Every year between end of May and Mid June the City of Sydney turns up the lights and turns the city into a visual spectacular known as Vivid Sydney. Originally it designed to draw in tourists and help business during the cooler months and has grown substantially each year with the 2018 touted to be the largest to date.
This clip, still a working progress was taken last year in June over two evenings walking around the Sydney Vivid Light Festival starting from Darling Harbour and making my way into Circular Quay. I probably needed a few more evenings to catch everything which I will probably spend a little more time on this year.
As a photographer I usually just take a few snaps on a few available nights but this time I've been developing my video skills and techniques which is a learning curve despite having 17 years of photography experience. I had a YongNuo intervalometer sitting in my kit for over a year mostly unused except as a shutter release for a few times needed. I decided to test its capabilities a little more.
I set it with my Canon 5DmIII to take photos every 1 or 2 seconds which spread makes 1 minute fit into a 2.5 sec or 1.25 space at 24fps. I set jpg as my setting at a resolution just above 4k. The file sizes and amount of post processing will get ridiculous if captured in the usual Raw files so trying to get as much on camera saves time later on.
One issue I had shooting on the second day was the cord on the cable release decided to break/short. I had to almost manually trigger the camera which caused a little more shake/movements in the second half. Lesson here was to always have extra cables along with the extra batteries.
All the images I combined in Premiere and used a website called Artlist.IO for the soundtrack.
Soundtrack Title. Kick Lee - "A City's Call".
I still need to add some final touches when I get time but its my start into timelapse videos.
Let me know what you think.
