Test: Time Lapse





This is my first time in attempting time lapse movement on a scale as large as the moon. On a night when there was a clear full moon, I position my DSLR Cannon 100D on a fixed tripod and placed the shot in the apparent path of the moon in the sky. In 15 minutes the Earth rotated so that the moon passed from the bottom left of the frame to the top right.

Using Premier Pro, I increase the speed by x10,000. What was 15 minutes of real time turned into 10 seconds of time lapse footage.

I've done this because I want to use a shot like this in my film where the accelerated movement of nature can be mystified with the addition of appropriate sound design. This is to add the idea of visual language telling more of a story than spoken word; in the sense that the protagonist feels everything moving ahead of him as he is left behind to wallow in his sorrow.
