HyperZooms are a great way to show the viewer a detail of your time-lapse shot. This is where you use two different shots—one close up and one wide—and zoom from one to the other. In this video, author Keith Kiska demonstrates how this technique creates a great transition effect that can help you fly through your scene and even tell a story.
- Now that we've gone pretty in-depth…with zooming and motion, let's talk about HyperZooms.…This is where we are going to use…two different shots shot at the same time.…One close up and one wide, and zoomed…from one to another in After Effects.…It creates an amazing transition effect…that can help you really fly through your scene,…and even tell a story if you plan it out well enough.…One of the first strategies you want…to do when shooting a HyperZoom…is make sure that while we're shooting…our actual time lapse, we're using two shots.…
We're shooting one shot, I have some examples right here…I'll show you of Quebec, or Quebec, that we shot last year.…And as you can see here is our closeup shot.…And at the same time we also ran…a shot right alongside it, a wide shot.…And we made sure to match…almost all the settings, everything we could.…The only thing that was a little bit different would've been…how the camera treats a wide angle lens versus…a telephoto lens, and the difference in the F-stop,…and stuff like that that you can't really help.…
