Time-Lapse Fundamentals Workshop (April)

Thanks to this method of capturing a scene, we are able to speed up the time that passes to such an extent that we can illustrate something that would not normally be noticeable (for example: the relative motion of the stars; the simple movement of the clouds; the melting of ice cubes in a glass of orange juice, and so on.)

The first thing you need to know is that you don’t need a £2000 camera to produce a good time-lapse. Believe it or not, some of the best video clips were shot with a £300 compact camera.

The important thing, however, is to be aware of the fact that, while it is true that it only takes 3 hours to understand the fundamentals of creating a time-lapse, you must have a great desire to experiment and to learn constantly as time goes by in order to create a really good finished item. Practice will make perfect.

This is NOT a Beginner Photography Workshop. It is understood that you know how to use your camera as I will not have time to teach this on the workshop.

What's included;

• An introduction to Time-Lapse Photography and the principles of how to set your camera up.
• A short tour around Cams Hall. Setting up for [and executing] these shots will take time, so there will only be one location on this workshop.
• Tuition and guidance provided throughout the event, on both a one to one and group basis, to maximise your potential.
• Once finished shooting I will guide you through the steps I take to process and edit the images and create the Time-Lapse video. This second part of the course is classroom based.
• You leave with full understanding of the settings used and have the ability to replicate the same elsewhere.

Essential Gear;

• Camera and lenses - doesn't matter what you have. I can work with most camera manufacturers (I use Canon and Sony - So I will know more about them). If you have a wide angle lens, that would be beneficial.
• Tripod - Definitely essential.
• Camera Intervalometer - this is essential as we will be taking about 600 images. You may have this function in camera, so please read your manual. I won't have time to set everyone's camera up. If you require an external intervalometer, then please learn how to use it. I may not have time to teach this on the workshop.
• ND Filters - If you have any, bring them. We will be doing exposures from 1 seconds and if it is a bright day, you may need one.
• Food or means to buy food (This is not supplied on the Workshop) - snacks and water.

Non-Essential Gear;

Laptop (fully Charged) with an editing program (like Lightroom) and a movie making program (Like iMovie or Movie Maker). If you don't have this, don't worry, you may not be able to follow along, but I will be showing the process on my Laptop. This process is available in Photoshop, but it is limited. If we have time, I can show you this process too.

Anything else is a bonus.

Parking is free - We will be meeting at Serverhouse Ltd.
