Just a very quick time lapse video of some log stacking. Just 2 cubic metres apparently, but a fine job done I think. My parents were very happy with me.
A two day kitchen fit out by IPS Kitchens of Leamington Spa.
This time lapse shows IPS Kitchens fitting a bespoke kitchen for a company in Leamington Spa. Previously the room had been used as a meeting space, but now gives the staff a practical breakout area with full cooking facilities.
The time lapse was recorded with a Go Pro HD camera set to shoot one frame every ten seconds. The whole process took a little less than 16 hours, and happened over two days, obviously the night has been edited out.
The kind of job that usually lasts for months if not years, to see a new building growing from the foundations to completion. This time lapse video was created for O’Brien Contractors as just a sample of the kind of work we could do for them.
It’s fascinating to see the heavy plant machinery so expertly controlled, and when watched in this format, you realise just how massive these machines are compared to the tiny little people running around them. And how delicate and precise the work they do really is.
This time lapse video was shot using a GoPro HD camera mounted on a tall tripod extending from the site office cabins. We also had a backup Canon 300D SLR also shooting time lapse photographs at a slower rate, controlled using Granite Bay software running on a PC.
This is like the sequel to the dresser (or chest of drawers if you’re British), and although the resulting time-lapse is very similar, the whole build process was slightly less satisfying. Perhaps because my wife and mother had started the job (and given up), perhaps because the doors would hang evenly. Or perhaps because it just isn’t the baby cot yet (coming soon – the third part of the trilogy).
Time lapse is still as much fun as it has always been, some of the things I get to do include major construction projects, restaurant refurbs, complex manufacturing processes. But I really enjoy shooting a dinner party, or a game of football just as much.
Time lapse is ace!
