Time-lapse and Drone Photography for the Construction Industry

Electric Films specialises in construction and Industrial time-lapse Photography as well as drone and video cinematography across sydney and NSW. Our Cinematographer, Graeme Beck is a master of shooting time-lapse video. A Multi Award Winning Cameraman who is highly regarded for his professional work in Industrial Cinematography and Time-lapse Photography. Electric Films make and manage element proof, battery, solar or electric powered time-lapse camera systems and specialise in high-end long term site documentation and high-impact cinematic completion videos for civil engineering and infrastructure projects, tier-1 to tier-3 and independent builders across Sydney and N.S.W.

Our custom built time-lapse units feature cellular connectivity to the web, uploading photos to our FTP site. This connection enables us to remotely monitor and control time intervals during different stages of development. On construction sites and architectural builds, we usually shoot in ten minute intervals to capture 5k high-resolution imagery using advanced High Dynamic Range (HDR) exposure methods. This premium methodology smooths out harsh lighting shifts caused by variable weather changes on exterior construction sites while recovering detailed clarity within shadowed and brightly lit features alike. During post-production, advanced digital deflicker software and our dedicated editing techniques are applied to ensure smooth results superior to other production companies. At final handover, intervals drop down to five-minute 24/7 to photograph beautiful transitions from sunlight to moonlight, showing your completed asset at its best.

Construction & Infrastructure Time-lapse Show Reel

Our technical production expertise bridges the gap between artistic cinematography and rugged industrial photography requirements. With over 25 years of experience our Industrial body of work is celebrated for its creative depth and technical precision in the challenging niche of long-term commercial and heavy industrial time-lapse photography.

Electric Films doesn't just 'set and forget' a remote site camera, we continuously monitor and do frequent site visits to ensure you receive optimal camera positioning for quality results. We just don't leave a camera on a pole for the duration of the project. We move the camera to follow the action. Would you like to watch a movie shot from the one camera position? No, it's boring. We shoot the average project with one or two cameras moved several times throughout the build. Where there are additional sections that need to be shot, cameras are brought in on a short term basis.

While visiting your site on a regular basis, shoot some Video or Drone footage to supplement your project. Our multi award winning Cinematography will ensure your project will look its best.

Time_Lapse Edited Videos

View our extensive portfolio of Edited Time-lapse Videos. While most of our output consists mainly of Monthly Progress Videos, we always shoot these videos with an eye on them being edited together for promotional videos to avoid 'jump cuts' when two consecutive shots are put together. The monthly videos run at a few minutes each and are great for looking at your project's progress or for any Site Issues that may arise during the course of construction. Our 5k resolution photographs are a great asset to have.

The Hazards of Shooting Time Lapse

Long-term time-lapse photography on heavy industrial infrastructure, civil engineering projects, tier-1 to tier-3 and boutique building construction sites introduces harsh realities that standard time-lapse shooting never encounters. Our award-winning cinematographer shares essential professional strategies for securing stable, high-end site captures over months or years.
