As for the time lapse I shot hundreds of single still images during the plants growing, then stacked them with Lightroom to generate video footage. Since I started the outside shooting at late spring, tulip may be the last seasonal plant for me to shoot in northwest of the States. Hope I answered your questions.

Camera shutter can be set automatically by using Timer Remote Controller. For the settings of the length and interval there is a formula which can be found online with keywords Time Lapse Calculator. Battery issue can be solved with DC Coupler. I took about ten days averagely for each kind of plants to grow up. Totally it took several months to complete including animations and postproduction.

84 Mar 20 Comment Thank you all for your comments and I really appreciate all your suggestions!
Yes, It took several months to complete this video. Now let me explain some details here.
1. Time-lapse was taken by DSLR with single images stacked by using Adobe Lightroom. Plants were growing very slowly due to the low light condition, so averagely it took about ten days for each kind.
2. Background set with blue screen to distinguish from green plants. Use "keying" function in Adobe Premiere Pro to change the background color from blue to transparency, then add your own background to bottom layer same as in Photoshop.
3. All 3D animations such as bee, butterflies and growing plants were created with Adobe After Effects.

Yes, I enjoyed your Laser show video!
1. At the beginning same scene day & night transition smoothly to bring audience to the show
2. Cross Dissolve transition effect used in between clips
3. I agree with Dick's suggestions to use gimbal to avoid shaky while you are on boat

1. Precious wildlife and aurora footages

3. Various kinds of transitions used to attract audience
4. Very smart way to capture videos for the most exciting moments instead of still images

Beautiful drone video!
1. Drone was operated flying lower along river
2. Track the subjects (boats) with 180 degree turn smoothly
3. Nice frame in frame effect
Question: Was the video shot at 16:9 ratio? It shows black edges on both top and bottom sides.
