moving time-lapse photography tutorial by Victoria G.
A nice little tutorial that includes well made hands-on videos, written by Victoria G. Also, most of the equipment involved in moving timelapse photography (except for the camera and lens of course) can be readily made from scratch, scrap and leftover bits. All you have to do is read some of the DIY tutorials that float around the interwebs (Google is your friend) and have some common sense...and patience.
"Once the system was assembled, the video showed the steady, smooth motion provided by the engine and precise control via the digital controls. The photographer states the noise of the engine could be a factor in creating video. In every case it is best to set up your camera in manual mode or semi-manual mode so that the camera does not keep trying to focus or adjust the exposure during the time-lapse. Changes in focus and exposure can cause some unwanted effects and interrupt the smooth flow of the finished images.In continuous motion mode, the motor moves the camera smoothly along the rail without stopping. The video outlines a method for calculating correct setting for the speed of the motor to get the effect you want. The resulting settings were achieved with the digital control system. The second video covers “shoot move shoot” mode (SMS). In the SMS mode the motor will move the camera, activate the shutter, then move the camera again; the length of the pause time can be set with the control."(Maybe) Related articles
