More specifically, still on tripod, with motion (handheld, 180 degrees on tripod, on rail- on X, Υ axises and diagonally) and timelapse, all with elementary vfx compositing preparation. Green screen + camera tracking marks is what you see stuck on the tv, and are intended as helpers to match any camera motion in after effects and replace more easily video on the screen. Some corner pinching might be in order due to the curvature of the old tv screen.
This little escapade has already taught me some stuff, some of which are:
1. It can get windy and the camera rail needs a tripod on each of its sides to avoid oscillating tremors. It can be stabilized in editing but it's better if it is really stable right out of the camera
2. The 100Ds batteries are not enough to support timelapses longer than 30 minutes, and having to remove the camera from the videohead to access the battery is a no-go since vantage point changes, even if little.
3. This rail is counter-intuitive as it doesn't have a wrench and the carriage is moved by hand.
4. When it gets darker, I need better directional lighting and lighting support to adequtely light the green screen area.
5. Next time I intend to do a timelapse, which takes a long time to setup and shoot, I need to have refreshments with me, especially in remote places.
As of yet, I have not checked nor tested the footage.
