The
quick-lapse technique is a way to create ultra-high resolution real
time video. By taking continuous bursts of still images and applying
time interpolation algorithms in post-production to fill up the missing
frames we’re able to make unsurpassed video quality. Moreover for the
last year we have been developing the Quick lapse workflow which is
ideal for premiere global destinations, states, resorts, interior design
and iconic architecture projects. The story started back in year 2012
when Miguel de Olaso, Macgregor (co-founder of Sanchez-Olaso) found
himself in trouble during a trip to Iceland, when an accessory cable the
external recorder of his Sony F35 cinema camera was damaged and that
left him unable to work for the rest of his trip.
Since
he didn't want to come back home without quality footage of the
wonderful Nordic landscapes he decided to use his Nikon D800 as a backup
camera. But instead of shooting regular HD video with it, Miguel took
advantage of the camera’s burst mode to take continuous still
photographs with the idea of turning them into real time video.
He
noticed that he could manage a constant 5 fps burst (in JPEG mode) up
to hundred images (Nikon’s weird limit), which was far from the standard
24/25 fps of conventional video but absolutely faster than any standard
time-lapse technique. Meanwhile he wanted to capture real time video
the idea of interpolating in post the missing frames to achieve those
25fps was a bit crazy but an stimulating challenge.
