I am out and about taking time lapses right now in Brisbane Australia with my new ND filter on my GH5 thanks to you Griffin! Awesome video thank you for sharing your secrets.
These are awesome! I've never liked the staccato nature of most time lapses, but I love the smooth motion (almost "time-warp" feeling) of yours! I'll have to try this!
These tutorials are so helpful! I just uploaded my first ever timelapse video (about the city of Bern in Switzerland) and without the help from these tutorials i could not have done it. Thanks!
This is simply the best tutorial video how to make time lapses from dslr or mirrorless cameras on RUclips. The most interesting part I like best is the nd1000 filter to slow down the shutter speed to 1/2" in daylight.
Another fantastic tutorial Griffin, thank you so much! I've dabbled with time lapse before, but use the sped-up video technique, which as you say does look glitchy. There's something magical and enchanting about time lapse and I loved the videos at the end, and appreciate you taking the time to share those - I've now got the sudden urge to get my Nikon out and try this style of time lapse for myself!
I stumbled across this vid and your channel quite by happenstance and I'm very glad I did. This is the best time-lapse tutorial I've found yet and your time lapse sequences are incredible. Thank you! I just subscribed.
This tutorial is epic - I literally used your workflow for my Australia travel video when creating time-lapses on my GH4. Thanks so much for this. Hope you do more FCP-X tutorials in the future.
Thank you so much Griffin! I never knew the gh4 could end timelapses manually! I also never knew how smooth a longer shutter speed looked. gonna be doing that from now on.
great video. I'm wondering now if I should have bought a panasonic gh4 over my canon 70d since I do a lot of time lapse. But I do still love my camera 70d, I can always buy an intervelometer so no big deal.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Reign Hugo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Reign Hugo DAMN IT REALLY WORKED! I just got access to my IG account details after about 40 mins of using the site. Just had to pay 15 $ but for sure worth the money :O Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
Lovely work as usual, hopefully i will be getting myself my first cam soon, always had to shoot with uni stuff which was a pain but looking forward to trying some of this out! time lapses make great intros and transitions in short films which is what im planning on using them for so this was right on time haha!
This is exactly what I was looking for, a how to time-lapse on the GH4. I was actually watching a lot of your videos again yesterday on the GH4 hoping to learn more about the camera and etc. Not much how to time lapse videos out there for the GH4. Yours is by far superb. Do you ever have issues with the live view not accurately displaying what the sensor captures? Exposure looks great on the display and histogram but when I snap the pic, its darker? I use the speedbooster 0.64x version and a sigma 18-35mm f1.8.
Unlike in video mode, in photo mode, the live view on the display does not show you true exposure-it auto-brightens or darkens to make it easier to see. But when you snap the photo, it shows you the actual exposure. But trust your histogram and exposure meter to see if you're too bright or dark.
Griffin, I want to Thank you very much. Everything that I know about Film Making it's because of you. BTW- I really liked this Time Lapse Mini Series. Keep it up :)
Awesome video, great info, nice short and concise very refreshing compared to alot of folks who drone on and on. I subbed, just getting into photography and videography. By the way your voice reminds me of Data from Star Trek TNG.
Great tutorials Griffin....can u tell me how to shoot timelapses with a digicam .can u make a tutorial on dat too coz i know a lot of people work with digicams and not dslr necessarily....
This was very well done and easy to understand. I realized I set my Gh5 photo interval to 10 minutes. Whoops. That was supposed to be the time lapse length. Thanks!
Thanks! This is what I was looking for. I turned off my camera when it asked me if I want to turn it into a video. Do you know if it's still possible or did I basically lose that chance
Hey Griffin! Since I didn't have access to an ND filter, I applied this technique to a night shoot that I was doing, and it worked so well! I did have a question about this though. If I were to take a timelapse that tracked the sunset, as it went from day to night, how might someone adjust their camera to find a balance with exposure? Thanks.
Griffin, I have a question I would really love if you could answer: I have a GH3, with a shutter count of 12,500ish. Do time lapses of this nature wear out the shutter? (I wonder because it's mirrorless), and how much shutter count until I should begin to worry about my GH3 breaking on me? I know you've had all the GH cameras; what's your shutter count experience? Because time lapses are quite photo-heavy.
