A series of time-lapse shots created with a DSLR camera

This film is called 'Eclectic 1.0' and was created by Ross Ching. It is a series of time-lapse shots that was edited together and put to music. What's amazing about this film is that is was all shot using a digital SLR camera and then edited and pieced together using Final Cut Pro.

From the film maker:

This film I created by myself. It is a series of time-lapse shots that I edited together and put to music. Rather than using a regular video camera, I opted to use a digital SLR camera because it allowed me to shoot in ultra high definition as well as get the depth of field only available to film cameras.

Materials

Canon digital Rebel XT

Canon TC-80N3 Timer

Tripod

Quicktime Pro

Final Cut Pro

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the TC-80N3 doesn’t fit with the Canon Rebel, so I found this guy who makes a custom adapter for exactly this problem.

You can watch a higher quality version (in QuickTime) here and read how Ross Ching created the film.

There is also a second part of this film called 'Eclectic 2.0'
