It’s not very difficult depending on what you are wanting to shoot and your resources being either time or money. For video mostly what you need if you don’t want to baby sit the camera is what is called and intervolometer other wise say you wanted to timelapse a whole day…. shoot 5 minutes each hour during the day and longer during sunset or sunrise. I am not sure if an intervolometer exists in the video wold because I haven’t gone looking but it use to be used in film quite freqently.