Hi, Thanks for your videos. I am using Time Lapse in my GH5 to take self portraits on a tripod. I want to be able to take several shots without going back and forth and using the self timer which seems to have a max limit of 10 seconds. But I would like to be able to review the photos from the time lapse in my camera. Is there a way to do that? I can see the individual photos when I put my photo SD card into my iMac but I could not figure out how to view my photos right after I finish the time lapse and view the photos in my camera.
hey griffin - thanks for the vid! quick question for you... does that b+w filter vignette using the tokina 11-16 / speedbooster on the gh5? just about to order one from the b&h but wanted to double check... thanks!
Hi, and thanks a lot for this :) Can I ask if you are using the mechanical or the electronic shutter for your timelapses, and perhaps explain why you use one over the other. Thanks /Per
Hey Griffin, I loved this video. Do you have any tips on getting started with a slider and timer? I can't seem to find any good information on the equipment to purchase.
How do you go about shooting sunrise/sunset timelapses where the exposure changes with the GH5? What mode do you use and how do you get it to change exposure without manually doing it?
This one and the editing in FCPX are terrific videos! Thanks for sharing! The beard one was fascinating. You care to share how you did it? Also, I have a GH4 and will try to get everything as you described as well as FCPX so it should work out (up to the level of my expertise I might add :)
Hey Griffin, great video! I have a question about time lapse with both GH4 and GH5 cameras. I've had a couple time lapses I did that every other frame or so had shifted from green to magenta in the blacks and mid tones. Have you ever experienced this and how do you avoid it in the future? I edited the RAW photos in Adobe Lightroom CC, captured images on the camera using manual settings, custom WB etc.. Hope you can help, thanks!
So can the Panasonic G7 also do time lapse like this? That is does it have the ability to take 300+ individual jpeg pictures one after the other at preset intervals (like 1 photo every second) which you can then input into final cut pro and make a time lapse video from that? Thanks.
When doing day to night, how do you ensure there is no flicker as the light changes - bearing in mind you're shooting full manual mode. Thanks for the video!
Using a 10 stop filter how did you avoid the issue of IR pollution? On bright days I can't seem to avoid the issue and correcting the color for overly intense IR is all but impossible.
I noticed you were not using the electronic shutter? I've heard that it drops to 10 bit if it is used instead of 12 bit. If you have made them both ways do you think it really makes that much difference on the final output? Is shutter count that important?
I know I wouldn't notice the difference. I find resolution is way more important for quality than bit depth, so if you're shooting high-rez photos, it'll look great as video. I'm not worried about shutter count.
It's been several years, but I think I painstakingly created each number as an individual text graphic, then set the "Blend mode" (composition) to "Overlay" which gives the text that bright, clear appearance.
Griffin! I saw on your Instagram you posted a clip from this video. Can you do like a tutorial on how you export your videos to Insta?Whenever I try to post a video on my IG from GH3, the Instagram compresses the resolution significantly. Is something that I'm shooting wrong in camera? Or is it something on how I'm exporting.
Great video! Why do you film 30fps instead of 24? I have been filming entirely 24 up to this point, and I am not sure if I want to switch or not. What are your thoughts?
Time lapse the cooking is cool. Time lapsing flowers growing is even cooler. Time lapsing our entire lives would be higher than that. Time lapsing the entire universe would be the ultimate cool.
Quick noob question- wondering if anyone can help. With timelapses, do you keep all the settings for exposure fixed? For example iso. Or do you leave it on auto? I'm just thinking for scenes like sunrises, what would be the best way to capture it while light levels are shifting?
Oh my god when you made the point about 4:3 using the entire sensor my whole world exploded. WHY HAVE I NOT THOUGHT OF THIS. Like like like like like
Laura, you're living in a whole new, glorious 4:3 world now! Have fun!
I am out and about taking time lapses right now in Brisbane Australia with my new ND filter on my GH5 thanks to you Griffin! Awesome video thank you for sharing your secrets.
Wow, there is a lot more to time lapses than I thought. Or at least for a high quality time laps.
These are awesome! I've never liked the staccato nature of most time lapses, but I love the smooth motion (almost "time-warp" feeling) of yours! I'll have to try this!
Planning on buying that filter... I'll use your link. Great vid Griff!
These tutorials are so helpful! I just uploaded my first ever timelapse
video (about the city of Bern in Switzerland) and without the help from

