Different Types of Time-Lapse Videography

Aurora time-lapse videography is a great filming technique that is commonly used for a variety of reasons. There are so many different styles of time-lapse photography in Aurora now being incorporated into filmmaking, so you can be sure to use it for your projects, however you like. Take a look at these different kinds of time-lapse videography that are commonly used in films today.

At Beverly Boy Productions, we often like to use different styles of Aurora time-lapse videography into our videos based on what our clients are looking for when it comes to full-service production and time-lapse video services.

Here are 8 of the most common types of time-lapse techniques that we offer at Beverly Boy Productions.

1.  Basic Time-Lapse Videography

With the basic time-lapse shot, camera and settings are fixed. The concept is to capture the scene over a period of time so that you can then show the footage over a period of time. While it’s not particularly special, it’s a great tool for capturing anything from sunrise to sunsets, moving traffic, and more. 

2.  Hyperlapse Videography

Hyperlapse videography is a more technical kind of Aurora time-lapse videography but it provides a “hyper” look for your videos that can be done well when it’s done right. It’s typically accomplished by pointing the camera at one point, regardless of what may be going on around it. The shots appear like they’re the same to the previous ones, even though it’s been moved from one point to another. 

3.  Plant Timelapse Videography

As it sounds, plant time-lapse videography is a technique that consists of capturing growth over a period of time. You’ll want to commit your camera to this type of time-lapse over a period of weeks or months, based on the growth that you want to capture. 

4.  Holy Grail Time-Lapse Videography

Many kinds of Aurora time-lapse videography can be difficult to capture, especially the holy grail time-lapse which calls for talent and skill to achieve. This type of time lapse is used at sunrise or sunset with the idea to adjust exposure settings just right. The end result is a flickering sequence. 

5.  Aerial Hyperlapse

This is something that is used to describe the type of time-lapse photography captured from the sky, whether from drone or plane. Aerial hyperlapse uses shots taken from the air, while having the camera constantly positioned a set way on a particular point and everything surrounding it while shooting from various points.

6.  Astro Timelapse

A technique used at night and filming from a dark place, the astro timelapse is one of several types of time-lapse videography that consists of filming astronomical scenes and events in the night sky. Astro timelapse is often called astrophotography or astrovideography.

7.  Focus Pull Time-Lapse

A form of time-lapse videos that involves pointing at the focus ring and helping you to adjust and add axes as you go, this advanced form of time-lapse is often used with control time-lapse videography.

8.  Motion Control Aurora Time-Lapse

Motion control Aurora time-lapse video makers requires a lot of gear to achieve but with this Aurora time-lapse videography, motion control time-lapse results in some fun-to-use shots.
