Talk:Hyperlapse

Breaking Bad/House of Cards

Is the technique described in this article the same as used in the opening of House of Cards (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoUytTuWyR8) and frequently in Breaking Bad (no examples)? Just wondering. Thought it could be a good addition to the article, as to provide well known examples of the technique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajvp15 (talk • contribs) 02:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect definition?

The article defines Hyperlapse as "an exposure technique in time-lapse photography", and goes on to describe it as video where the camera changes position over long distances. That doesn't seem correct to me. 1) It is a post-production image manipulation technology, not an exposure technique. 2) You can have video where the camera changes position that is NOT Hyperlapse. In fact, it is the common case. I don't feel confident enough to edit the article myself. --Leotohill (talk) 18:43, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

What the heck, being bold, I edited. --Leotohill (talk) 19:24, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Quotation: "The camera is typically aimed at an exactly defined fixed point on which it rotates around, while being moved over large distances." This seems to be a rather narrow definition. You can get hyperlapse effects by moving straight forward as the new demonstration videos by Microsoft et al. show. --91.65.104.31 (talk) 01:30, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Hyperlapse

@Spacetimetraveler:, I undid your edit to hyperlapse. A link to a video named "hyper-lapse" by the person who supposedly first used the term does not prove the statement that this person first used it. What you need here is someone else saying about Dan Eckert that he first used the term hyperlapse. Sources by a person should usually not be used to in statements about that person. Hope that helps! Best, --Zoeperkoe (talk) 20:18, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Proper Citation

In the first paragraph it states "The first film using the hyperlapse technique dates to 1995." I have a hard time believing this to be true considering time-lapse's have been around since the end of the 19th century. Proper citation should be provided or else this comment should be removed.

Pringlebits (talk) 00:38, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

@Pringlebits: The citation for this claim is in the first sentence of the History section (article leads usually don't contain citations, as they are only summaries of what's in the rest of the article). I agree with you that the claim is very questionable, but good external sources on hyperlapse are extremely rare. Best, --Zoeperkoe (talk) 13:55, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Merge with timelapse article?

It is just timelapse with moving camera or the changing subject. It is timelapse, nothing special. I find it dubious to claim that it was invented in 1995 or something (it probably was used even in 50s, if not earlier). The boundary between classic timelapse and hyperlapse is very fluid and blurry. In classic timelapse camera is stationary or moves slowly. In hyperlapse it moves or zooms faster, as it moves, it can move in any direction forward, backwards, rotate to keep a subject in same place or not during movements, etc. But all in all it is the timelapse, uses similar timescales, same methods of exposure, and processing. hyperlapse got more popular recently mostly because of 1) availability of motion stabilization, 2) easier stabilization in post processing, 3) drones and remote controlled mobile devices, 4) plenty of storage space to capture 1000s of frames for processing, 5) dashcams in vehicles becoming popular. These days hyperlapse can be captured even with just a smartphone. But same applies to timelapses. I think it should be merged into timelapse, and just mentioned in 3-4 sentences. 81.6.34.246 (talk) 19:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

As an editor who has helped clean up this article, I would be fine with a merge. But I'm also fine with these two articles existing next to each other. The hyperlapse article is decently sourced and it's more to the point than the article on timelapse which is a bit rambling and out of date. So if anything I would first clean up the article on timelapse and only then look if hyperlapse should/could be (re-)integrated. --Zoeperkoe (talk) 08:02, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
