At the end of this video, you will have the basic knowledge to build a slider to shoot a time-lapse video.
- As we established, this is about a half hour to set up,…so obviously you don't want to watch us do it in real time,…but Keith, there are several major components here.…And just explain the process…and we'll show folks what's involved.…- Well, the first thing you want to do…is you want to establish your shot.…Now when you're actually using the Kessler slider,…or using any kind of a time lapse,…you really want a foreground subject to move off of.…This is very important.…It's not just like you're taking a regular background shot.…You really want something to move off of.…So here we chose this cactus…and then we're going to use the background,…they got the mountains as our background subject.…
- I see we have two tripods here,…so obviously you don't want to just set this on the ground.…We need a nice, stable platform.…But it doesn't look like your tripods…are particularly level.…I guess it's okay in this case…to have dramatic angles, right?…- [Keith] We like to go up a little bit.…You can create much more depth in the image.…
