Observatories | Chile ESO Paranal and ALMA | 4K

Part two of a series of journeys to the big astronomical observatories of this planet. In this video: The Paranal Observatory and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array - ALMA. With some of the biggest ground-based telescopes on earth, the observatories of the European Southern Observatory in Chile are at the bleeding edge of astronomical research. These incredibly complex machines, operating synchronized and precisely in the very remote and hostile environments of the Atacama Desert and Andes, enable deep views into the universe.
All the sequences were shot in only 4 nights in total, but on two trips in 2017 and 2019.

Everytime amazing!

[@ChileVuela]

What camera would you recommend for a aspiring timelapse photographer, the Sony A7R3 or the A7s? Edit: and what do you use for exposure control?

[@ThePATITALINDA]

Sorprendida de todo lo que muestran de mi querido país llamado Chile, en este video del Norte de Chile. Me encanta ver estos videos serios y profesionales. Es maravilloso. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile 🌷🇨🇱🌷

Duuuuuuuuude! Absolutely brilliant one more time!! I love the detail you can bring out, but also that opening shot with the crescent moon setting and telescope lighting up!

[@TimestormFilms]

thx man! that was the day after the eclipse actually. Drove from La Serena to Paranal straight 10h, shot this sunset there and drove till midnight almost to San Pedro :D

[@henningpehlemann]

Tolle arbeit!! kann ich nicht genug von bekommen, von solchen timelapses in dieser qualität 👌 Mal ne frage: Warum arbeitest du nicht mit Syrp, sondern mit einem anderen slidersystem? hat syrp irgendwelche nachteile gegenüber dem den du hast? Auf mich wirk syrp nämlich sehr benutzerfreundlich

[@TimestormFilms]

joa das neue Zeug von Syrp scheint besser zu sein. aber man braucht immer noch apps, muss die units synchronisieren etc. An den eMotimo Spectrum kann ich V-Lock akkus packen, es gibt nen eingebauten controller, 4achsen und einfach auch eine EXTREM robuste Bauweise. der interne akku des Genie hätte zB kaum bei -15c auf 5000m die ganze nacht durchgehalten. und mein ganzes system hat 2 Kabel: shutter release und kabel zum slider-motor. fertig :D

[@henningpehlemann]

Timestorm Films das ist natürlich so ne sache mit „smarten“ geräten. Kann sehr gut verstehen dass man sich da lieber auf alt bewähres verlässt.

[@TimestormFilms]

"Alt" kann man da garnicht sagen. Zuverlässig und professionell trifft's eher. Syrp is eher noch mehr Richtung Hobbyisten gerichtet. Aber bei denen hat sich schon viel getan auch.

[@RogerOhayashi]

[@beactivebehappy9894]

This would have taken a very high end computer to render! By the way how did the configuration of that look like???!

[@TimestormFilms]

Currently still on a Dual Xeon 2697V2 (2x12core), 128GB Ram, 2x1080Ti, 8TB SSD Raid0 and a few big QNAPs with 10Gbit. But currently building a new machine: Threadripper 3990x or 3970X, 256GB Ram, Titan RTX and for now the same 8TB SSD Raid.

[@SahilP2648]

You don't exactly need a high end PC to render a 4k video. Actual 3D rendering and gaming on the other hand is a different story entirely.

[@TimestormFilms]

@@SahilP2648 you couldn't be more wrong. This is made from raw photo sequences and takes heavy noise reduction and deflickering and took hundreds of hours to render on above machine.

[@SahilP2648]

@@TimestormFilms obviously I don't know much about video editing but it still shouldn't take you hundreds of hours to render this. I understand that you might be feeding it raw images with very large sizes but still. Cause 3D rendering is vastly more complex as compared to 2D rendering. In 3D, you have to basically Ray trace multiple times for each vertex and polygon, with scenes in billions of polygons. And also the physics totally forgot about that). Obviously there are server farms for rendering this and it takes days to render a single frame. But even then you are just doing 2D rendering, it shouldn't be this long. BTW I love your videos.

[@TimestormFilms]

@@SahilP2648 obviously you have no idea about video rendering as you said. I think I'm not wrong to call myself an expert on timelapse and 8K editing and also how to efficiently use my recources. I'm also not here to tell you that your 3d rendering is slow or something, because I dont know. But please tell me more about my job 😉

[@a.rocketry7133]

Beautiful! 😍 Just a question, what is the green line in the milky way from 4:18 to 4:28?

[@SahilP2648]

That I think is the green light from the left part of the screen reflecting inside one of the lenses inside the camera, so its an unwanted artifact. There's no physical green streak like that.

the nice thing is that you can start with pretty low-end equipment compared to video cameras. even with a 10 year old entry level DSLR you can shoot 5K timelapse without problem...
