Time-lapse videographer - Devin Graham



Devin Graham is a videographer who is mostly known for his action packed videos, but in some of his videos he has some stunning time lapses. Graham has had the chance to travel the globe and capture some amazing footage, from places like Sydney, Australia to Machu Picchu, Peru. Each time lapse he has created has been created in the way where you take each individual photo instead of just recording the scene and then speeding the footage up. Graham goes by the name of "devinsupertramp" on Youtube and has over 4.8 million subscribers and over 1 billion accumulative views.

One time-lapse that Graham has done is in his Easter Island proposal Youtube video, where he had surprised his girlfriend at the time by proposing to her in front of the Easter Island head status that are scattered around the island. But he didn't just have the moment where he proposes to her in the video, he had taken a number of time lapses that show the beauty of the island and how stunning it can be at night and in day time. Graham uses creating techniques to show more detail in his videos by assessing the lighting and how the natural light will effect the shoot. When he shot one of the time lapses in the video he realised that you wouldn't see the statues in the night shots, so he used little torches to light up the head statues from the ground up to illuminate them to allow you to see what they are and the detail that they show. He made sure that the torches weren't too bright that they overpowered the scene and still allowed the camera to pick up the stars in the sky behind the statues.

In another time-lapse he shoots in London, England, showing off how beautiful the city and the people can be. During one of the time-lapses that he shoots, is at night and to show the movement of the vehicles more he uses a slow shutter speed, which generates the lights from moving cars and busses to show as lines. One of the other scenes that Graham shoots at in the video is the other side of the river to the London Eye, and the reason why he did that was to show the London Eye moving round and also the different boats floating past giving a different direction of movement.
