Wow, that’s great…ingenious way to keep lenses from fogging.

Wouldn’t get tunnel-vision over ‘timelapse’ in the title. As I see it; how to deal with extreme weather in photography/cinematography. Have done my share and a little ‘frost-bit finger’ tips to boot. Have climbed Mt. Katahdin and hiked the AT. Mt. Washington is wicked (weather).

I had a shoot once where we had the video camera mounted on the exterior of a helicopter, to shoot approaches and landings. The dry-run was anything but. The camera chilled up with condensed water on the lens, etc. Solved the problem and got the shot by wrapping the entire camera in bubble wrap, (for packing – with the smallish bubbles). An upcoming project involves placing a time-lapse rig in a lava-tube cave for several months to shoot cave growths. One or two frames a day, with flash (obviously!)

Sorry, but I just don’t agree, But hey, that’s just my opinion.

Timelapse isn’t used in narrative very often, but it is constantly used in television and documentary work. If anything, we don’t cover it enough considering the amount that is out there and how difficult it is to pull off a moving timelapse shot. If you look at it another way, less than 10 articles about timelapse out of 1000s of posts is a rather small percentage.

Of course it can be a tool. But it’s not exactly a staple like a dolly shot or a crane, so it’s just odd that there are about four or five articles on it on this website.

And FYI for the writers, this isn’t me straight up b**ching and complaining. Just a small harmless critique.

Its another way to tell a story, of course if you know how to apply the technique, being a filmmaker is just to solve a problem and a timelapse can solve you many problems

This is a great example of someone who really understands what he needs to do to get the footage he needs. I don’t know if I possess the ingenuity to come up with a set up like this.

That’s a really good point. I was just thinking about this when I came to the article. Timelapses are cool, but I’ve never really considered them viable for my films.

Is it just me, or does this website put an unusual amount of focus on time-lapse videos? It’s interesting but never really interested me from a filmmaking point of view.
