Shooting a timelapse movie
Presentation of a construction project using modern technologies
TIME-LAPSE FILMS — documentary, corporate, or educational films shot using time-lapse technology or incorporating time-lapse videos within their structure.
Our Capabilities
We not only shoot time-lapses but also create complete corporate films for construction companies, which include:
Development and writing of scripts
We have a large editorial team consisting of both professional screenwriters and writers (yes, we also publish books). This allows us to understand and incorporate any of your ideas into the script.
Films by an operator
Currently, more than 30 operators across the country collaborate with us, enabling us to respond quickly to events anywhere. However, when necessary, we gather and travel to any part of the world.
Films with a drone
We shoot with all types of drones, both industrial-grade and those assembled by us for specific tasks. Thanks to the use of FPV technology, we can capture footage that others can only dream of.
Creating graphics
Nowadays, even a small video is unimaginable without computer graphics, so we have assembled a team of professionals in our studio to create both simple and clear infographics as well as complex 3D models for our films.
Sound design
Our sound engineers can select a ready-made musical composition for your film or compose a piece of music specifically for you. We can also organize voiceover recordings or interviews.
Color correction and editing
All elements of your film will be carefully processed and combined so that even the most discerning viewer understands the significance of your project and your company.
Examples of films using timelapse
A corporate time-lapse film typically includes not only shooting with professional time-lapse cameras but also script development, filming by an operator and drone, as well as graphic and musical design.
Hockey Classic
This film was created by us to present a unique project of converting the "Gazprom Arena" football stadium for hockey matches of the Russian National Team and HC "SKA." The creation of this film took 2 months. A total of 5 time-lapse cameras from TimeTechnology were used. Additionally, as part of this project, we developed the script for the video, created a 3D model of the stadium, conducted drone filming both inside and outside the arena, and produced the film's musical score. The games themselves were filmed by teams of professional operators assembled by us.
Project Institute
A presentation film about one of the oldest design institutes in our country. Our task was, on one hand, to showcase the scale of the work done over 70 years, and on the other, to show the life and projects of the institute right now. This project presented several challenges for us. On one hand, we were tasked with filming all the acting scenes within the institute's walls, while on the other, we could not interrupt the employees' workflow. For this film, we created several 3D models of the buildings designed by the institute based on blueprints. We were able to film four construction site locations in different parts of the country using our professional time-lapse cameras; however, drone filming required us to organize trips.
Manzherok Resort
A few years ago, construction began on the "Manzherok" ski resort in Altai. Initially, design work and the construction of the first line of lifts were carried out. Our task was to document the initial construction work and showcase the creation of the first element of the future resort. Our professional time-lapse cameras successfully operated in challenging weather conditions, without a 220-volt power supply, using battery packs, and transmitting information over a 3G network. The editing of the video was completed in a very tight timeframe for presentation at a reporting meeting.
Residential Complex on Silver Boulevard
The construction of a residential building on Silver Boulevard was the first for the construction company, which is why it was important for them to highlight this project as an example of their capabilities. We developed a 3D model of the residential building specifically to showcase all its advantages, while time-lapse cameras installed nearby demonstrated the speed and stages of the work performed. The creation of this film lasted for 2 years, during which we closely monitored all stages and advised the builders on when and what needed to be documented for the future film, allowing us to gather unique materials on the construction of this project.
How do we shoot timelapse?
In our films, one of the main elements is time-lapse videos. Thanks to them, we can literally show a lengthy construction process in just a few seconds. To shoot time-lapse videos, we have developed our own software and hardware complex, which allows us to create these impressive episodes.
Our specially designed time-lapse camera is intended for capturing long-term time-lapses in challenging weather, climatic, and industrial conditions. The camera can confidently operate from various power sources, including battery packs and solar panels, transmitting information via LAN, Wi-Fi, and 3G/4G networks. The camera is certified by Rosstandart.
Our internet service, developed by our programmers, allows for the online creation of time-lapse films and provides access to a fully structured archive of photographs from the entire production period. It integrates any IP and time-lapse cameras, ensuring their online video streaming. The service is certified by Rospatent.

OUR ADVANTAGES
We have many advantages, including professionalism, knowledge, and a large fleet of diverse equipment; however, we consider the most important to be:
Extensive Experience
To date, we have worked on more than 300 construction sites in our country and abroad. We have created films about small private cottages as well as large residential complexes, about the construction of schools and the reconstruction of our industrial giants, bridges, roads, kindergartens, museums, monuments, and skyscrapers. We have accumulated truly unique experience, which allows us to anticipate important moments on site and capture them at the right time.
Full Control
We assign a manager to each project, who oversees the entire project from start to finish, serving as a single point of contact for all your questions. Our manager monitors what is happening at the construction site, maintains contact with the foreman and engineers, and at the right moment, without prompting, sends operators to capture the most significant, informative, and impressive moments for the viewer. This is a significant administrative task, and we do it to ensure the film turns out well.
Responsiveness
Thanks to a large number of employees in different parts of the country, we can quickly and efficiently provide filming services anywhere. Having our own studio with a team of editors allows us to prepare intermediate videos from the filmed materials about the project for presentations, reports, and exhibitions in the shortest possible time. Additionally, our teams of installation engineers can set up our professional time-lapse cameras on-site or repair already installed ones in the shortest time, sometimes even within a few hours.
