Time Lapse Method

On Construction sites, we usually shoot in ten minute intervals in High Dynamic Range. 'HDR' smooths out weather changes as well as seeing further into the darker and lighter areas for superior results.

Our Time Lapse Cameras can be linked to the web where we can control the camera parameters and Time Lapse Intervals.

Our Time Lapse Cameras are at the forefront, pushing technology to the limit.

We use 21 Mega Pixel Cameras (5616x3744 Pixels) with heavy ND filters to get motion blur in daylight and use extensive rendering with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and flicker removal Software.

All helping to produce smoother Time Lapse Videos.

For more details on how we shoot great Time Lapse

Camera Positions
Multiple Cameras are our preference, but on single Camera shoots we like to move the Camera around several times.

This not only freshens up the shot, but gives the impression of having multiple Cameras on the project.

Drone
Our GPS Drone can also shoots matched shots over different days.

Live Cameras
These Cameras can be powered by Sunlight or batteries for several months.

Great for keeping a Eye on your project from the convenience of your mobile phone.

Progress Videos
Videos are usually supplied Monthly after High Dynamic Range processing and flicker removal.

At completion of your construction, we usually shoot in five minute intervals to capture transitions from Sunlight to Moonlight to show off your project at it's best.

High Dynamic Range (HDR)

For superior results we shoot in HDR

Normal Exposure vs HDR

Shooting in HDR reveals details in the Shadows and Highlights.

Travelling to Queensland he shot and Directed a large quantity of Local Television Commercials winning two National Awards.
