Curtin O Day Video from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

This is a time-lapse video produced for Curtin University orientation week to illustrate many of the buildings around campus. I shot this over three weeks using a canon 7D & canon 450D.

Music used:
Adrian Lux, Teenage Crime (Original Mix)

Main Lenses used:
Canon 28mm f2.8 prime
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8

To get many of the moving shots I used a time-lapse slider system that I custom built (I’ll try and put more info on that later). The other moving shots were animated zooms and pans in post production.

When I get some more spare time I’ll put together a behind the scenes video and blog.

Balcony Time Lapse from Luke Brooks on Vimeo.

This is my first shot at Time Lapse photography using a canon 450D DSLR and canon 55-200mm zoom lens. I didn’t expect it to be perfect first time. So I’m quite happy to admit some of the shots light levels were changing and my tripod was being blown by the wind creating a shaky video. I’m sure it will be the first of many.
I used cannon EOS software utlity with about 3 usb extension cables so it would reach my computer. Once I had all the photos I used after effects to composite them together into a video file. At this stage because I was shooting high quality jpegs it was around 4k (4000x4000pixels) which is alot really, too much in fact. I couldn’t even play the file so after a quick crop and export at 720p this is the result.
