Motion Control Time-lapse

Lapses in Light is film born out of a desire to challenge myself to create moving image on par with the fantastic work from the likes of Ron Fricke. I wanted to push every aspect of my knowledge, and technical artistry, expanding the boundaries of what can be achieved on a minimal budget, using off the shelf hardware.

I have always had a fascination with the pace of man, and nature. The balance of subtleness and out right chaos. Time-lapse opens a perspective we can only see snippets of in our day to day lives, yet we all experience and can relate to the images portrayed. They are timeless, and appeal to almost everybody, especially me.

The shots in this video were made with my first prototype automated pan and tilt head, and shutter release control system. I was really excited by my initial efforts, and i edited them together for a college project. But they are not perfect, in-fact they are far from perfect, there are many inconstancies, jumps, and speed changes. Lapses in Light represents my orignal efforts from over 2 years ago, my technology and ability has greatly improved, so stay tuned.
