The Making Of ‘Paris In Motion:’ How To Make a Hyperlapse

We were all stunned by Mayeul Akpovi‘s ‘Paris In Motion‘ timelapse a few months ago. A spectacle of incredible timelapse techniques, the video was awesome and had many of us trying to figure out how he did it. Well, Mayeul has come clean, and let us in on the little secret. Check out the surprisingly simple technique in this short video, which was just recently released.

How do you know how many time do you need to be on a certain spot before you move so that the resulting movie comes as smooth as possible? And how far should you move to take the next set of photos?

This is unbelievable! When I saw “Paris in Motion” I thought he had a huge dolly track or at least some sort of cart with minimal stabilization used in post. I am in awe that After Effects does such a good job. I need to start using it more.

and also not clear how do you manage focus!! auto or manual focus?? with auto focus you cant get such a smooth video( I think). and its really hard to work with manual focus, specially if you are walking with your tripod!!

Sweet that he doesn’t even use a rail or anything, seems pretty low tech but the results are awesome.
Ah, the track to BTS is The Glitch Mob, check them out everyone :) Also featured in this really sweet BTS Chase Jarvis vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ieQ-vRGeCQ&feature=plcp
