In Creating 360-Degree Time-lapse Movies
onsdag 20. juli 2011 20:40

3sixtyIt's interesting how different photographers of today's time try to experiment with different media to further advance and hopefully create other style of digital photography. Potentially using and taking advantage of highly systemized digital tools, California based artist, photographer and programmer Ken Murphy succesfully created his signature time-lapse 360-degree movie earlier this month.

For those not familiar or new with this photography process, a 360-degree time-lapse video shows you a fixed scene at accelerated rate over time. The basic concept in accomplishing this video is to shoot photos at regular intervals then combine the frames into a movie file. Intervals can be anywhere from every few second to every half hour.

To give you more ideas on time-lapse videos, educational channels such as Discovery and Nat Geo are popular using this amazing media. Below is the flower of a geranium opening over a period of about two hours. The consecutive frames are 7 minutes apart.

Ken Murphy on the other hand, added spice to this process by editing the final movie to create a seamless 360-degree panoramic view. As he said in his blog, "Time-lapse movies are usually fairly static, but this makes it possible to introduce movement such as panning shots."

Murphy created two movies using different point-and-shoot cameras for each: Canon A590 and Canon G12. To program these cameras to take picture every five seconds, he used CHDK, Canon Hack Development Kit software on them. "The camera (a Canon A590 with CHDK installed) snapped an image every five seconds while the motorized mount slowly rotated, making a single rotation in 90 minutes.  I assembled the images into this panoramic movie, in which each “pane” is actually the same movie, slightly offset in time.  The panes combine to make a single 360-degree view," as he further explained the 360-degree time-lapse video process.
