really rather than speculate about the best way to do hyperlapse - go to timescapes.org There are several people on that forum that have done exactly what you are showing, they have mastered it and are willing to share information - this link for example:

http://forum.timescapes.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10853&p=58959&hilit=hyperlapse#p58959

for example includes a before and after version of the shots.

go there and search for hyperlapse

I wasn't sure if Ae's stabilization would be adequate.  As "walking" and not a tripod or even a monopod was mentioned, I would presume that there'd be some wild fluctuations in registration between shots.  I don't think a tripod would be permitted or practical in a subway station or car, or progressing through a crowd on a sidewalk or foot bridge.

Here's another video my client sent, with some interest in doing similar shots (some of these are real-time, and some are time-lapse).  You can see there are camera moves where it would be impossible to put down a tripod or use a steadicam, due to the uneven, rocky, debris-laden terrain in the "slot canyon" shots particularly.

Thanks for all the input.

Greg B.’s steps are exactly how this is done – I’ve used this and variations of this technique a number of times.  Just keep the idea that all motion is a series of stills and anything you put in an image sequence is motion in AE. Some variations you can do with this:

 

1.       For a really smooth move, shoot with a higher model Canon DSLR in JPEG fine – 5d, 5D Mark III etc with a fast card. You can shoot at a steady rate  1,2 even 4fps until the card is full.

2.       Apply Twixtor to the image – you can get anything from interesting effects to making it look like you shot motion footage to start depending on what settings you use.

3.       Same for motion blur or any other time based plugs – you can create really interested effects.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Take a regular still cam, use a dolly or some sort of fixed height rolling thing to affix the camera to. Take the shots all in progression so that each frame will be a sequentially numbered frame. Walk 5 feet, take another shot, etc. Import the frames into AE as an image sequence. Render out the shaky footage. Import that new rendered movie and apply image stabilization via warp stabilizer.

Do this per shot.

Should be pretty easy, the cumbersome part is shooting it all.

A client sent me this link, and said it was shot with a still camera, and he called it a "walking time-lapse."  He wants to do something similar.

I'm wondering how the film maker got all the images to register in succession.  Seems like you could do this manually in Ae, which would take forever, unless… there's some software that automates the process.

Is anybody aware of such software?