Thank you for saying that!
I didn't need this video, but I was checking out your stuff and this is a very good and thorough tutorial. Solid work. Dango.
wow, that little bit of blur makes it look a whole lot better! thanks for the vid.
watched this on my mobile whilst out doing my first time lapse with a gh4. Such a great tutorial

This tutorial is epic - I literally used your workflow for my Australia travel video when creating time-lapses on my GH4. Thanks so much for this. Hope you do more FCP-X tutorials in the future.
Griffin thank you for great lesson. I am learning to create high quality videos before I hit the road for around the world trip. I add you to my list.
Thank you so much Griffin! I never knew the gh4 could end timelapses manually! I also never knew how smooth a longer shutter speed looked. gonna be doing that from now on.
Great work Griffin and thanks for sharing!
Very nice explanation, clear and precise even for a rookie like myself. Thank you
Awesome tips. This is the best explanatory video on time lapses that I've found on RUclips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Useful and awesome ♥ Thank you
Thats an impressive collage of timelapses sequences Griffin. Nicely done.
Thanks! They're all from videos I made on the Bloomberg Politics RUclips. Here's a full playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLAY14NVB179bri0EqGnL2Yef9el4J7OUO
Great job, Griff! Enjoyed both videos and have bookmarked them for later when I shoot time lapse! Thanks!
Back to the basics... Excellent! Thanks Griff!

great help. Its giving me ideas and motivation to get back to filming(hobby).
Great video - wish YOU had been my cinematography teacher
Thank you Griffin! This is just what I needed!
Really well done video! super informative
Extremely helpful. Thank you very much for this.
Great timelapse lesson.
amazing video! is it possible doing it on a vlogging camera?
This video brings back memorys from the indy mogul days, awesome video though Griffin!
Whats that
This video basically explains why Panasonic is great.
make Panasonic great again! LOL
And 43rds
Hey Griffin, great job on posting educational videos even while you are busy with the new job!
Keep it up! I like YOUR style of doing things ;)

Those time lapse videos at the end were beautiful :D I still take with me the skills you taught on Indy Mogul how to hyperlapse.
Griffin, I want to Thank you very much. Everything that I know about Film Making it's because of you. BTW- I really liked this Time Lapse Mini Series. Keep it up :)
The footage looks great. But would I be able to speed ramp the edit using this timelapse technique?
The best outro ever!!!
Awesome video, great info, nice short and concise very refreshing compared to alot of folks who drone on and on. I subbed, just getting into photography and videography. By the way your voice reminds me of Data from Star Trek TNG.
thank you for this video, now I know how to adjust my camera settings for timelapse
Great stuff, Griffin!
Amazing "tutorial" about how to get a good timelapse . Thanks
Great tutorials Griffin....can u tell me how to shoot timelapses with a digicam .can u make a tutorial on dat too coz i know a lot of people work with digicams and not dslr necessarily....
THANK YOU HAMMOND..UV EARNED A SUBSCRIBER.. I GOT TO LEARN A LOT FROM THIS..!!
This is perfect, I just got the G7. Looking forward to the next part!!!!
This was very well done and easy to understand. I realized I set my Gh5 photo interval to 10 minutes. Whoops. That was supposed to be the time lapse length.

Amazing stuff, Griffin. Thanks a lot.
Nice work！ Thanks！Learn more knowledge about time-lapse！

Griffin love your explanation keep it up
As usual, excellent.

Hi, you can use the green play bottom to stop the time lapse rather than switching the camera off and on again.

It takes time but worth it. 👍
thanks for explaining
Great video. Do you normally use a 1 second interval for all of your time lapses or does the interval vary based on the type of time lapse?
Hello, can you show me how to calculate time lapse? I have a Nikon d800. If I want a 1 minute time lapse, how long do I have to shoot?
Top freind, nice your explaine.
So can the Panasonic G7 also do time lapse like this? That is does it have the ability to take 300+ individual jpeg pictures one after the other at preset intervals (like 1 photo every second) which you can then input into final cut pro and make a time lapse video from that? Thanks.
Just looking at the top of the G7, it looks like it has the same time lapse dial setting, so I imagine it can.
Wow, your editing is amazing. Wonder how many hours you spend editing this. Nice job! 1 more sub here!
hi griffin. awesome content you have here! have you ever had to deal with change of exposure in your timelapse videos? how do you deal with them?

Exactly.
