Featured Work
Long-Term Construction Timelapse
We have experience with time lapsing construction sites for 14+ consecutive months. Our clients include SJ Hamill Construction, the SC Port Authority, and Trident Technical College. We offer stationary ground cameras that remain in one location for the duration of the project, and what we call a ‘drone-lapse’ where we capture the same angles from an aerial perspective at set intervals. See some of our work below.
