Timelapse photography is everywhere now, but other than to show the passage of time, it's rarely used as a storytelling device. Director Adam Anthony's short "The Maestro" was a finalist at this year's Tropfest, and finds a way to integrate the effect into the story:
Cinematographer Tony Gardiner shot the short on a Canon 5D Mark II using available light at ISO 1600-3200. Lenses were reportedly the L series 24mm t1.4, 50mm t1.2, 16-35mm t2.8, 24-70mm t2.8, and 70-200mm t2.8.

WOW, I can't believe you didn't win Tropfest with that. What a masterpiece of film making. In fact with all due respect it's quite an insult to you that the film chosen as winner was placed ahead of this wonderfully creative work of art. I am a film maker in Melbourne and very much appreciate the effort that has gone into making this.
Congrats, you are my winner by a long shot. Great work. Regards Peter

Excellent tho i thought the make-up was a little "over the top".
Acting was excellent inspite of it.

Once again, beautiful images, horrible film.

great work with the time-lapse storytelling. but bad direction of acting and costume: the bum's glasses should have been dirtier and the clothes more authenticly tattered. acting is comic-theatrical aka sketch-ish and wrong glances and wrong emphasis throughout.

Impeccable.
I am amazed how you get that perfect sharpness on the Canon 5D mark II?
Any software help to get that perfect lighting and sharpness?
Many thanks.
