A technique I would love to incorporate in my own music video is speeding up the movement of clouds using a time lapse or fast motion effect.
I love the idea of filming clouds moving fast. As well as giving the video a very natural vibe, it creates the feeling of a fast movement of time and making it seem very surreal and dreamlike.
I also saw the effect briefly in Selena Gomez’ video ‘Come & Get It’ at 0.16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-D1EB74Ckg
It fits in with the naturalistic setting of her video. As the clouds move they cover the sun bringing a darker more mysterious atmosphere to the video.
Below are two attempts I had at filming the clouds. I filmed the cloud footage back in Summer, knowing I wanted to include/try this technique. Because it was filmed in summer the clouds aren't that good! I think it would look more effective if it was filmed with more dense clouds. My camera also loses focus at points which is annoying. I filmed for around 5 minuets and then increased their play speed on Serif- MoviePlus.
