Hop farm and field on the regional border West-Flanders and Wallonia, time lapse video in early summer.

(Browse the collection : Hainaut province stock footage videos, time lapses and cinematic shots)


Imagine hundreds of vintage wooden telephone poles aligned in rows with wires and trellis on which plants grow vertically. This may look as an unusual landscape but it actually means gold for the brewery sector. In Belgium most of the hop plants and hop businesses are run in Flanders in the area of the city Poperinge. The total belgian production is not as huge compared to the US one. But it has a reputation of variety and terroir; its high quality makes it a top choice an a key ingredient for the brewering process.
The town of Warneton lies handlocked between the territories of France on one side and Flanders Region on the other side. But it is part of Wallonia’s Hainaut province. This is where the Forrest Farm runs a family exploitation since decades and supplies 15 tons each year of hop cones to breweries where authentic and exquisite beers are made.
This location is original because of its position on regional borders. But these grewing fields were former battlefields : World War One has left scares in this part of the 1914-1918 Western Front. Relics and remains, monuments and memorials… remind to the visitor this deadly history : Ploegsteert Memorial, Christmas Truce Memorial, Island of Ireland Peace Park, New Zealand War Cemetery, are so close to each other that you will never find so many traces in such a close area elsewhere.

Time lapse clips are made of hundreds of still images shot every two or three seconds during a period of at least ten minutes, depending on the wanted length of the clip and the interval of seconds itself. Traffic passing by, clouds bubbling up, sunsets,... will offer the motion that brings life to the landscape as well as emotional and mesmerising impact. Undesired objects might often interfere in this creative proccess. Whether you are focusing a scenery in the city or in the nature, flying birds or insects will render small black dots which can ruin the experience visually. This unpredictible issue might sometimes affect a bench of images, not only one here or an other over there. When so many are concerned, retouching frame by frame will then make the workflow painfull. Remember also : from a photographic point a view, everything is set up manually. So, most of the time the light may change dramatically in short intervalls. Again specific adjusments in postproduction will be achieved in order to decrease the gaps of luminance, or even the change of contrast or color tone. Such variations are softened by the natural perception of your eyes and the interpretation by the brain. However the camera render them in a more brutal way, this is why in-depth editing, with the right tools, will apply. For the same reason, if a sequence is shot with a telelens, or from a bridge, imperceptible shaky moves will be noticable when replaying the clip. The cleaning part of time lapse making process is awaited to raise the value of the work, and to make the final video simply nicer to watch.
High quality time lapse clips are usually made with still images out of a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera with 3:2 aspect ratio. Ratio refers to the proportion of the length to the height of the image. Now, standard videos use slightly different ratio. Full HD videos (1920x1080 pixels) or 4K-UHD (3840x2160 pixels) video follow the 16:9 aspect ratio. In order to match this standard widescreen ratio, cropping will be required when importing DSLR images in the timeline. As a consequence, the ready to use uhd and fhd time lapse clips shown on this website have been cropped top and bottom, for most of the time, evenly. This is where 5K+ size becomes interesting. Depending on the sensor of the camera used, the ultimate format size rises up to 5,1 or 5,6 K : respectively 5184x3456 or 5616x3744 pixels. That means : way bigger images. And the more pixels you have, the more realistic, the sharper the videos are looking. Nowadays full HD shows its age and 4K becomes the new standard. Clearly the shift to 4K timelines in on progress. Higher 5K resolution will deeply expand creative editing capacities, such as: reframing in total flexibility, cropping down to HD with details preserved, zooming in to individual sections of an image... No matter what sort of project you start with, the higher resolution will offer best results to enjoy.
