1st timelapse with a RED ONE…a tribute to Gotham City.

Click HERE to watch the Gotham City RED ONE time lapse test

Last night of the “Musicbox” short film thesis production I decided to take advantage of the incredible view and had the opportunity to set up the RED to test one of features I have been meaning to get to, time lapse. Most pros will tell you a high end professional digital SLR will yield the best time lapse results since you have more control over exposure times, larger sensor etc but after doing this test I know now for sure RED can handle the task of time lapse. Sorry for the watermarks, got to protect your investment as I plan to sell this as stock footage.

Hit the jump for more info on this test.

What I would have done differently? Slow it down, I would have prefered 1 frame captured every 5 seconds or even every second so I can then speed it up to my preference in post.

Lens used: Zeiss 16mm Superspeed

Camera: RED ONE

ASA: 320

Shutter: 1/33

Capture settings: 1 frame every 16 second

I will post two stills extracted from the time lapse, the 1st one is not altered any in way what so ever and the second one I bumped the exposure, ASA settings, and tweaked the colors a bit in REDALERT.
