For a variety of reasons, we're putting together some demo reels of the timelapse motion work we've done over the last few years. Here's the first one, all 1080p work done between 2019-2020. Be sure to watch on a big screen with the volume turned up!

This is a series of experimental short animations, both improvisational and interpretive, serving as variations on a theme for a single piece of music, in this case…

And, yet another line of experimentation we've got going on here at The Wolfbird: reflection tests for various forms of timelapse. This is just the beginning. We're using old 1080p footage at this point, but we're headed for 4K soon, and there's no telling what we'll be able to come up with. We're tweaking various forms of speed and interval, as well as how to compose shots to take advantage of the possibilities for reflection.

Just trying out a few effects to create a particular look and method for more timelapse creation options...

We're still experimenting with defocused hyperlapse as a form of painting, and we've upped our game to 4K from 1080p. This is the same music from Chopin, and it's the next (No. 01) in what we hope to be a long interpretive series of this music.
We've still got some tweaking to do before we consider Fantaisie Impromptu, No. 01 to be complete. What do you think so far?

This is another compilation of defocused hyperlapse footage captured in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and set to the music of Frédéric Chopin, in this…

Here's another avenue of experimentation we're exploring here at The Wolfbird: using hyperlapse as a form of painting. This one is set to music composed by Frederic Chopin.
It's an assemblage of HD1080p footage, and any future explorations will be in 4K, most likely, unless the equipment can't handle it. We'll see.
