How we made a 4K hyperlapse film

Back in Januar 2016 we released our second timelapse film called FRANKFURT MOVING II. The film is a mix of classic timelapse shots and more dynamic hyperlapse sequences.

We shot the film with a DSLR but not in video mode but in photo mode with an intervalometer to be able to use a higher resolution and to have better possibilities when it comes to editing because everything was captured in raw (photo files).

The 3 and a half minute video below gives an impression of how we made the film focusing on the hyperlapse shots:

While a lot can be achieved on location another big part of making a timelapse film is the post production especially when dealing with 5K raw files. Besides the color correction the framing and movement of the image can make a huge difference in how each shot is perceived by the audience.
