Timelapse photography wasn’t so popular back in 20 and only a few people were doing this really well, such as Matjoez, he has been a big inspiration and why I kept creating timelapse videos at the time. To my surprise, the channel started to get some decent following and it was super exciting. In 2015, I started shooting some Youtube videos in French just for fun, some tutorials to teach the craft. So, I kept on shooting, creating new content, travelling to new cities like San Diego, San Francisco, New York or Las Vegas for example, to expand my portfolio.Ī few years later, I realized that I loved that lifestyle and that I wanted to keep on creating timelapse videos. I was happy that I started making some decent money in less than a year. My work for that first company made me discover Videohive and Pond5 and other marketplace websites where artists can sell their own work! I realized that I could upload the few timelapses I created in the past, hopefully to make some money. I was already shooting timelapse videos for fun at the time, but nothing crazy.
Things didn’t go so well towards the end of 2015, so I decided to leave this company when I got my new visa, which allowed me to work for different employers and be a little freer. I was very happy when a company gave me the opportunity to come to Los Angeles to work as a video editor and camera operator. I moved from France 8 years ago now, to pursue the American Dream I would say! I have always been attracted to the US as a teenager, so right after college, I started looking for an internship somewhere in New York or Los Angeles. Tell us more about your move to the United States and how you developed as a timelapse specialist I learned photography over the years just by shooting and watching some Youtube tutorials once in a while! The following year in 2013, I moved to the United States and this is where it all begins. I say “more” because I was still shooting JPEG and wasn’t even sure how my settings affected my photos, but at least I was shooting image sequences.

I could not create content if I wasn’t able to share it!Ī year later, in 2012, I purchased my first real DSLR camera, a Canon t3i (600D in Europe) and started shooting “more” professional timelapses. Almost no need to say the video looks really crappy, but because of the feedback I received, this video alone gave me so much motivation and energy to keep creating this kind of content! Still today, sharing my work with my community is such an important part of my workflow. For fun, I created a few timelapses of my hometown of Angers in France, and posted the videos on Youtube. Hey Alex, thanks for this opportunity! As mentioned in the intro, my name is Emeric Le Bars, I’m a French video editor and timelapse photographer currently living in Los Angeles.īack in 2011, my parents gifted me a small Panasonic camcorder with a basic timelapse feature. Hi Emeric, really love your work and it is inspiring to watch your beautiful timelapses.
Emeric has been working in time-lapse photography for the past 8 years and will be sharing his knowledge, experience and insight with us. It’s a pleasure to interview Emeric Le Bars, a timelapse specialist based in Los Angeles.
