Gus Frederick, a professional in the film and video industry for over 30 years, will walk through the creation of time-lapse video with a digital still camera and QuickTime Pro.

Moving Imagery that we see in TV and the movies started out as dozens of individual still pictures, repeated fast enough to give the illusion of motion. Most of the time, the pictures are recorded at the same speed that they play back. Changing this ratio one way or the other results in either sped-up, or slowed-down action. To speed up is actually quite simple, and can be effectively done with common consumer digital still cameras and a laptop computer. Indeed, using these devices allows for finer detail as well as increased control over traditional methods. This workshop demonstrates by example some of the different objects and scenes that take on an entirely new reality, simply by shifting time and sometimes space!
