Share your time lapse videos with us

On EdinburghReportage we have a whole range of storyboards just waiting for your contributions. These storyboards allow you to add text, photos and videos. And today we would particularly like to invite you to share your time-lapse videos with us.

Inspired by Queen Margaret University professor Walid Salhab to produce your own time lapse film?  Here is his latest…

There are many ways to produce these videos and many technical rules about how to smooth out the results.

We produced this one a while back at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

This was done with a camera, a tripod and a remote control followed by an edit through Aperture.

But now there are easier ways to produce really good results. Recently we have used our Instagram account to bring you video news ‘on the fly’ from wherever we happen to be.

Do you use Instagram to film video? Then perhaps you have the new Hyperlapse App? The new free app was launched recently and this page is where you will find information to help you use it.

So why not have a shot at producing a time lapse video this weekend and publish the video to our time lapse storyboard here?

You might be out for a walk in the Pentlands, walking up Arthur’s seat or you might be a passenger in a car when you have two hands to film the streets you pass through.

EdinburghReportage is where The Edinburgh Reporter asks you to get involved in reporting the news where you are. Your contributions will be published here on the EdinburghReportage pages.

We will issue regular calls for Stories, which can be told with words, photos or video on a wide variety of topics. We will also ask you to suggest stories that you would like to contribute to

All submissions will be moderated, but as long as you abide by the rules then your story will get published!
