Collected from m1.2mdn.net Apr 22, 2009 with the description: This is a movie I made for my friend Allen Tompkins of the music project Dark Matter Noise. This is actually an excerpt from a longer piece titled 'DMN'. I also used a very short snippet from another Dark Matter Noise song called 'Pulse'. You can check out both songs in their entirety on the Dark Matter Noise myspace profile: profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=155011574. I really appreciate the emails and comments I've received these last few months. I've gotten a lot of questions on whether there are any tutorials or books I can recommend for stop-motion or time-lapse photography. I pretty much developed my workflow through trial and error, but recently I came across a great video tutorial from 'This Week In Photography' which has really helped me out (vimeo.com/3340273). I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about doing a stop-motion or time-lapse project, but for what it's worth, here's what I did for this one... WORKFLOW: 1) All photos were taken with the Canon 5d Mark 1 using a 50mm 1.4 lens and the 24-105mm f4 L Kit Lens. 2) Photos were imported into Lightroom 2 for color effects and correction. I cropped all the photos to an HD 16x9 ratio. I also drew titles and animations on some of the frames using the adjustment brush. 3) I then created a 'Source Photos' folder to export my photos into. 4) When exporting out of Lightroom 2 in the export menu under image sizing, I checked the box for 'Resize To Fit' and chose 'Short Edge' from the contextual menu. Next to 'Pixels' I changed the number to 1080 (for HD) and kept the resolution at 300 'pixels per inch'. 5) After exporting my pictures to my 'Source Photos' folder, I opened Quicktime Pro. From the 'File' menu, I chose 'Open Image Sequence' and then clicked on the first photo in my 'Source Photos' folder (Quicktime Pro wont let you choose all the photos in the folder- just click on the first photo, and Quicktime Pro will know to combine the rest sequent.
