Timelapse Intervals
We’re getting ready to go back into the field for our last shoot on Beyond the Reef, and I just took a few moments to complile a data sheet that lists interval recording durations for some timelapse cinematography that I’ll be doing in the islands. If you’re shooting on a camera that records to solid state media and you can set an intervelometer, you might find this info helpful. The following is for 24p recording. Thanks to Vortex Media for their timelapse calculator (perfect for the iPhone)- I just wanted something I could look at with a glance in the field:
