General Almost 40 Miles In 40 Seconds

I think this turned out a bit trippy...

Why not fast forward a video instead of lacing photos? Would've come a bit sleeker

Why not fast forward a video instead of lacing photos? Would've come a bit sleeker

A couple of reasons.

First, shooting moving shots takes up more space and drains a battery quicker.

Second, blending time lapse photos can give a visual effect that moving footage does not capture. Most common is capturing footage while riding in a straight line and the clouds shift across the sky. In this footage, the effect is if the viewer watches the fairing, then the landscape tends to melt and grow around it.

What settings did you use, how many seconds between shots?

The footage was shot on GoPro Hero 4 Silver. Setting was time lapse record on 4k every 10 seconds.

The camera was mounted just above my eyes that day. I was fighting a day long migraine and had popped an Imitrex so I decided to take the easy way and not chance the slightly more weight of an additional battery pack on the camera. So since battery life was minimal, I went time lapse to conserve power plus I was not worried about audio capture.

I then used the GoPro studio and after rendering, uploaded the footage to YouTube. Next day I was still hurting so I decided to monkey with YouTube for editing as I was at my day job and not really able to concentrate. I had found a track I liked so I adjusted the playback setting to 4x and the added the track. Just messing around you know. However, once I watched, I noticed the morphing and went with it.

I have another time lapse from a different view and used Adobe Premiere 15 for rendering and playback speed adjustment - it will be out tomorrow for my subs and I will spread the word Thursday on social about it.

Spoiler - it did not get the morph effect. It also did not have a watery looking thumbnail so I am thinking the other combo of programs for editing made the effect.

Or else I stuck the meds in the camera and swallowed the battery...
