What are some common mistakes you see in timelapses?

Biggest mistakes are choosing the wrong interval (usually too slow or far between) and then setting up a tripod in an area that has a vibration or the potential to hit by people while shooting. Once something hits the tripod leg or moves the camera event slightly the shot is dead. This use to happen to me all the time but now I safeguard against it because having to reshoot something isn't fun at all, haha. Especially if it takes hours to do.

There's always failtures along the way but a lot of times it's due to things that are out of my control or the productions control. There are lots of times where weather and unexpected people have caused shots or full production days to be a wash which is really unfortunate. Most of the time though we complete the project as directed and things go swimmingly 🙂

And one last question via email: Are there any unique or innovative techniques you've developed over the years?

The biggest technique I have and utilize currently is my post-production techniques when it comes to crafting the image in post. There's so much more you can do now than you could in the past so the options are endless during the creation process.
