The Building of Pirramimma time-lapse earned prestigious recognition from the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) with a Gold Award.
Over a two year construction period at Wentworth Falls, Electric Films had two main time-lapse cameras tracking the construction of this masterpiece of a building.
The cameras were moved to various positions to track the various construction stages and several other cameras were brought in on a short term basis to capture other aspects of the build.
We perform regular monthly physical checks where lenses are cleaned and systems checked. If a better camera position arises, we liaise with the site managers. All cameras are monitored via a cellular audio link every 2 to 3 days on the average slow build, or at shorter intervals relative to the complexity of the action. Where our cameras are connected to the web, they are monitored daily with the vision being uploaded in real time to our own computers or to yours if required.
To correct minor movement, we stabilise the vision in Adobe After Effects. Further movement requires using a corner pin filter and aligning the vision into shape to match the shots together. Large movement requires the camera to be re-positioned.
As these platforms offer a superior viewpoint, they are often utilised. For regular monthly updates, we run the vision through Adobe After Effects' stabilising program. Superior results can be pre-edited to remove the frames with the largest movement.
Yes. We can provide a live feed to your mobile and can also upload the shots in real time to our computers, or to our client's computer if desired.
On typical construction shoots around a year or more, we shoot every 10 minutes. We reduce this interval to 5 minutes on completion to capture stunning transitions into night to show off your project at its best. Other time-lapse projects the time interval is varied to suit the project.
