So I found this posted along at TalkPhotography and I had to bring it here because its simply amazing.

Just watch them. I love how video/time lapse is amazing when combined with elements from the stills kit.

Amazing stuff. Thanks for posting it

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 17 Mar 2009 at 22:49

Yeah its amazing stuff.
Be sure to watch all the videos. Theres one scene which is mind blowingly gorgeous in the clip "The North Wind Blew South" with the sail boats infront of Sydneys most famous horizon.

That's impressive.

I keep meaning to do a video or two like this but dread the shutter count after just a few minutes. Anyone know what sort of FPS you need to do to get that sort of motion? About 10?

Awesome video!

Anyone know if the bloke who got knocked off the ledge and into the water was ok? lol :eek:

Didn't you watch the video? He was rescued lol. Reunited with his family.

Amp - I think 8 will just about do. perhaps less. You wanna slow the video to give a better understanding.

Amp34 · 18 Mar 2009 at 01:25

So around 500 frames per minute, the shutter is going to love this...

It cut away - I couldn't tell whether it was the same bloke. I supposed I should have just assumed it was though

Pretty sure you could shoot with a video camera and discard frames / compress the duration of the video. The result is not as high quality, but would do the job at web resolutions.

Surely it would be the other way, like 1 FPS if that. The whole point in time lapse.

best video I've seen on the web in a long time, awesome.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 18 Mar 2009 at 10:34

I personally wouldn't do it because its a hell of a wear on the shutter. You'll fire thousands doing that.
I wouldnt pass it up on the 5D though.

This is fantastic!, love it.
