Construction & Infrastructure Time-lapse Show Reel
Electric Films provides expert construction time-lapse services, infrastructure build tracking, and industrial cinematography for the Sydney and NSW construction industry. With over 20 years of experience, we specialize in high end project documentation, managing multi-camera time-lapse systems, and providing high-end post-production for commercial and civil engineering projects.
From long-term site documentation to high-impact cinematic completion videos, Electric Films provides fully managed, battery, element proof, solar or electric powered professional time-lapse camera systems.
Our Cinematographer, Graeme Beck is a Multi Award Winning Cameraman who is highly regarded for his professional work in Industrial Cinematography and Time-lapse photography. He delivers high-end HDR time-lapse systems tailored for tier-1 to tier-3 builders, civil infrastructure projects, industrial engineering clients to independent boutique builders in Sydney.
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 filming.
Our technical production expertise bridges the gap between artistic cinematography and rugged industrial photography requirements. Electric Films doesn't just 'set and forget' a remote site camera system, 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? It's boring. We cover most projects with one camera moved several times throughout the build. Where there are sections that can't be covered by the main camera, additional cameras can be brought in on a short term basis.
While Graeme is visiting your site on a regular basis, why not shoot some Video or Drone footage to supplement your project. His multi award winning Cinematography will ensure your project will look its best.
Our Methods
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 construction sites while recovering clarity within shadowed and brightly lit features alike.
Our custom time-lapse units feature cellular connectivity to the web, uploading photos to our FTP site. This connection also enables us to remotely control time intervals during different stages of development.
During post-production, advanced deflicker software and our dedicated editing techniques are applied to ensure smooth results far superior to other production companies.
At final handover, intervals drop down to five-minute 24/7 to photograph beautiful transitions from sunset to moonlight, showing your completed asset at its best.
Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) Awards for 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 Samsung's new Android phone.
Professional Construction & Infrastructure Video Production Capabilities
Electric Films delivers end-to-end site documentation and high-impact marketing visuals for major and minor industrial developments. Our extensive portfolio features productions from a diverse range of high to low risk environments, highlighting our specialized experience in capturing critical milestones safely and with absolute precision. Our remote camera systems are built to withstand the rigors of long-term Industrial site hazards.
Large Civil Engineering Infrastructure Projects
We have documented several large civil engineering infrastructure programs including the Epping to Thornleigh Third Track and the complex installation of heavy precast concrete girders for the M2 Freeway Railway Bridge and several railway overpasses in Sydney. In Western Australia, we have covered the construction of Harvey Dam and Pipeline to Perth as well as several mines from dig to commissioning. We also shot the building of several 100m catamarans for the large Shipping Company Austal.
High-Rise Commercial Builds & Major 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 John Holland's Railway bridge in Dubbo, our time-lapse cameras and drones 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
Electric Films is trusted by leading energy and technology partners. We have deployed our time-lapse, drone and video cameras to capture utility-scale assets, including the AGL Solar Farm in Regional NSW, the large-scale Tesla Industrial Battery Installation, and the secure high-tech building of NEXTDC's Data Centre at Gore Hill.
Construction & Industrial Time-lapse and Media Release Videos
View our extensive portfolio of edited construction videos. While most of our output consists mainly of monthly progress Videos, we always shoot these monthly time lapse videos with an eye on them being edited together for a short promotional video at the completion of the build. These 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 record the site in great detail.
