Doing a Timelapse over two weeks

[Maha Yogi]

Hi,

I'd like to do film a timelapse how several tents are being set up which lasts around 2 weeks. The plan is to let the drone start on the same point and fly up to the same height and try to point it into the same direction by having some reference points.

I would set the drone in GPS mode and make interval pictures as long as the battery lasts. For sure I won't have the same distance to the object, height and direction every time. But I thought I could match the pictures by making a transparent overlay from the second flight over the first flight and then scale / move them.

Do you think this is possible or would it look ( Mod Removed Language )? I've never seen a video of somebody doing that.

Unfortunately I don't have much time at the moment otherwise I would try it.

Thank you guys!!

You should get Litchi and create a waypoint mission. Then you should fly every day and do the exact same mission and take your pictures. Then if you have Adobe premiere pro or any other video editing software with a video stabilizer, put your images together to make a video, it will be very herky jerky now. Then stabilize your footage and see if you have the option to stabilize with the "no motion" setting. That will be a much easier way. Just know you will need to take a lot of pictures to make a video. You will need about 30 pictures for every second of your time lapse. Unless you are like me and film and work with 24 frames per second video only.

Your welcome, let me know if you need anything else during your project. I have been doing photography and videography for over 10 years now and I have learned a few things...

Here's one done recently I found in the Photo/video section. I have no clue how to do it.

timelapse construction monitoring service

How about a job tracking service? 14 months 16 recordings in 2 minutes (first service still getting better), say what did you think? Constructive criticism is always accepted ;-)
