Time-lapse Filmmaking
Tuesday, April 1 from 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Over the past several years, Richard Power Hoffmann has perfected a new technique using a digital still camera exclusively to make films. The evocative time-lapse effects created gives the impression of being very costly, but in reality is well within reach of the most cost-conscious independent producers. This unique storytelling approach takes advantage of today's low cost yet high resolution digital still cameras to acquire better than HD resolution imagery, and then dynamically manipulate it in post-production.
