Timelapse: Stars

I tried to do a short timelapse of the stars yesterday.



Settings
Camera: Canon 7D

Exp.: 29sec
Interval: 5 sec
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: 160
Focal length: 18mm
WB: Auto

160 pictures

I simply forgot to set the White Balance to manual, which is why you can see flickrs from time to time. Also need to be better at getting the focus right. But then I've learned from that and can do a better job next time.


I read Timothy Allans blog, a great BBC photographer who worked on the Human Planet series. He did a great post about timelapse and specifically told about star timelapse. Check it out her --> BBC blog

New film "Running Scared"

The result of the Advertising and Video collaboration project.


We started the project in the beginning of November with the advertising student pitching their ideas to us. The "scenario" was that the advertising student were our clients, hiring us to make a commercial for them. The project brief said to create a viral for a smart phone. iPhone 4S, with focus on the new app SIRI, was chosen. We worked closely together to develop the idea and prepare for shooting. My role was as Producer for this piece.


"A film producer oversees and delivers a film project to all relevant parties while preserving the integrity, voice and vision of the film. They will also often take on some financial risk by using their own money, especially during the pre-production period, before a film is fully financed.

The producer is often actively involved throughout all major phases of the filmmaking process, from inception and development to completion and delivery of a film project. However, an idea or concept for a film can originate with any individual, including a screenwriter, a director or a producer."

Like it says, my responsibility was to ensure we stayed on track. I also obtained and filled out all contracts, model releases, location aggreements etc. I really enjoyed the role as producer, cause I got to work with all the amazing in the different "departments". Even though it's a small student production, everyone still got their roles. One has got a hand in everything, overseeing the whole process.
