Breaking Bad has used this effect a couple times, and it’s very impressive.

Looks like he used the Dynamic Perception Dolly in combination with a pan/tilt-head for astrophotography (I don’t know which brand).

Looks like a DP 0 with a merlin head.

This looks great, and the motion adds to the effect. You see the content and think — timelapse. You see the motion and think — real-time. It’s the cognitive dissonance caused by those two opposing viewpoints that makes it even more interesting.

The one thing I would say is that the fast-moving objects, such as the birds on the lake, or leaves swaying in the wind, always distract me in timelapse movies. They don’t look right. They break the illusion. They take away from the dignity of the timelapse. They are so obviously an artefact of the fact that the shutter speed is much below the interval between shots. If only timelapse moviemakers would use integration method (shutter stays open most of the time), with neutral filters to reduce the light to a manageable amount.

I recall seeing this video a month ago and seeing a set up shot somewhere. But I do believe aside from the regular motorized slider and tilt/plan heads Jess actually used a astrophotography tracking mount (equatorial mount) to get a lot of the shots more specifically the rotating shots.

a timelapse dolly + motorized pan/tilt head I would assume.
