time lapse?

[sean patrick ray]

hi. i am a student at the new york film academy and i would like to try a flower time lapse as part of my first semester film. i have never tryed this and i am fairly new to film in genaral. the camara i use at school is a arriflex 16s and i own a super 8 eumig. the rest of the project is going to be with the arri and i woud like the time lapse to look as close to that as possible. do i need a certain camera? what are some of the best flowers to use?

Step one : Set up a Test testing a similar Flower under the same Lighting you would use for the shoot and time the length (Duration) of the sequence you wish to squeeze.

 

Step two: Consult a Steele Chart
