Timelapse by Hand
Over time I've modified and improved my homemade timelapse dolly. I've shot A LOT of timelapse dollies and I can proudly say I've clicked every millimeter of every camera movement by hand. Here is a peek at my rigs. And no I don't really have plans of upgrading to one of those awesome motorized dollies that all of those great companies are putting out. I'm running a business and I need the thousands of dollars that I'd easily spend on motorized dolly gear. I'll keep refining and enhancing my set up. Someday, I'll get bored enough to maybe break down and buy a cineslider or motorized system that would allow me to put the shot in cruise control. For now, I'm driving.
6 Weeks, 48 Characters, 60 Locations - Wenatchee Learns Video
Wenatchee Learns video consisted of 6weeks, 48 characters, and 60 locations. To keep things efficient I ran with little gear and crew as possible. I prefer and recommend working with a sound guy, but for this project it was essential to run my own audio. I shot the film with a Canon 7D and captured audio with a Sennheiser EW112-p G3 and recorded it to a Zoom H4n.
Colin Brine, (Executive Producer and Co-owner of BeClearly) and I roamed around Wenatchee and snatched all the little scenes that make up this narrative. Catching characters on their lunch breaks and even intercepting a few of them by chance out in the field made this project move quite smoothly, with only one character re-shoot.
