I ran across some videos that Canon published with Vincent Laforet that are really solid intros to shooting time lapse photography. If you want to get into this type of photography check out this video series below:

In the first episode, Vincent Laforet introduces basic time lapse concepts including what to look for when searching for the ideal time lapse subjects, how to ensure smooth movement during playback, and other useful tips to get started.

For the next episode he reviews camera setting to optimize your EOS system for shooting time lapse sequences, including Vincent’s tips on camera features to enable or disable, shooting in Manual Mode, the benefits of shooting in the RAW format, and more. UPDATE: this video has been removed from YouTube so you can view the rest of the series in the link below.

There are 2 final videos in this series that you can check out on Canons website here: Basics of Time Lapse Photography
