Producing astounding hyperlapse videos can be extremely beneficial for any production, especially if you want to take your commercial work to the next level or just make your personal project stand out from the crowd. Shooting a hyperlapse can be a little bit daunting though, so knowing the ins and outs of the process is a mandatory premise for success.

Rob and Jonas the creators of Rob & Jonas’ Filmmaking Tips have put together an excellent hyperlapse guide that covers everything one need to know about the process by revealing some of the basics of their personal workflow. In the video tutorial ahead the filmmakers not only show how they capture still images for the hyperlapse sequences, but also include a section revealing how to process these raw files in Lightroom and After Effects.

All in all, this technique is much like the moving time-lapse on a slider, except the camera moves over a much larger area, yet you need to follow a few simple rules to make this work for you. First, pick a solid, stable tripod. Flimsy tripods tend to shake slightly, even with a small amount of wind, causing a jitter in the final video so keep that in mind.

Set your camera settings accordingly and compose your shot. Use a Remote Trigger if required. Then by moving with one foot further try to maintain the framing of the shot roughly the same as the former one by using one or more of the focus points that you see in the camera’s viewfinder as a reference.

Make sure that you are using the manual settings of your camera and you’re shooting in Raw for greater control over the images later in post. Typically, you’ll want to lock the ISO, white balance, focus and exposure settings on the camera. Further, if you want to add motion blur to your hyperlapse video to make the movement look more natural your shutter speed needs to be approximately double the number of frames per second of your final clip. Besides these recommendations, follow the conventional rules for shooting a timelapse video.
