What other time-lapse services do you offer.
As simple as it sounds, a time-lapse is a series a pictures done from the same position over time. This picture sequence is assembled and blend together to create a video speeding up the time things happened.
There are many ways taking this picture sequence can be achieve.
Depending on the project constraints, we have plenty of options when a time-lapse enclosure cannot be installed.
For example, we have aerial platform that can stay long enough in the air to cover a process.
We also have GPS positioning on board to make sure our drone can fly at the exact same position in the sky few days (or months) apart.
Later this aerial sequence can be assembled and aligned to get a amazing bird view of your construction project.
We also provided time-lapse service with an operator able to move the camera and put it back depending on the work done. Again; we have the video production advantage to fix the possible movements and get an amazing result impossible to gather otherwise.
Last but not least; we offer time-lapse day rate with an operator and many automatic cameras. He will place them around the process to capture, and reposition them over the day to gather plenty of different video sequences. This is the perfect way to follow a loading process or assembly. It’s great to document booth construction or bts of staging.

What is the weather like in Hong Kong ?
The outside weather is challenging in Hong Kong half of the year.
With a very warm and sometime extremely wet weather as many South Asia countries can experiment, installing a camera in an enclosure under the sun can be quite complicated. Hong Kong have the plum rain, aka rainy season, starting May to June where sudden and frequent heavy rain can occur.
Cyclone are quite frequent and our enclosure are ready for such. We can’t offer to take any risk with safety in your own construction site.
If the time lapse recording is supposed to happen during the hot July and August months, it’s important to get forced cooling time-lapse housing.
The second but main and issue is the polluted air coming from mainland China that may block landscape view. As we are shooting RAW with plenty of dynamic range, our amera can drasticly reduce this effect and keep shooting were other regular monitoring video camera will not be able to display anything usable.
You can have some overview of possible blue sky with fast moving white clouds here.
What movies kind of time-lapse have you been working on?
We are mainly corporate video production oriented company but have been filming plenty of events too.
We did produce time-lapse video during fair to witness booth construction. This is a classic request when you need to communicate about your pop shop.
For Sephora Asia flag store opening; we created banner hanging processing (2 days duration) and the full construction follow up during many months.
On the World Expo 2010, we created many behind the scene movies to document the opening ceremony show design. Some time-lapse lasted one hour to many days. It was done with multiple cameras working together.
Even if we are able to offer time-lapse complete housing solution, we will be happy to come with smaller photography system to document your event.
Feel free to visit this page (click) that present few video extracts of our past work.
Do you deliver camera housing or provide installation service outside Hong Kong ?
Yes, All is possible.
For installation service, we cane easily reach Macao or China and did so by the past. We have project with a company based in Singapore, traveling is not an issue.
If you like like to buy the enclosure only; we can surely ship it where you are in the world.
Please connect with us describing your time-lapse needs to see if we can help you getting your movie done.
What is inside your time lapse enclosure? Do you use GoPro?
We have been working on reliability for years and found that Canon DSLR fits many of our requirements.
From manual focus lenses to sturdy camera body; this brand have been our partner since we started. Nikon may be a nice contender, but their offer are more limited.
Mirrorless camera are not ideal for a time-lapse setup so most of Sony are out of our offer.
It goes the same with Panasonic and their smaller sensor size.
It’s without secret that you will find a Canon DSLR body if you open our time-lapse system.
We have many camera models that can work and so many possible resolution; from full frame to crop sensor.
On the other side, as we can provide you to rent or buy the enclosure only, we will be happy to let you install whatever brand you like and GoPro may be the one you feel confident working with.
Unfortunately, a GoPro do not provide a comparable reliable result as for now, so we will not advise such choice on a long term construction time-lapse.
As the weather in Hong Kong can be quite extreme, that would put the entire project at risk if pictures are lost at one point.
Hyper-lapse vs Time-lapse, what are the differences?
Both hyper-lapse and time-lapse are a succession of pictures and assembled together to create a movie to to speed up time.
The time stretch goes from few seconds interval between frame, to many hours or days.
In a time-lapse setup; the camera is almost static. It may be on a slider from time to time, but the movement is very limited. It’s the perfect way to follow a building construction or long time process.
With a hyper-lapse movie, the camera is now moving when taking picture and can even zoom and follow a path.
The final movie brings you somewhere more than just witnessing a project being built
