Time Lapse video of Mariner of the Seas

[rainyPNW]

During our recent cruise to Cabo, Mazatlan and PV on Mariner of the

Seas, I created a time-lapse video of all of the port departures and

arrivals, start to finish. 12,000+ individual frames stitched together

and animated with a soundtrack. Image control software was

Granite Bay Time Lapse, tied to a Canon G2. Raw sequencing via

Quick Time Pro, post processing via Virtual Dub, and final assembly

in Movie Maker (Vista).

 

It was fun to make and the results I think came out better than I

had expected!

Let me know what you think!

Wow, I am surprised nobody has responded to this your posting yesterday. The was a lot of fun to watch, especially the small boats in the ports. Sometimes they looked as if there should have been collisions all day. What fun. thanks for posting it.

I loved how clear your video was, especially at sunset & night. May I ask what type of camera & tripod you were using?

That was awesome. We were on Mariner over Halloween with 23 other people. Hopefully you don't mind that I am going to send your link to them to watch and remember the fun we had.

 

Thank You So Much!!

Nothing fancy really - older Canon Powershot G2 (only 2 mega pixel) with a very cheesy tripod I bought at Rite Aid the day before the cruise (since went to the trash - it was BAD - but very small - looking for a better one).

 

But the magic isn't in the camera - it's in the capture and post process steps that it comes to life. Go to the Royal Caribbean section and search "time lapse" for an older thread on this video - I posted a complete step-by-step of how to do all of this.
