2 - Berlin Hyper-lapse

This video shows the result of a photographic journey to berlin from 12 may - 18 may 2012. I´ve spent 6 days in Berlin with excessive work, but the last 4 months were even harder. Whenever I had some time, I had to import and customize the NEF files before I equalized them with the great LR-Timelapse from Gunther Wegner. (Adobe Lightroom is necessary) The observed jpeg had then to be droped into virtual dub and were rendered as avi. When this was done, I had to stabilize the sequenzes manually frame by frame (AE motion tracker) and rendered each of them in 3 different sizes: (4928x3264 pixels, 1920x1080 pixels, 1024x768 pixels) Last but not least the snippets were edited fitting to the beautiful title "Diving Through The Blue" by the respectable composer and musician Valentin Boomes. requests for licensing footage: www.b-zOOmi.com facebook.com/b.zOOmi requests for licensing music: www.valentin-boomes.de facebook.com/ValentinBoomes.Composer equipment: -Nikon D7000 -lense 18mm - 105mm -lense 70mm - 300mm -simple tripod great thanks to Thanit Areerasd _____________________________________________________________________________________ deutsch: Dieses Video zeigt das Resultat einer Fotoreise nach Berlin vom 12.Mai - 18.Mai 2012. Ich verbrachte dort 6 Tage mit intensiver Arbeit, jedoch waren die letzten 4 Monate sogar noch härter. Immer wenn Zeit war, galt es die NEF Dateien zu importieren und zu bearbeiten, und mit dem wunderbaren LR-TIMELAPSE von Gunther Wegner anzugleichen, (Adobe Lightroom notwendig) anschließend als jpeg rauszurechnen, die jpeg danach in VIRTUAL DUB zu laden, die Sequenzen als avi rauszurendern, die avis manuell frame für frame noch zusätzlich zu stabilisieren, (AE motion tracker) dann jeweils in 3 Auflösungen (4928x3264 pixel, 1920x1080 pixel, 1024x768 pixel) rauszurendern um sie dann zu guter Letzt auf den schönen Titel "Diving Through The Blue" vom ehrenwerten Komponisten Valentin Boomes zu schneiden..
