TimeLapse Works for the 4-Part TV Series "Bavaria from above"
Wed, Apr 25 2012 11:44
| News
For the four-part TV series "Bavaria from above" to be aired 2013, I am in charge of TimeLapse scenes as a special unit in cooperation with German CamPilots. "Bavaria from above" paints a unique view of Bavaria. The goal is to focus all senses to special places: Locations, Buildings, Mountains, that all develop their beauty during TimeLapse cinematography. Additionally a well woven storyline with carefully selected local protagonists and their individual stories gives a strong emotion. Production runs until End of 2012.
All the best

ESO Chile Trip to Paranal and Atacama Large mm Array
Mon, Nov 28 2011 01:56
| News
Howdy,
I recently got back from an awesome photo expedition to Chile that took two weeks.
Image by: Babak Tafreshi / Twanight.org
Mission goal was to capture timelapse- as well as stills footage of the huge ESO projects / facilities Cerro Paranal and ALMA at the Atacama Desert, the words driest place.
Joining on that trip were friends Babak Tafreshi of Twanight.org and in the second week Stephane Guisard of Los Cielos de Americas (Head of Telescope Engineering at Paranal). It was a great experience travelling and photographing with these true masters of astrophotography!
The expedition was the most extreme assignment I have ever done, including
- two weeks of all night footage taking from 6:00 p.m. to 08:00 a.m., which was very demanding
- extreme heights with 5000+ m at the Chajnator Plateau
- extreme dry air, heat and cold, the Atacama desert is a non-forgiving place and zero-fault tolerant!
- very complicated logistics of bringing the huge equipment there and back
The TimeLapse footage is currently in processing both here and in Chile ;), it takes a while. about 50000+ images are being processed into timelapse movies.
During two nights off, we were able to visit Valle di Luna and some other great locations.
Looking forward to a new movie about our ESO adventures!
In the meantime enjoy a gallery here: http://gallery.me.com/vertrider#101679

Hi everyone,
In the first week of August, I escaped the - so far - rather "English" Summer for a week of Mountain Adventure on my beloved Island La Palma with Tent and Sleeping Back as well as a truckload of Nikon- and astronomic TimeLapse Gear. And came back with my new TimeLapse Video "The Island".
Since it's introduction on Vimeo 10 days ago it was loaded incredible over 4000000 times from over 150 countries in the world, and viewed about 85000 times. Feedback is very nice and it is a great experience to share questions and ideas with viewers from all over the world!
This shows that our motto "One People, one Sky!" is true! Thank you all!
Thanks for everyone sharing this Video, this is awesome!
The detailed description on how intense this production was as well as making of pictures can be found at the original link: http://vimeo.com/27539860
