed the speed to 2000 percent then up to 6000.

Looks good to me . I agree maybe the light should of been covered but really didn't distract me that much.

looks good to me. the building hurts it though.

the way it starts with the beat is hot!

 

[bluehaven]

Thanks guys, I agree about the building.

Hey, what's that piece of music called? Someone sent me a little Flash game not long ago that used that music.

Cool clip, btw.

The music is air and the song is playground love.

Well, that didn't not crash my whole computer, but from the first few seconds I saw, it was really cool!

I am unable to see it. It has crashed my IE. Luckily not my entire PC. Anyone know what might be up with this?

 

[bluehaven]

I'm not sure why it is doing that, it is a quicktime 7 file.

 

[jeghead1]

this is a dvx website isn't it

what camera did you use

 

[bluehaven]

Yes this is a DVX site. I used a DVX 100B.

 

[Alex DePew]

I don't know what happened but I tried it again and it worked. Looked really cool. I like the stutter in the begining. And I agree about the house light.

Is there a way to shoot this to get more detail from the moon? It looked cool but I want to do something similar but have the moon be less bright. The bright moon doesn't fit the mood I'm going for.

 

[FilmMakerr]

yeah, looks real good, but that light of course, well you know.

 

[bluehaven]

See that is what I am wondering if you can get a shot like this and have more detail in the moon. When I closed my Iris the sky became darker and you couldn't see the clouds as well.

that looks good and personally i like the bulding. it brings some dimension to the shot and adds a little spice to the viewers imagination. without it, it is just the night sky.. at least the building made me wonder where it was and what story could be told.

i also like how it ramps on the beat. :thumbsup:
