See Now My Dark Canon 60d Test

I used my favorite DSLR to do this this test, the 60d. It is a time lapse of approaching storm clouds. Watch as the darkness descends upon the venerable houses. This is not really a Canon 60d test, as much as it is successful footage for my new zombie movie, which I am shooting entirely on the 60d.

But let me turn the table again and call it a Canon 60d test: any time lapse is like a test, the photographer is at the mercy of the elements. Why? You never know what you are going to get. That’s the great fun of it, not knowing. Sometimes you get great stuff you did not expect. The end result always surprises me even when I plan it out.

The theme of this Canon 60d test is the approaching apocalypse, evil dark clouds swallowing the landscape. Soon Zombies will infest the streets.

This test is made of pure raw footage. All I did was slap this footage together, which came straight out of the camera, no fades, filters, or effects. I learned how to do it this way thirty years ago. Putting the footage through effects generators just does not look the same as when you do the effects in camera. Its old school, like it or not. What can be done in camera, should be done in camera that's the old rule. This Canon 60d test needed three storms to create. Time lapse of this nature takes a lot of patience. Just look at the evil atmosphere moving in over the rooftops, all it really took was getting the right manual aperture.

Like anything you can see on YouTube the quality is way below the original footage. I guarantee that the finished project would look great on the biggest screen. I want to point out the dreaded time lapse flicker. That’s why I say every time lapse is like a Canon 60d test. The strange thing is that sometimes you get flicker, sometimes you don't. My suggestion to reduce the flicker is to use one exposure for every one second interval.

The fact that light is actually changing every second, but our eyes can not perceive these changes, when the camera can, this is one factor, but I think it has something to do with the camera too. Of course in the Canon 60d test you will notice the compression in the blacks, and later, in the fished movie, I would match the colors, contrast, and brightness, and crush the blacks a bit, but you get the idea.
