I sat at the top of Signal Hill in Capetown, South Africa a few weeks ago to shoot some timelapse for a video project I’m working on. In the process, I thought we’d bust out a video to demonstrate the possibilities. I explain in the video above. We shot a Nikon D3s, a Nikon D7000 and two GoProHero2’s to create four different angles. Enjoy!
The GoPros were stunning! Love the final timelapse -especially the GoPro hero 2 shot with the water off to the left. Thanks for the BHTS video, Chase!
I’d like to see these in color. That is where you’d see the dramatic difference between the vibrance of the DSLRs vs. the GPs.
Are any of the images worked upon or edited?
hate to say it but the Nikon footage looks crap compared to the GoPro.
What’s the issue with having the case on the GoPro that Chase referenced when he showed the first one gaffed up?
@Jive, The GoPro housings are notorious for fogging up. Even when you have a moisture muncher in them the tend to fog up after a few minutes of operation. This is often due to the camera heating up the housing on the inside. I found this to be a really problem when using the housing for shooting water sports videos in cold water but humid climate. It’s mainly due to the humidity of the air inside the housing. It can help to keep the housing near an air con outlet in the car with the air con at full blast just before you close up the housing. It seems to sufficiently dry out the inside.
