Timelapse - getting the movement and potential markets?

[LongLensPhotography]

I've done one short timelapse - http://www.longlensphotography.co.uk/bristol/e3db40832
(how do I embed iframe here?)

All movements are done in post. I see I can shoot wider and cheat a little. But it can't replicate some bigger movements, like for example moving 10m past some large objects, or even 1m slider past something close.

So how do you get that smooth motion over 3-10m? Surely it is not a simple slider.

And then where / how can I market these commercially? I am thinking about shooting a proper one locally over next few weeks, so it would help if I can tailor it to suit commercial clients.

Currently I only have some bodies, and manfrotto tripod with 410 head.

Dolly track?

Slider/dolly, you could do it manually if you had the patience - it's stills afterall, not video, so just move x amount every y frames. You can get a motor for the track though and programme it to move as you like. Bit pricey for decent ones.

Smaller moves have to be done with a rig of some kind, there's no real way to cheat. Longer moves are pretty easy once you get your method down. You can even go for long moves and turns when you get accomplished. Google hyperlapse for the details

Cool, I will mess around with hyperlapse. Anyone got any tips what works best?
