If photography and video had a child, it would be a timelapse. You get the best of both worlds: framing up an amazing photo, and then creating a moving visual feast out of a few thousand of those photos. But there’s some important technical details that are necessary for getting a great timelapse, and one of them is choosing the timelapse interval setting.
For Drew Geraci, timelapse started out as a hobby, a fun addition to photography and video production work. But as he describes it, “once you start getting into it, you really have to get into it, because there’s a lot of time that’s involved in it.”
