![]() ![]() Top of my list because in the long run it will save you hassle, and in my experience, a lot of hassle! You need to plan. So to help anybody who's just starting out, or might need a bit more info, here's my definitive guide to filming a timelapse of the sunrise! Planning The trouble is with timelapse, I wouldn't know if I'd got my settings right until I'd stopped the camera and reviewed the pictures which would be, at the time of shooting, about two hours later!Ī lucky guess with a brief test I'd done the day before, I'd managed to nail the exposure and the shot turned out great From that point on I practised as many times as possible to get good at it and secondly, save my nerves! Fast forward ten years and I've seen and shot more sunrises than I've probably had hot dinners! ![]() Five minutes in and everything felt fine and all my training had paid off. Those last few seconds felt like an eternity as I lifted the camera up on it's pedestal and moved into position in front of the presenter to shoot the opening sequence. ![]() On the first day in my new job as a studio camera operator, I'll never forget that first time of the director's countdown in my cans of '5-4-3-2-1' and the red tally light appearing on my camera. As I started the camera shooting in complete darkness, the nerves kicked in which reminded me of the first time I did a live studio shoot, but kind of in slow motion! I'd shot many sunrises before but when it changes from hobby to work, there's an air of nervousness as you want to get the shot perfect. I only had one shot at this as it was fairly time-specific with various foreground artefacts that were required in-shot, so to do it again would have been pretty much impossible. ![]()
