★ Wait to preload the 1080p video and watch it in full screen to enjoy some of the details coming from the 4k footage (re-compressed and reduced to 2k for publication on Vimeo…).

Saint Nicolas is a small village, sitting like a balcony above the Dora Baltea Valley, in the zone of Mont Fallère (Aosta - Italy). I tried to capture some of its beauty and to freeze a few instants of its peaceful atmosphere in an autumn week-end, while teaching in my first Timelapse Workshop.

I shot everything in RAW with my 7D and developed the picts with Lightroom 3 + LRTimelapse. I used After Effects CS5.5 for stabilizing a couple of sequences, final color grading and deflickering (I purchased GBDeflickr after some tests against Sapphire equivalent plugin).

I edited with Premiere Pro, not before spending some long days in paint for removing thousands of stains created by insects, birds and sensor noise in long exposures. I also removed dozens of the most annoying airplanes, especially by night. I would have not survived if I hadn’t a Wacom tablet!
