HOW MUCH WILL A TIME LAPSE VIDEO COST?
Every location presents a different set of challenges so we always recommend a site visit so we can assess the location and discuss your requirements in detail. We can then supply options and costs for your time lapse video solutions and install any number of cameras for any length of time in any location. Combining the best camera technology and the latest post-production software we can deliver SD, HD, 4K and 6K time lapse films.
A solution for every budget. The complexity of your project will determine the cost.
THE CHOICES YOU NEED TO MAKE: 1. HOW MANY CAMERAS DO YOU NEED? 2. FOR HOW LONG? 3. WHERE DO YOU WANT THE CAMERAS POSITIONED?

HOW MANY CAMERAS?
How many cameras do you need? This will be determined by how many angles of coverage you require. If your budget allows, we do recommend having at least two cameras as this enables a more interesting final edit as we have two angles of view to work with during editing. Large scale projects with many different factors happening simultaneously, might need several cameras to cover all the action.
We can of course move the cameras to cover different positions or key events during the schedule as the project progresses.
FOR HOW LONG?
Hours? Days? Weeks? Years? We can install as many cameras as you require for as long as you like. This will usually be determined by the length of the project.
Aswell as recording the whole build process, we can install extra cameras during the project to document certain key events in more detail.
CAMERA POSITIONS
Where do you want the cameras positioned? We will always endeavour to position the cameras in the most advantages position to capture the key action. If possible we will avoid positioning the cameras facing directly into the sun and ideally in a position with some protection from the elements. Points to consider:
-
Is there electricity supply? (If not we have alternative power options).
-
Are there any high viewpoints? (If not we can provide scaffold towers, masts, fixings etc).

DO YOU NEED SOME HELP WITH YOUR PROJECT?
Once you have chosen how many cameras you need, the position and for how long, you need to think about what you are going to do with all your time lapse footage? We appreciate that commissioning a time lapse video may be a little daunting, so we have set out the basic steps that will help you through the process.
The first step is to compile THE BRIEF. This helps us understand your needs. Keep it short, but identify the following:
- What do you want to say and to whom?
- What is the aim of the video? To inform, educate, sell or motivate?
- What is the message you want to convey? This will form the basis of your script.
- Where will the film be shown? Website, Trade shows, social media or DVD?
- What is your timescale? When will the film need to be delivered by?
- Do you have any specific requirements? Special effects or animation?
- Budget? It’s good to have an idea of what you want to spend.
- How do you want the video to look? This is called the “treatment”. Have you seen something that you like? Think about a Voiceover and Music.
- Filming? What is the availability of staff, locations and resources?
- Do you need any video or photography that could be done at the same time, therefore saving money?
