Narrative

The city's pulse, the passing of a day, an energetic intro.

How it works

1Pick a fixed point; take a photo, step ~1 m, re-aim at the point, repeat 150–300 times.
2Stabilise in post (Resolve/Final Cut).

When to use

Event
Venue setup to doors opening, compressed into 5 seconds.
Social / vertical
City intro for a tourism reel.

Your kit

Needs gear you don't own yet.
Best option
Tripod for precise steps.
Or a gimbal's built-in hyperlapse mode.

A7 V + 24-70 settings

Manual exposure, manual WB and manual focus so frames don't flicker.

Mistakes

Auto exposure: causes flicker. Lock everything.

Drill

Make a 100-frame hyperlapse down your street.
