Instagram Hyperlapse: Create smooth time-lapse videos with ease

Over the last year or so, I’ve seen some really cool things done with time-lapse video in the real estate marketing space.  Having been part of building a full scale “media team” for a local Portland area brokerage I know that this process isn’t easy, and the equipment isn’t cheap.

Today, Instagram decided to turn that notion on it’s head with the launch of their Hyperlapse app for the iPhone.

Check out this quick sample video to see some actual footage created using the app.

What was once only possible with a Steadicam unit or a fairly expensive tracking rig is now not only possible with your iPhone… but it’s easy AND free as well. So, go forth and create awesome videos!

By the way, for all you Android users, Instagram hopes to develop an Android version soon, but that will require changes to the camera and gyroscope APIs on Android phones.
