SONY EX1: Undercrank / Time Lapse - Footage

In addition the EX1's overcrank abilities, it also has the capacity to shoot at reduced frames per second to allow a time-lapsed fast motion effect. Think of the 2-second sunrises and sunsets in Gladiator as transitions between major scenes.

Jamie Baughman has again treated the video community to some test samples, one at a BUSY STREETCORNER and the other of PASSING CLOUDS.

And here, we see some interesting timelapse work by Philip Bloom, taking advantage also of the Letus Extreme (also featuring a number of overcrank shots).

SONY EX1: Overcrank - Footage

The EX1 permits a number of variable framerates, with more available at lower screen resolutions. This permits the camera to be used to "overcrank" or shoot more frames per second than the rate at which they will be played back, allowing for a smooth slow-motion effect.

This video (Youtube compression, unfortunately) features the EX1 being used to both over- and under-crank.



Here is an OVERCRANK TEST OF A FLAG RIPPLING posted by Jamie Baughman, who also provides an WATER FOUNTAIN OVERCRANK TEST.

And here, of course, is a CLIP BY PHILIP BLOOM that features some EX1 overcrank. As mentioned previously, it is pretty much the ambition of most EX1 owners to parallel the results achieved by Mr. Bloom with this camera.

And some nice raindrops footage...
