PHOTOGRAPHERS
Oh and you know how you can follow hashtags now? I'm always keeping a pulse on the #StopMotion hashtag. The creative videos get fed right into my insta feed and if I really like the video, I bookmark it so I can come back to it later!
Photographers, do you know you have a GOLD MINE of potential stop motion videos right at the fingertips of your Lightroom library!? *GASP*. It's true! I'm sure most of you shoot in burst mode to capture those moments filled with movement. With Life Lapse, you can import photos into a project and Life Lapse will turn them into a video. This would be a great way to add some motion to your insta stories and surprise your clients with a little something extra!
To make a Life Lapse with photos from your session, airdrop those bad boys to your phone, create a new Life Lapse project, close the camera & select the import photos icon on the top right-hand side. Once they're in the project, press the play button. From here you can change the size, the speed of how fast the clips play, add music & filters.
** The import photos feature is an upgrade option for a couple of dollars (price varies per country). **
HEALTH & FITNESS
If you're a fitness trainer I'd highly recommend using Life Lapse to capture the progress of your client's fitness journey. Alternatively, you can make fun videos like the ones below!
Product Based Businesses
If you're a product based business, stop motion is a great way to bring those products to life!!
TRAVEL
Life Lapse is perfect for capturing your travels. Think of it as a "video passport". You can take a new clip at each new spot you visit and boom, you'll soon have a video of you visiting all these amazing places. You could have fun with a particular pose in one spot, like what a Kyle Huber often does on his instagram.
