Time Lapse films

From what I gather, they use some form of movie rails with motorised pan and tilt heads that can be programmed to move over hours.

Some of the pans and tilts are very smooth - any ideas how? I'm guessing a track of some kinda with fine markers on it, or maybe a motorised rig that moves a mm or 2 between shots. Sure he can't be moving by hand unless he's spending a lot of time after realigning all the frames?

Most of the motion control for this video was done with the Stage Zero Dolly by Dynamic Perception.

Thats what he says in the description. Would love to know how he gets so much detail of the stars, I know it says HDR but I thought you needed more than one image at different exposures to do HDR? Cant seem to work out how he would make a HDR image out of images shot for timelapse?
 
I thought this was a new thread, saw the video and thought this is absolutely amazing, but I'm sure I've seen it before! then looked down and saw my previous comments :rolleyes:.
But I'm just thinking, its amazingly smooth the footage and even when there are people around it looks like a video that has been sped up, must be multiple pictures per second to get such smoothness!

Nothing stopping him taking, say 3 images, instead of 1 at each interval.
 
I'm slightly conflicted about dumping this video in this thread. However, I don't know how busy a "Post your own timelapse" thread would be.

 
Nice bumps! (not being sarcastic)

I really need to get around to trying timelapse. Will have to look out for an intervalometer.
I reckon some timelapse long exposure footage of fireworks could be interesting to try.

I'm not sure whether I'd make the most of a Radian when they come out. Will have to experiment with the cheap and cheerful options first! :p
