Total Paid $210

Create a time-lapse video using in-game footage!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Elite Dangerous

They same time flies when you're having fun. For this bounty we're challenging you to film and edit the most beautiful Elite Dangerous time-lapse video you can, using only in-game footage. It can be anywhere from two- to 20-minutes-long. It's not essential, but considering the hefty top prizes, we recommend thinking hard about your transitions and combining multiple time-lapsed clips into a single video for maximum effect.

What is a time-lapse video? A time-lapse video stretches out the frame rate, so that when played back at a normal speed, time appears to be sped up. There are plenty of guides and examples online.

All content, including the music, is captured in-game. I managed to squeeze my epic first 10 hours of gameplay into just 3 minutes - enjoy!

Elite Dangerous - Timelapse - LHS 6427 A 3

Verified

I decided to film this time lapse in the LHS 6427 system because of its twin ringed planets.

The idea was to show the movement of the plants i relation of each other and the beauty to look to those rings from the ground and space!

Shot on Kumay, Chi Herculis system in Legacy Horizons.

While running an EDCopilot SRV time trial on Kumay, Alec Turner's 'Snake', it was time for a break.

It's Kumay's winter and the sun only just sneaks above the horizon, which when combined with the occasional eclipse by its parent Apasam means the sun makes brief appearances.

This 'day' lasted 15 minutes.

A pair of moons orbitting Synuefe WH-F c0, Planet 1 crash roughly every 8 weeks. They've earned the name "the Cyanean Rocks", in reference to the rocks that lie in the Bosphorus between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean and are the setting for a part of the famous legend of Jason and the Argonauts. when two bodies are intersecting in Elite the rules controlling gravity are impacted and objects can be trapped inside, dragged and thrown along. Even fleet carriers aren't immune! The ground becomes the sky and flips back again repeatedly.
