I agree with you. I used to take lots of timelapses and hyperlapses but never could find a way to incorporate them in my main travel videos. It felt like suddenly the flow of the story got disturbed. So currently I started shooting more normal 30 fps videos with ambient noises and dialogues and less of these fancy gimmicky shots to maintain the purpose of the video, because I shoot videos for myself so that I can watch them many years from now and recall those good moments. Without story, the hyperlapses will be nothing but another forgotten instagram reel.
They're great for intros or establishing shots or showing the movement of time, especially if you don't have a drone and don't want to fool around with having to think of which establishing shots you want to get and then chopping them up and sequencing in post. For example, when I did a review showing daytime and low light performance, I put a timelapse while I was waiting for it to get dark and it was perfect to show the movement of time.
Your entire video was a good catch, it happened to me many times, I took hyper-lapse in Go Pro and on my phone, and ended up not using it anywhere in the video, recently I made the same mistake using DJI Pocket 3 .
Vic I just received my Kondor blue recording device after waiting for two months only to discover that the cable is too short to fit my iPhone 15 pro max. I contacted Kondor blue in Canada and was surprised by the comment, oh! We are so sorry!!!!!! I had to buy another cable to make it work. It is awesome. What’s your comment?
One perspective could be - who cares about the story if you are having fun creating it - it may be better than watching someone create a story for story sake that bores them to tears - and hopefully your enjoyment in creating the hyperlapse comes across to the viewers... I think most of the great timelapse or hyperlapse segements I have seen are also supported with some great sound, interesting subject, and a good balance of other video techniques to complete the package.
Hey Jimmy, yeah. Fair point. Personally I don’t share the same perspective because story seems to be the thing that captivates us more than anything. And not just in video. It’s all aspects of life. Probably another way to word it at times is structure. To the point about the Timelapse and audio etc it’s all about creating a feeling essentially. And audio totally adds to the vibes you’re getting off watching a Timelapse. And that’s all people can strive to evoke. Is a feeling. An emotional reaction. And yeah, some stories are absolute crap. Hollywood should know. Cheers for the comment. 👍👍
Great video and great point about the "why" of a hyperlapse video. I feel the same way about slow motion. People want to have great slow motion tools for their cameras. But, how often do you really use slow motion? I think slow motion is highly overrated. It has its place. But, it comes up so often, yet, I hardly see that many slow motion videos show up on RUclips or other social media outlets. Anyway. Great content as usual, Vic. Thank you, sir.
I mentioned before that I was about to bite the bullet. Well, my Osmo Pocket 3 is scheduled for delivery tomorrow via UPS. Just in time for the weekend. Gonna be binge watching a lot of your how to videos. Thanks for convincing me.
I think Hyperlapses can be used.. Primarily as a transitional elements in the Story.. They can be used as a bridge from one location or chapter of your story to another ... To me they are very relevant if used correctly..
That’s a fair point however most people don’t really know when to use them. To be honest, how many of the biggest and greatest movies or tv shows will use Timelapses on a regular basis if at all.
Really? that's the catch? I'm going to shoot some video at an upcoming comic convention using my Pocket 3 for the first time. I am certainly gonna shoot some hyperlapse footage to throw into an edited video.... and there's not story intention behind it at all. Sometimes things are shot purely to preserve the event and to look back at later. I'm letting all the people dressed up and all the memorabilia sold be the eye candy and spectacle... there will be no story other than a chronological glimpse of things i saw. Having some hyperlapse footage will give some added adventure to the collage of footage. It doesn't always have to be vlog or cinematic storytelling.... sometimes using a camera's unique function can be simply serve the purpose of "scrapbooking" for an audience of one that wants to go back and relive the atmosphere. If it doesn't look cool or doesn't add flavor i won't use it but it isn't going to narrate or convey any story.
Hey. Yeah. I take the point. Audience of one. Absolutely. But a decent hyper lapse to even preserve an event needs some kind of thought. To be honest, the memorabilia and cos players would be better served without a hyper lapse. But whatever works for you. Have fun
@@VicBarry gotcha... maybe i was reading the title as a bit clickbait-y because i was thinking, "Dang, i just got this camera and there's a catch....?!" and i was thinking it was going to be something technical about the camera settings or something with the user features. To find out the essence of the video was a tip to use Hyperlapse sparely was a relief and let-down at the same time as that doesn't apply to everyone. I agree, to each their own. :)
4:00 - Story, Story, Story. It’s like Vic wants us to actually THINK about what we’re doing 😂
🤣🤣🤣 yep

Appreciate your pocket tree videos, thank you sir!
Thanks!
Thank you Norman. Too kind.
Please keep making more videos on the dji pocket 3 ! These have been awesome
Any suggestions about an Osmo pocket 3 video?
@@VicBarry Using in conjuction with Sliders? For example the mozilla slypod?
But what if I have Auto White Balance Fail? haha! Good stuff as ever Dr Barry! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
That never fails 🤣🤣🤣🇮🇪

Cheers. Yeah. But the main thing here is you knew not to use it and not just have it in there for the sake of it.

Hey Norman, haven’t any experience with Kondor Blue to be honest so I’m
Not familiar with the exact product….

Ah ok. Didn’t even know that existed to be honest Norman

Awesome. Thank you for the great advise. New Pocket 3 - 1 day old. Much to learn and then off to the wild west. God Bless and thank you again.
Great twist! Love it!
😀 Thanks

Awesome comment. Thank you
Does the OP3 still provide the individual stills in RAW format in hyperlapse mode ?
Great video!!
Thanks!
Great handoff to the next video!
Thanks Sean 🔥🙏
