In this article, we shall explain to you how to create a Drone Hyperlapse. This technique is very simple in its core but the result is very impressive and majestic. There is beauty and mistique in these videos. You create such a hyperlapse video by yourself. Just read and follow our simple tips and advises.
First Tip
First of all, you need to have a drone. The model is not so important, only to use ND top filters (Neutral-Density Filter). These filters prevent the photos from the sun and other meteorological factors when you shooting. Also, the drone must be stable so when you want to stay at horizon position to not get any disturbs. When you shoot from that position and the drone was stable, after that the post-production will be just stunning.
Second tip
Choose the location to produce hyperlapse. These may be mountains, open landscapes, rolling clouds in the sky. The wind conditions must be stable. This is a huge factor. The wind speed, the type of clouds above you, the foreground objects – buildings or mountains. All these factors gave influence to your huperlapse. If you choose these options carefully you can reach fabulous results.
Third tip - The drone settings.
There a huge number of variations. In this article, we will explain the Waypoints system. This allowed creating two points on your map. So the drone can fly from one point to the other, on one straight line or whatever you like. This is a truly effective way to do your drone hyper-lapse. In addition, you can use D-cinelike. This will correct the colors in post-production.
Start Shooting
Choose Point Number 1. You can have as many Waypoints as you want. In this case, we will choose 2 points. After that, we pick up the Second Waypoint. It can be at 500meters distance, or 1000, or whatever you want. The next setting is Speed. This is extremely important. When you perform Hyperlapse in the ground you can choose how faster to go. But in the air the setting of Speed is major. One speed of 2.5 km/h is a good decision.
Next is the Photo settings. Choose JPEG and switch 2 seconds option. The drone will take a photo in every two seconds. After the flight is finish, all these photos were taken will gonna be your drone hyperlapse.
So free your drone to fly and stay relax during this amazing process. After that pick up the CD-card and run to Postproduction.
The Postproduction process
You can use Power effects. This is a very powerful tool. So open your After effect and put all your shots taken during the flight. You can choose Import Multi files options and bring them all together.
After your program is finishing load them you can see the Hyper-lapse stunning product. We advise you to use Stabilizer to remove any shaking effects from the final result. The Warp Stabilizer in Adobe Premier Pro is a very nice instrument.
The process of shooting a Drone Hyperlapse is simple like steps but you need to test your own drone and just practice. With the often practice the great results won’t be late.
Enjoy your Drone Hyperlapse!
