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?
