TIMELAPSE VIDEOGRAPHY
PROFESSIONAL TIMELAPSE VIDEO SERVICES
Captures the story of a project as it unfolds. By recording images at regular intervals and condensing hours, days or even months into a short, engaging film, timelapse video reveals progress, transformation and achievement in a way that’s both visually compelling and easy to understand.
Timelapse is the perfect way to capture a project that extends over a long period of time. Ranging from construction to horticulture, being able to show a 2 year project in 2 minutes is a powerful tool for progress reporting, pitching for future contracts of work or statistical analysis of safety on sites.
Timelapse photography is a technique that captures a series of images across a timeframe, which is then played back in video format to show the passing of a longer period of time in a short, engaging video. Our timelapse videography provides a powerful way to capture the detail and skill involved in our client’s services.
SO HOW DOES IT ALL WORK?
Easy installation
Our non-invasive timelapse camera system is designed to work in the toughest conditions. Requiring small amounts of power, which is provided by solar, our cameras don’t require any mains electricity when outdoors, making them perfect for working sites where reliable power may not be available.
Real-time monitoring
For peace of mind, our cameras have the capability for real-time monitoring so that you can log on and see exactly what is happening from anywhere in the world. With purpose-built monitoring platforms available, the timelapse cameras take on a second service as a way to check on the status of work remotely.
Cinematic video
What makes us different when it comes to timelapse video is that we approach the final edit with the same care and attention as we do all cinematic video. With a 180-degree field of view to work with, our editors are able to use camera movement to highlight the most important moments of your project in a way that feels engaging and emotive. We are a video production company at heart, so we don’t settle for automatic editing where all of the images are processed in a uniform way. Our editors work on our clients’ videos meticulously removing any frames that don’t make the cut, eliminating any motion blur issues or interruptions from nature. This also gives us the flexibility to remove anything from each frame of the video if needed, whether it’s a person, vehicle or object you would like removed, we can edit the footage to do this for you.
Safety and security
On a construction site, it is important to know how many people are coming and going and where activity is most present. Using AI-powered features, our cameras can create motion-activated heatmaps showing areas of frequent activity as well as filtering activity by vehicle type, humans and plant machinery.
AI dashboard
For added monitoring & analytics, our cameras can provide AI software that points out vehicle movement, PPE anomalies, construction equipment and more, saving our clients time when it comes to reviewing footage and images. As well as highlighting PPE anomalies, the AI dashboard can create an overall HSEQ health score, letting you know at a glance when something is wrong.
Fully customisable remote capture
During timelapse photography capture, there are likely to be moments that you would like to capture in more detail, such as a crane lift, installation or perhaps a night sky. Our timelapse cameras are fully customisable for interval length and duration. This means that with only a short amount of warning, we can switch up the camera settings remotely to the right interval to capture more images during a certain timeframe, giving more footage of a certain action. This then allows us to put that section of footage into slow motion in the edit to give more attention to the key moments.
Flexible contracts
When planning for projects in construction, we all know that delays can happen, and it may take longer than expected. Our timelapse photography contracts are based on a daily capture rate, so you don’t need to worry about us taking the cameras away before your project is finished – we’ll be there till the final piece is complete.
Looking for extra angles? Our bespoke contracts encourage you to make the most out of our cameras by offering discounts on any extra cameras set up on site.
Specialist team
Since the majority of our timelapse videos are captured for the construction industry, safety and knowledge of HSEQ regulations are necessary. That’s why all of our timelapse installation team are CSCS qualified, giving peace of mind to your health and safety team and allowing for a swift and hassle-free installation.
