Create a timelapse showing the mood of your city.

ASSIGNMENT

Now it's your turn: create a stationary or motion-controlled timelapse that shows off the mood of your city!

What architecture or elements will provide visual interest?
What elements can provide motion — clouds? traffic?
What edits will achieve your desired mood and feel?

Mastering timelapse will unlock so many skills for your storytelling — bending time, transitioning scenes, setting pace — and with this project, it's a great opportunity to put your own spin on it.

DELIVERABLE
