As a timelapse enthusiast, I’ve watched my fair share of time lapse videos.  To be honest, it gets harder and harder to find footage to truly enjoy, let alone share with you all!  I’m sure that some of you are bored of time lapse videos, but for those of you with an adventurous spirit and a love for the outdoors, I can promise you that this video will be much more than just another eye-candy time lapse reel.  It is an award-winning short film that tells an awe-inspiring story of the Canadian Rockies, and the people whose passion it is to explore such remote places.

You should definitely view this full-screen, in fact if you have an internet HD TV I highly recommend getting off your tiny little tablet or laptop and watching this video as big as you possibly can!  Enjoy…

Thankfully, the folks at Planet5D have just published a BTS blog entry that exposes (pun intended?) and explains just how it is possible to create one continuous time lapse that spans many months. (Hint: Solar energy powering a DSLR!)  It is a fascinating project, accomplished on a tiny budget yet creating some of the best footage I have ever seen.

Happy adventures,
