If there was a simple way to create stunning time-lapse movies so striking and so captivating that your videos went viral… would you be interested?
What if you could create awe-inspiring time-lapse movies, without having to invest in expensive equipment or software… would that make it more accessible to you?
My name is Josh Dunlop, and here’s something few people know… You can create breath-taking time-lapse movies, 10x better than you can imagine now. All you need is a simple process.
Videos so engaging and exciting that others may accuse you of stealing footage from The Discovery Channel. You don’t need a fancy camera, and you don’t need expensive training.
And I’m going to prove it to you.
Take a look at this. I created this first time-lapse before discovering what I’m about to share with you.
It’s a good first effort, but it flickers because I was shooting it as if it was a landscape photograph.
The wrong shutter speed, aperture, interval, and more. The result is a very amateur Time-Lapse.
Now, look at this… I created this time-lapse just a week later. Same location, same camera, same equipment…
A much smoother and more professional-looking time-lapse.
During the week between my first and second video, I attended a private workshop with Time-Lapse Master, Casey Kiernan (on the right). One of the best in the world at what he does.
His work has won the Gila Time-Lapse Film Festival, the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival and the California Film Awards. His pictures and movies have been featured in CBS News, Al Jazeera, History Channel and more.
Collectively, his movies have had tens of thousands of views online!
When I met Casey, I was embarrassed that my technical skills as a landscape photographer didn’t transfer over to time-lapse photography.
All you need is a basic camera and lens, and an intervalometer (that’s the simple remote you use to automatically capture the sequence for you).
The things I learned from him forever changed how I think about, and approach creating time-lapse movies.
Total Time-Lapse is a High Definition video course on the art of time-lapse photography.
It shows you how to create world-class movies without being a pro photographer and without buying expensive gear.
Casey Kiernan and I collaborated on this course after he walked me through the process to become a time-lapse photographer. We share the skills that save us time and earn us praise.
The “secret” to exceptional time-lapse photography isn’t where you shoot, or even how you set up your camera… the real secret is the movement that you capture.
Some of the skills you’re going to gain include:
Total Time-Lapse shows you how to find movement in your scenes and bring your videos to life. Videos like this…
One of the best parts is that every technique is taught with common language! Even though Total Time-Lapse gives you an advanced skill set, it shares (and demonstrates) every technique without a bunch of jargon.
Here, check it out for yourself:
Even if you struggled in school… or aren’t the greatest at grasping new skills… you’re going to be shocked by how easy it feels to absorb this information.
You do NOT need top-of-the-line gear for “Total Time-Lapse”. In fact, we show you why cheaper lenses are often better for time-lapse photography!
The only accessories you need to get started is a tripod and a $15 intervalometer.
Chances are you already have everything you need to capture jaw-dropping time-lapse movies.
Although your gear will undoubtedly be good enough, you do need a couple of pieces of software to create your finished time-lapse:
Setting up your camera to constantly take pictures, hoping to get lucky is… cheating.
Sure you might get a good photo or two, but did you work to get it, or did you stumble across it by chance?
Time-lapse photography is different. You’re supposed to take hundreds of photos at once. And when you do, you can publish your favourite from the bunch.
You worked hard on the composition, you thought about how the scene was going to change. You earned that photo while letting your camera do most of the hard work for you.
This photo came from a sequence of over 300 photos…
Together with one of my videographers who went through this course, we created our own Time-Lapse movie of the city we live in, and we think it’s pretty special.
Check it out below and see what you’ll be capable of once you’ve been through this training:
Picture this.
Before you leave the house, you have your camera setup with the exact settings you’re going to use. All you need to do is click start.
You arrive at the location without a single worry about composition, because you know exactly what you want to capture.
Within a matter of minutes, you’ve captured your first time-lapse. You’re so amazed as you scroll through your images, you won’t stop shooting until all your batteries are dead.
15 minutes later you’re adding all kinds of interesting foreground objects, dramatic light, and shadows, and mesmerising movement to make your time-lapse truly striking.
Once you’re finished, you have a selection of videos with unparalleled interest and activity. Videos so vibrant they command respect from even the most seasoned photographers.
Sound far-fetched? That’s what I thought too.
And then I attended Casey’s workshop. Within 3 days of absorbing his approach, I created all of the videos you now see on this web page.
And the best part is that shooting time-lapses is second nature to me now. I follow a few simple rules, and I’m now confident that:
Time-lapse photography is special because it has the ability to tell the full story of what you’re shooting. You can share a sun setting, a storm rolling through, a flower blooming… all in a matter of seconds, not hours.
Normally, experts keep time-lapse methods close to the vest, because they can charge hefty fees for training. There’s never been an easy or affordable way for regular people to master time-lapse photography. Until now.
With over 140,000 students, photographers love our training. But don’t just take our word for it, check out what some of them have to say about “Total Time-Lapse”:
This really gave me a jump-start with time-lapse! Great tips for shooting and a well thought out workflow. Thank you.
Easy to follow, easy to understand and a nice way to start your journey if you are interested in Time Lapse photography. I liked that if there were any sections you didn’t quite understand the first time around. You listened to them again until the penny dropped. I thought the course was well worth the money and time spent on it.
