My adventure with timelapse cinematography started in 2009. I would never forget when I watched “The Planet Earth” on a huge wall and was thrilled by stunning motion-controlled shots of growing plants or decaying forest on the ground level. Much earlier in the past I of course watched “Kooyanisqatsi”, but that days I did not have skills in digital imaging and wasn’t devoted to visual creation at all. The film was of course mind blowing, but my recpetion was driven by a completely different perspective. After watching “The Planet Earth” I started wondering how did they shot all this and started digging through the Internet. I was completely blown away and got into timelapse seriously. Today, after mastering many aspects of shooting timelapse I decided to share my skills and help to popularize the subject.
