    Hi All,

    I've seen this effect a few times on TV shows in recent months and wondered how:

    1) The normal pan / tilt / scan speed is achieved with speeded up time-lapse footage or slow-mo footage playing at the same time.

    2) How a consistent light is achieved.

    I'm not after recreating this effect, just curious to know how it's achieved by the pros.

    Example footage (770kb Xvid AVI): pan_timelapse.avi

    Cheers and a Happy New Year to Baldrick, the Mods and all in the forums!
    There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

    Carpe diem.

    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

    Motion control rig of some sort. In this case probably timed to roll a little between each shot. Basically you are talking about an automated stop motion rig.

    Lighting is easy in a controlled environment.

    I did wonder whether it was that basic or whether there was some "fancy trick"... But, either way, impresive nonetheless.
