Music festival season is finally on and boy we have some exciting projects ahead! First stop - Southside Festival - where we created the first out of three festival hyperloops for , featuring the amazing .vibes.

This hyperloop was especially challenging to create given the chaotic festival environment, tropical heat, happy (not to say drunk) photobombing festivalgoers, and a dangerously tight deadline, so props to the team for making it possible!

[How To: Basic Handheld Hyperlapse]

1) Find a prominent subject with clear patterns.

2) Define a shooting path with enough space and no obstacles. 25 (24, 30) steps equals one second of video.

3) Compose the shot and pick a fixed point. You will aim your camera at this point for the entire shoot so pick a unique and visible pattern. Camera gridlines can help you aim. For start, don't go wider than 24 mm.

4) Do a test shoot and, if necessary, adjust framing & fixed point.

5) Put the camera to manual mode and manually select white balance to avoid flicker.

6) Take a picture, make a step, and repeat the process until you’re done. Always keep a consistent step size and time interval between shots [Step size sets the speed of camera movement in your shot; Shutter speed controls the amount of motion blur]

7) In Lightroom, color grade your hero shot and use [Photo — Develop Settings — Sync Settings] to apply this grade to the entire sequence. Export all images.

8) Import the image sequence into Premiere Pro and apply Warp Stabilizer. Play with Smoothness percentage (2-10%) to get the best results. If the footage still isn’t smooth, try nesting and apply Warp Stabilizer again.

This workflow works for hyperlapses with simpler subjects and shooting paths, shot at constant exposure. More complex cases require image stabilization in After Effects and exposure ramping in .

Another hyperloop we created for Stiftung Menschen für Menschen - Karlheinz Böhms Äthiopienhilfe charity campaign for Ethiopian people. This time we had a pleasure of shooting the merch with Sophia Thiel, a prominent figure in Germany's fitness community.

Although selecting a theme was easy — a workout routine in Sophia's local gym in Munich — creating hyperloops in such new and busy environments can be a nightmare. Therefore, to minimize uncertainties, we came to Munich one day in advance and spent 4 hours in the gym, scouting, rearranging machines, and test shooting until we had the entire loop planned. Swipe to see how our final shooting plan looked like. Another location-specific challenge was to keep people outside the frame during the shoot without disturbing them, but luckily, Germans tend to naturally avoid being on camera.

And finally, to spice things up, we decided to include some subject movement, so we instructed Sophia to gradually lift weights as Boris was shooting. This is usually a problem for models who aren't familiar with the hyperlapse technique, because for the movement to look natural, it needs to happen gradually through 3-5 minutes of shooting. Luckily, Sophia did an amazing job there, and we didn't have to repeat any shots.

All in all, the shooting took around 3 hours and afterwards we were ready for bed, even though it was barely 4 pm.

Swipe through for BTS. Also, if you'd like to get some cool merch to support the people of Ethiopia, check out www.sew-fashion.de/.

Fun fact: the chest logo stands for the word "Human" in Amharic characters. Amharic is the official language in Ethiopia.

This month we've been working on something special.

Over the past 40 years, Germany-based charity foundation Menschen FĂĽr Menschen [People for People] has been committed to improving the living conditions of people in rural Ethiopia, focusing on integrated & sustainable development.

As a part of their 40th birthday campaign, MfM released an exclusive clothing collection, where 100% of profit goes to furthering the cause of the Ethiopian people.

We were invited to create three hyperloops to promote the merch, and our first loop features the legendary Senioren Zocken — gamers, YouTube stars, and the coolest senior citizens you'll ever see. Thank you guys, it was a blast.

It's been a while but your favorite brothers are still alive! Here is a quick hyperlapse reel from our latest project for Indian Spirit Open Air Festival. Seeing 15 000 people dancing after all this time was so surreal and heartwarming that I didn't even mind all the beer spilled on me. Let's hope for more of this soon.

A couple of years ago, an earthquake shook the Instagram scene of Hamburg — a new photospot was discovered. And we're not talking about any spot, but a true banger, one with the power to boost your engagement no matter how many times you repost it.
In the city so photographed that new bangers are almost impossible to find, the news spread like fire. Instagrammers from far and wide, including your favorite Croatian brothers, rushed to witness the majestic scene and finally get some 🔥 Instagram content.
The spot, in spare time serving as the staircase of an office building, soon blew up so much that it basically became a meet and greet place for photographers, who patiently waited their turn to stick their lens through the glass glory hole.
For months to come, barely a day would pass without seeing a variation of this frame on my feed. The spell was so strong that it even crossed oceans and found its way into the grids of some famous North American bangerchasers.
It seemed that the fairy tale would last forever, all until one day when the janitor nailed the window shut, and with it, the dreams of so many; leaving us to contemplate our own reflections in the dirty window glass.

To my surprise, Europe's coldest capital welcomed us with great weather, laid back urban vibe, and this breathtaking cathedral.
So breathtaking that I ended up spending the majority of our 3-day visit in or around this place, marveling at its wonderful architecture and ways it shapes the city landscape.

Early mornings in Paris are some of my dearest travel memories. For this one short hour before the city awakens, before the rivers of tourists and everlasting traffic jams, the City of Light shines the brightest. @ Paris, France

[SOUND ON!] Look who's here — your favorite Croatian brothers dropping a new hyperloop before heading back to Facebook self-isolation.

Lately, we've been working on our Hyperlapse Masterclass, soon-to-be the best online hyperlapse course on the market.
The course will break down the complex hyperlapse process for you to master the technique and raise the production value of your video projects and ultimately monetize this unique knowledge. There will be a ton of examples and we will even provide lots of footage for you to practice on.
For course updates, mini-tutorials and freebies, sign up to our mailing list — www.brotherside.com/hyperlapse-masterclass. Also, we'd love to hear what topics you'd want to see covered in the course.

Other than that, we hope you have mastered your social distancing skills by now and that you have enough of toilet paper. And for our Croatian friends — don't rely too much on Slavonian kulen, green onions and home-made šljivovica this time. Be responsible and stay at home 🔥

Last September your favorite Croatian photographers traveled to several Baltic and Scandinavian cities onboard Tallink Silja ships. Our two-week journey began in Riga, the capital of Latvia and home to 650 thousand people, out of which 38% Russians.

Riga is famous for its impressive historic center, Vecriga, which is considered the finest collection of Art Noveau buildings in Europe. And indeed, it often felt like walking through a gigantic museum. As with most places of such beauty, though, my feeling was that much of the authentic local life has been lost and displaced by tourist-oriented services.

Outside Vecriga, the city felt like an interesting mix of the ex-soviet vibe and the emerging alternative scene with hip places and areas.

Among the many striking corners of the old town, the photo highlight award goes to the House of the Blackheads, built in 1334 as a guild of merchants and shipowners. After being destroyed in WWII bombings, the replica was built in 1999 based on the original blueprints.

Now, if you have come this far, your reward is to let us know in the comments which photo is your least favorite one :)