I started watching this morning and have gotten as far as the bonuses in one go! Needless to say, I am thoroughly enjoying this and have to humbly admit that this was my “aha” moment when I finally understood about the parameters to make it all work. Not only did it inspire me to try a simple time-lapse on my camera, but I have attacked hyper lapses and motion lapses on my DJI Osmo 2 and Ronin Rs2! Thank you for a great course so far!
You might be surprised, but you don’t need top-of-the-line equipment to capture stunning time-lapse photography.
The only accessories you’ll need are a tripod and a $15 intervalometer.
In this module we reveal:
In this section, we dive deep into the most exciting part: shooting time-lapses.
You’ll soon discover:
In this module, you’ll find our step-by-step guide to editing your time-lapse in Lightroom & LR Timelapse.
We’ll show you how to:
Time-lapse photography is about capturing motion and to do that, you have to have the right camera settings.
But if you’re just starting out, deciding on the settings for each scene can require quite a bit of trial and error.
That’s why we’ve worked with our designer to make a simple cheat sheet with settings you can use in 20 different shooting situations.
From street photography to sunsets, you’ll always know exactly which settings to use with this cheat sheet!
The art of a good time-lapse movie is in capturing movement. Cars driving by, clouds moving through the sky, the sun setting at night.
But what if instead of our subjects moving, we moved instead? That’s what Hyperlapse is all about. Using our feet as the movement in the scene to capture unique perspectives.
There are a few ways to do this, but in this bonus, we share our method using nothing but a tripod.
Making movies is fun and easy, once you know how to do it. But like all forms of editing, there’s a right way and a wrong way (and in this case, an easy way) to go about it.
Although we don’t go into detail on how to use video editing software (that would be a different course entirely)… we do show you the exact process Casey used to edit one of his award-winning films.
Movie Maker shows you:
We walk you through exactly how Casey made this award-winning film below:
Have you ever wanted to see what the pros do to get their movies shared online while earning money from them?
In this short, but sweet bonus, we share exactly what we do in this all-important final step. After all, what’s the point in creating these breathtaking movies if no one sees them?
Market Your Movies shows you:
I stand behind every product we offer.
So I’m putting my money where my mouth is with these two guarantees:
Guarantee #1: If you don’t think “Total Time-Lapse” is the best $69 you’ve spent on your time-lapse photography… send me an email. I’ll provide you with a full refund.
Guarantee #2: If you DO what’s recommended, and your results aren’t great, I’ll refund double your money. All I ask is that you give it an honest effort. How’s that for fair?
And these guarantees are good for 90 days after purchase!
Creating time-lapse movies requires vision and storytelling.
A 10-second clip usually takes between 5-15 minutes to capture.
And you have to train your eye to think about the scene and the movement that’s going to take place before you start to shoot.
You’re telling a story with a stunning video, rather than a single image.
Time-lapse photography isn’t for everyone. It’s probably not for the photographer who only wants to take a quick pic and be on their way.
But perhaps the best thing about learning how to create stunning time-lapse movies is that you dramatically improve your storytelling capabilities.
Time-lapse photography trains your instinct and forces you to really think about your scene before you even turn your camera on.
If I could give you a proven method for creating the most powerful videos of your life, how much would that be worth?
Over the past few weeks I’ve been making a movie in Budapest, the city I live in, and boy did it impress my friends! It’s the most liked video I’ve ever posted on my personal Facebook profile!
Here, check it out:
It’s one of the most fun types of photography you can master. You can connect with photography in a new way and really bring your portfolio to life. What more can you ask for?
The thing is, time-lapse is such a powerful area of expertise, that training can be pricey. Workshops at $1,000.00 or more aren’t uncommon. That’s the reason so few masters of it.
Personally, if I knew of a guaranteed way to master time-lapse photography, and it cost only $1,299.00, I would snatch it up in a heartbeat.
And I did exactly that! That’s how much Casey Kiernan’s workshop cost me, and it was worth every penny.
What’s fantastic is this course covers everything Casey teaches in his closed-door workshop. And more. Together we’ve expanded the content while making it easier to grasp and use.
Plus, we’re giving you How to Hyperlapse ($69.00) Movie Maker ($69.00), and Market Your Movies ($69.00) as free bonuses!

As you can tell, this is a staggeringly low price. These courses together should retail for over $1,500.00, and you’re getting all of them for less than 10% of that.
But like I said, there is a catch.
You see, in exchange for this discounted rate, I’d like to ask a small favour. When you get your copy, can you email me your feedback on it?
This will require no effort on your part – you’ll receive an email a couple of weeks after you get your copy, and you can reply directly. A single sentence would be helpful.
And that’s it. Pretty easy “catch”, right?
I just want to get as much feedback as possible so I can continue to improve the course.
For that reason, we only plan to offer this deal for the next 500 customers to get the customer feedback we need.
Your confidence will have grown immensely and you’ll realise how easily the skills you gained translate to photography in general.
In short: You’ll be a better, more focused and more interesting photographer.
But only when you choose to act.
I wouldn’t be where I am today, capturing stunning time-lapse movies if I hadn’t chosen to act.
You have a chance to do things differently. “Total Time-Lapse” is your path to becoming a much better, more fulfilled photographer. But it’s up to you to take the first step.
