A dedicated time-lapse camera documented the site construction and installation of the Parramatta Council vintage bus art project in Sydney. The finished film captures the complete transformation of the public space, showcasing the complex installation process from start to finish.
Weekly progress video
For this sculpture installation, a solar-powered time-lapse camera was secured to an adjacent mall lighting pole. Because dynamic projects require active oversight, we monitored the progress and relocated the system mid-build to optimize the framing. Continuous 24/7 capture allowed us to seamlessly render the day-to-night lighting transitions, ensuring the final footage was as artistic as the installation itself.
Non-destructive mounting methods are utilised to suit the available surfaces and camera positions. These can include wood cowling, silicone and heavy-duty hook-and-loop fastenings.
No. Our outdoor setups utilise custom-built solar systems, while battery-powered cameras are used for interior filming. This means camera positions never need to be tethered to a power outlet.
Camera positions are chosen to show the making or installation of the artwork without obstructing the artist or the public. The Antonia Mrljak studio film used a non-destructive wall mount opposite the artwork. The Sydney Airport sand sculpture film used a camera mounted high on an opposite light pole.
