Update 5 - Infrared!

Today I started editing my time-lapse video. While editing it was suggested I do an infrared effect on the some of the shots. I followed the tutorial below of Dave's to learn how to create the effect. And I then did the same but in after effects instead of photoshop/



I am only using this effect on a couple of the shots and actually only on the sky section and i will mask the sky so the effect only affects that area within the video.

Later on I was looking on Vimeo to see if their has been any infrared tim-lapses created and found this one by Philip Bloom a former Sky News cameraman who is now an independent filmmaker.

This was shot on a Canon 5d mark 3 which has been specially adapted to shoot infrared.

While looking at this particular video I found a teaser for another timelapse he has done although the final version is not released at the time of writing.

I like the tilt-shift effect used at the beginning of this video and would have liked to try something similar. This would require a tilt shift lens which are not cheap. Although I have seen ways to fake this effect I don't personally feel that they give a good enough result.

Below is the After Effects composition for the final shot of the video. Showing the masks and multiple layers used.

Here is a short preview video of the final shot at the moment there is some flicker in the clip which I am working on fixing.



I have found this tutorial to try fixing flicker as the brightness change only affects one frame at a time so this may work. I am going try it when I get chance.
