Feeding Frenzy - Venus Flytrap Cinematic Blooming Time Lapse

[Jens Heidler]

Hey everyone,
I was fliming my sundew and venus flytraps the last 4 weeks to create a cinematic macro time lapse.
To get a clean black background I put a softbox on top of my plants and took images every 30 seconds at F16, iso100 with my 90mm macro lens. The B-Roll was filmed using a slider and the Laowa 24mm F14 Probe/Sniper Lens.
After a huge feeding frenzy last autumn I did not feed my plants for 6 month...somehow the did not care and started blooming
Although the light was was constant (just 1 light source in a dark room) the flower change its growing direction a lot of times (any ideas why?)
If you have any other question regarding my setup, just feel free to ask

Incredible. Just starting out with a Venus fly trap...any tips/advice you have would be appreciated. (Had it delivered mid-winter in Colorado so got off to a rough start but I think it’s going to make it)
