Question on hyperlapse

[RyanKhoo]

Hi hyperlapse experts,

Does this method of doing hyperlapse without tripod but stabilize it in post frame by frame using the tracker function in AE works ?

Looks tedious to go thru all 400 (or whatever numbers) photos but then adjusting in post in the comfort of home may be easier than doing it with tripod ?

What is your take on this ?

Thanks

Concentration is needed for this method. But results looks good. Warp stabiliser is essential and morph transition can smooth out jump cuts

Depends on your own preference really. It's the age-old question: Do as much as you can in camera VS spend more time doing editing. Up to you

Looks like a good solution if you don't have enough time onsite, or can't deploy a tripod for practical reasons. But it doesn't look like a 'shortcut'. You just shift some of the effort to later? But if you're the kind of person who likes to spend more time shooting than editing, then you may find the time stuck in front of a computer (even if in the comfort of your own home) a total bore and torture cos all you want to do is go out. Haha.

Pick your poison. In general shooting hyperlapses (either with a tripod or with this guy's method) look quite tedious to me. Think I don't have the patience for either, so the shooting doesn't appeal to me either way. Happy to just watch what people shoot . Even normal timelapses I also find very tedious. :bsmilie: So I just shoot other things I enjoy.

Thanks for sharing this. I cannot wait to try this out!

Maybe cameras with EVFs and level overlays could assist in tilt/pan framing, but nothing much can help left-right movements in the hallway example he gave.

My mindset would be the same as shooting photos. Get it right as much as possible during capture stage and hopefully, it will be easier in post. Depending on the scene in use, have tried doing manual stabilizing in post after shooting using tripod. It can still be really tedious to stabilize. Other tools that might help during capture could be a monopod or dolly, with its own pros and cons. An alternative during stabilization in post would be to try multi-pass stabilization. Kind of hit and miss as well. Just have to try and see what works out.
