Technical Excellence
How long can time-lapse captures run continuously?
We support time-lapse projects from single-day shoots to year-long installations. Long-duration projects use weatherproof housings, reliable power (solar, mains, or battery rotation), and large storage solutions. Remote monitoring ensures continuous operation.
What's the difference between time-lapse and hyperlapse?
Time-lapse captures a stationary scene over time (e.g., clouds moving, construction progress). Hyperlapse adds camera movement through space—walking or driving while shooting frames—creating dynamic traveling sequences compressed in time.
What resolution and frame rates do you deliver?
We capture up to 8K resolution and deliver in any required format from 24fps to 60fps. Higher capture resolution allows for stabilization, cropping, and digital zoom in post without quality loss.
Can you handle day-to-night (holy grail) transitions?
Yes. Holy grail time-lapse requires specialized techniques including exposure ramping, aperture adjustment, and ISO management to maintain smooth exposure across dramatic lighting changes. We have extensive experience with these challenging sequences.
What equipment do you use for time-lapse production?
We use professional cameras (Sony, Canon, Nikon) in weatherproof housings with intervalometers, motion control systems (eMotimo, Syrp, custom rigs), solar/battery power, and large-capacity storage. Equipment is matched to project duration and conditions.
How do you handle weather and security for outdoor installations?
Outdoor installations use weatherproof housings rated for local conditions. We coordinate with property owners for secure mounting and access. Remote monitoring alerts us to issues, and we schedule regular maintenance visits for long projects.
