We don’t often highlight showreels here on DIYP, but this one is pretty exceptional. It covers the ten-year journey of Matthew Vandeputte’s adventure into timelapse and hyperlapse so far, and it’s 3:45 of non-stop visual beauty.
It takes us on a journey around the world in epic fashion. We see all kinds of weather and different sequences were shot with a wide variety of timelapse techniques, many of which Matthew’s made tutorials about.
Hyperlapses became a big thing a few years ago. But they all started to look a bit samey. A lot of them are city-based. Often they’re just a highlight reel of the common tourist spots of that town. This one, though, is a little different.
Created by Dave Fanner, it follows the Canberra Centenary Trail. He wanted the opposite of a highlight reel. Unlike many hyperlapses today, this one actually tells you a story as it takes you on its journey.
There are a lot of gimbals on the market these days – with two more announced this week – but often, the humble smartphone gimbal can be the easiest to work with. This is especially true if you want to shoot hyperlapse videos for social media or YouTube. Sure, you can do these with a DSLR or mirrorless camera on a bigger gimbal, too, but they’re less strenuous with a lightweight gimbal and your phone.
There are many ways to shoot them, but in this video, content creator Winga shows us how we can make some using the Insta360 Flow (buy here). The video begins by showing us the final hyperlapse result he created, which uses a combination of stop motion and video, followed by breakdowns showing four methods used to create the different shots.
If there’s one name that often springs to mind when we come to the topic of hyperlapses, it’s Matthew Vandeputte. He’s been making content about hyperlapses for years and even shoots them for a living. In the past, he’s made tutorials on how he creates his hyperlapse sequences, but they’ve generally been Adobe based, in either Premiere Pro or After Effects. This is for good reason. They’ve been the best tools available at the time.
Lately, though, it appears Matthew’s been making the transition away from Adobe. So, he’s back with a new twist on an old tutorial showing how he creates his timelapses with DaVinci Resolve. It’s a complete start-to-finish tutorial, beginning with how to shoot the sequences so that you have a good starting point, all the way through to being ready to render the final sequence.
Instagram has quietly shut down two more of its apps. Boomerang and Hyperlapse have been removed from app stores, and you can no longer find them as standalone apps. Together with shutting down the IGTV app, this is another Meta’s step of focusing on Instagram reels as much as possible.
The last couple of years has been tough on us all, but especially those of us who love to travel. Well, even if we haven’t been able to get away, hyperlapse and timelapse photographer extraordinaire Kirill Neiezhmakov has started getting out and about around the world with this camera again.
In his latest video, he takes us on a whirlwind tour through Singapore. As usual, Kirill takes us on a journey around the city, showing off what makes it such a beautiful and wonderful place to visit.
Earlier this year, Kirill Neiezhmakov (the very talented timelapse/hyperlapse photographer) visited Singapore and we had the opportunity to meet up again. We visited several locations to check out the Singapore sights and sounds and some interesting places that are suitable for his personal timelapse project.
Timelapse is usually done on professional gear (such as DSLR cameras, motion control systems with sliders and pan-tilt modules, etc). All these come together to create the incredible visuals you typically see online. But it’s not for everyone. It is very strenuous to carry so much gear and can take a lot of time to set up and dismantle just one shot (not including the shooting time).
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a video from Matthew Vandeputte, but now he’s back with a good one for all you aspiring hyperlapse shooters that don’t have high-end cameras and lenses, gimbals, or other expensive and fancy gadgets.
During a recent social media meet up in London, Matthew borrowed a friend’s Canon EOS 200D (Rebel SL2) with the 18-55mm kit lens to provide us with some tips to show us how we can shoot hyperlapse sequences with very inexpensive equipment.
It’s been a while since we’ve featured work from hyperlapse filmmaker Kirill Neiezhmakov, but when I saw his recent film, Magical Places in Lisbon, I just had to share it here on DIYP. It’s a fantastic mix of hyperlapse, traditional timelapse, as well as realtime footage, which tells a fantastic story.
It’s quite different from the usual hyperlapse films we see these days and the mixture of footage at different speeds works really well. And, of course, especially when it has Kirill’s unique style applied.
We’re getting to a point where it feels like just about everywhere on earth has been photographed from every angle. And then posted to Instagram. That certainly seems to be becoming true for New York City, at least. And while we may feel like all photos start to look kind of the same, there are slight differences between each of the images.
These differences have allowed people like art director, Sam Morrison to create this 57-second Hyperlapse through NYC made entirely from 1,272 crowdsourced photos he found on Instagram.
