Electric Films specialises in construction and Industrial time-lapse and drone Photography 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 site proof, battery, solar and electric powered time-lapse camera systems and specialise in high-end site documentation with monthly videos 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 desktop daily. This connection enables us to 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 45MP high-resolution stills imagery using advanced High Dynamic Range (HDR) exposure methods to make up our 4k monthly videos. This premium methodology smooths out harsh lighting shifts caused by variable weather changes on 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, we drop down to five-minute 24/7 intervals to photograph beautiful transitions to the magic hour, showcasing your completed asset at its best where large poster photographs and cinematic videos can be obtained.
Industrial Construction & Civil 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 can be brought in on a short term basis.
ACS Awards for Construction Time-lapse Videos
Electric Films has won several prestigious Awards from the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) for our Time-lapse Videos: Gold, for both the Building of Pirramimma and Goldfields House Demolition, and Silver for the Launch of a new Samsung phone.
Civil Engineering & Infrastructure Time-lapse Joint Ventures
Electric Films delivers site documentation time-lapse videos and high-impact stills for major and minor industrial developments. Our extensive portfolio features productions from a diverse range of high to low risk environments, highlighting our specialied experience in capturing critical milestones safely and with precision. We have documented large civil engineering infrastructure programs including the Epping to Thornleigh Third Track and the installation of heavy precast concrete girders for the M2 Freeway Railway Bridge and John Holland's Railway Bridge in Dubbo and several other bridges and overpasses in Sydney. In Western Australia, we covered the construction of Harvey Dam and Pipeline to Perth as well as the construction of several Mines from dig to commissioning.
Commercial High-Rise Build Projects & Site Demolitions
From the multi-tower urban renewal at Parramatta Square to Billbergia's high-density residential towers at Rhodes Central and a multitude of other developments across Sydney and NSW including, our time-lapse cameras have captured these structural events from ground-breaking to handover. Our Gold Award-Winning documentation of the Goldfields House Demolition in Sydney's CBD showcases our ability to track complex long term high-risk environments both safely and creatively.
Renewable Energy & Industrial Facilities Tracking
Electric Films is trusted by leading energy and technology partners. We have deployed our time-lapse cameras and drones to capture utility-scale assets, including the AGL Solar Farm in Regional NSW, the large-scale Tesla Industrial Battery Installation at Wallgrove in Sydney, and the secure high-tech building of NEXTDC's Data Centre at Gore Hill.
Civil Infrastructure, Construction & Industrial Time-lapse 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 monthly 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 45MP resolution photographs, which make up the base of our videos, are shot on an average of 10 minutes intervals are a great asset to have.
Long-Term Time-Lapse Site Hazards & Solutions
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.
