what a great piece of work.

cough*gay*cough

Good video, but dubious as to wether a Canon 20D was used. More likely video footage thats just been sped up!

But I could be wrong  :mrgreen:

Correct, however as these are all night shots, youd need exposures probably of about 5 seconds or more for the traffic shots (depending on the ISO and lens used of course), and probably 30 seconds or more for the pitch black plane shots, otherwise youd just have lots of dark photos

With that in mind, certain parts of the film seem unlikely to be captured, as the timescale they represent would be covered by only one actuation of the shutter, not many, making stop frame animation impossible.

But like I say, I could be wrong!

First ones are evening, not night.

There are problems with doing this with a video camera, it will *look* speeded up. This does not have the effects of that kind of manipulation so its at least 99% that they are telling the truth. It would be easier to do it with the 20D and computer control from a notebook anyway.

its a laptop controled 20D in time lapse mode. The 20D has pretty good high ISO performance so no reason youd need more than a half second exposure tops.

I could do the same thing with my *ist if the mood took me, but because its a cheaper camera the buffer would give out pretty quickly at these frame rates. The 20D has a nice big buffer so could sustain it for a long time if not indefinitly

Im not doubting the 20Ds ability to perform time lapse photography. Im just questioning the conditions that some of the photos were taken in, and therefore the ability to produce a shot still enough to then be combined with other stills in order to produce a time lapse video.

Ive taken photos before in similar conditions to the plane landing section, i.e. near pitch black. With ISO 3200 and an f1.8 lens I still required exposure times of 2-3 seconds.

Its probably just the cynic in me, Ive seen so many fake, or mis described videos on the web that I think I just have an inherit need to query anything I see on youtube, google video or break.com  

having looked at parts of this larger vid I think I can happily say it is legit.

We told ya so


TBH it aint worth faking that one

go to the canon website should be able to download it from there, if not it should be on your cameras cds.

It works with my mates 350d so should work with your 300d.
