Time lapse of clouds (Youtube video)

As some of you may know, I've been making nature videos for a little over a month now. I've gotten a lot better, but still a lot to learn and still need a lot more practice. I'm hoping to make this a job one day, either work for myself and do my own stuff...or work for National Geographic or Discovery. Which any of the three would be awesome :)

So...this is my second time lapse video. This one of clouds over a military base. I can see I made a few mistakes, but its a learning process. Hope you still enjoy it. :)

Not bad. It's fast forwarded, right?MigsPlusEight

Thanks for the comments. :)

And yeah, time lapse videos are pretty much fast forward. My camera takes a frame every 2 seconds, and then condenses it to what you see. Think that is pretty typical of time lapse videos.

I had a question. How can I deal with bugs flying around the camera? Would bug repellent work? I imagine they would still be flying around and getting in the way of the shots I took. In the video, you can kind of see the bugs (not the planes going by in the background) popping in and out of some of the frames.

Heh, well sort of a bump. ;P But only cause I want to know how to deal with insects in the future. And instead of making a new thread and linking to the video as an example, might as well just use this one :)

The problem when I edited them out, it just left black spaces behind where the bugs were. Maybe I need to mess with it more next time, but I couldn't get it before. Maybe the answer is to edit the frames that they are in and just remove it, but then the video will come out kind of jerky...hmm

Don't "deal with" the insects, EMBRACE THEM! Find a dead mouse and use that as your next subject instead of clouds and embrace the bugs coming in to eat the corpse :oops:
