Great idea - B & W time-lapse

Postby Ron Hunter » Tue Nov 18, 2014 8:45 pm

Maybe it's just me, but I never thought of doing a time-lapse in B & W. Okay, this video was actually done in "near infrared" according to the Vimeo description, but I still think a B&W time-lapse would be cool:

Desktop: HPE-580T, i7-950 (3.07GHz), 16GB RAM, Win'7 64-bit Home Premium, PSE12/PRE12, Lightroom 5.
Laptop: MacBook Pro (retina), 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5.
Cameras (in use): Panasonic GH4/Canon HFR400/Canon HV30, GoPro HD Hero2.

The video is fantastic, fabulous framing.
The artists are very fine, they seem to narrate life and death as one thing.
I see energy become mass and vice-versa in a never ending cycle.
Although the plastic of shapes is amazing, black and white lacks the fine details game of light can show.

I love "These things take time" by Leonardo Luca Dalessandri too (a director from Parma, the town I used to live in for five days), where b/w timelapses are contextual in a way of life storytelling:

Love them both Ron & Francesco. The first one was shot on RED camera and the quality shows. Here is a B/W long exposure film you may like.

Great movies but I still prefer color. Am I alone in this?

It depends on what one wants to express or to create.
I immediately perceive that some missing alchemies make definition lack, as in the leaves on distant trees in the first, fabulous video.
Maybe in photography it doesn't occur and it is a matter of movement, flickering or sparkling.
Anyway, I think there's always a reason why choosing black and white.

Thanks Mom, that was amazing! His "The Hidden World" was beautiful.

Yes I prefer color too but B/W (or infrared) is a really cool effect.
