Drone Timelapse Tutorial

A distant New York skyline silhouetted against an orange sunset.

About this work

A 2016 demonstration of making an aerial time-lapse with a DJI Phantom 4. Kraig records the sunset, compares manual and automatic exposure, and takes the footage into Final Cut for retiming, export, stabilization, and color work. The finished examples show how exposure changes and small camera movements affect the result.
