    How do people shoot panning time lapses. Are they just really good at panning slow? How does the image not become dark or over exposed over time? I there a device I would need to execute this move?

    A friend of ours here in Phoenix is Ned Traver. He designed the CamTram dolly and sells it through AbleCinetech.

    At our FCP meeting las month, he showed us a time lapse of one of his dollies moving sideways on track while it also panned. This rig was designed by a young man who owns one of his units.

    I’ll put a call into Ned to see if he can post the video. Maybe you can hook up with the genius that pulled it off.

    ahh…those clips are so good. I’m surprised that it’s an SLR camera that is used to do the timelaps.

    Thanks a lot.

    Ross Ching does a lot of great motion time lapse using stills. You can check them out here:

    He also has some behind the scenes footage of how he does it.

    I have been playing with a Cannon i720 Powershot with the CHDK firmware. You can see some low quality results here:
