I recently came across a nifty piece of software - Panolapse. The software is designed to allow for panning movements in time lapse stills. A couple of days ago I used my Canon 5D Mark II (with Magic Lantern installed) and 17-40 L to create the images for this sequence:



I shot 400 frames over a span of about 20 minutes (3 second timer) using the built-in intervalometer feature of Magic Lantern.

Panolapse isn't the easiest software to understand and use, but watching the video on their website helps.

After processing the video in Panolapse, I used Premiere Elements 11 to add the title sequences and music. It's nothing fancy, but overall I was pleased with the test. The free version of Panolapse allows you to encode at 720p. The paid version allows for encoding in higher resolutions and includes multiple RAW blending options that can help the look of the video.

What do you guys think?
