Seven Continents in Six Years: A Timelapse Journey

Photography Tips  •  Time-lapse Photography

Dedication is an understatement when it comes to the visually stunning timelapse, Terra Sacra. The video which took cinematographer, Sean White, to all seven continents (24 countries) over a span of six years, documents some of the world’s finest treasures in just six minutes:

Timelapse Gear List:

• Canon 5D
• Canon 7D
• TC-80N3 intervalometer

The exact number of frames used to create this timelapse is unknown, however, it’s safe to assume it’s well into the the 10’s of thousands. As you can imagine, piecing together that many images is no easy task.

White called upon multiple software suites including Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, Quicktime Pro, and LRTimelapse. White adds that the entire timelapse is done with single exposures, meaning no HDR was used.
