Articles about "oberstdorf"

Finally here is another video I just finished after some long weeks of tweaking TimeSmoother, my Lightroom timelapse plugin, and rendering timelapses. “A fast look on Oberstdorf” is a collection of timelapse clips I shot while I was on holidays in Oberstdorf.

Next I’m going to create a Video containing some of these timelapses combined with some of the video clips I shot.

All shots are RAW DSLR stills, most of them shot on the Sony Alpha 850, some on the A77. I edited the images with Lightroom and TimeSmoother, my timelapse plugin for Lightroom, and then rendered them to 4K ProRes 4444 with AfterEffects. This video is cut in Premiere and slightly graded in SpeedGrade to finish. This project again showed me, how slow Premiere is and how bad the Workflow with SpeedGrade is. It’s no fun that Premiere exports all movies as DPX files when sending to SpeedGrade although SpeedGrade is ProRes compatible. I had about 160GB of DPX files for 3 minutes at 4K with 35MB per file.

I’ll soon publish some more information about TimeSmoother and offer an alpha version. With this I’ll present my improved workflow to give an usage example.

September is here and I’m really happy that after many long months now a month of holiday is here. While writing this I’m in Oberstdorf in the German Alps where I’m staying until Saturday. I’m here to enjoy the nature and of course shoot some timelapses and video. It’s cool to be back here after two years since my last stay here. I have some cool material and hope to finish some edits shortly after coming back home.

At home I have two days until I’m leaving again for a short trip to Photokina in Cologne where I’ll be on the 19th September. There I’m planing to try out some coole gear and of course meet some cool people from the community like Nino Leitner, Sebastian Wiegärtner and Philip Bloom.
