Patience is a virtue

We all love a good ‘before & after’ transformation which is probably why timelapse videos remain such a firm favourite with viewers!

Whether you’re looking to document the build of an iconic construction project, showcase the installation of brand new equipment or give viewers behind-the-scenes access to a busy event setup, timelapse condenses hours, days, weeks and even months of footage into seconds of highly engaging video content.

At Humanoid, we’re experienced at producing a variety of different time-lapse styles, that all have one thing in common – the wow factor!

What is a timelapse?

A time-lapse is a series of images taken at intervals over a long period of time, played back at high-speed to form a fast paced sequence. Timelapses lasting hours or days can take advantage of advanced production techniques, like high dynamic range photography or robotic camera mounts to create cinematic visuals.

For lengthier shoots unmaned cameras are installed on location, programmed to take shots automatically at regular intervals and monitored routinely by a technician over the course of weeks or even months.

Whatever the method, timelapses are a non-intrusive, visually captivating record of time. Great for bitesize social media content, they can make even tedious and drawn-out processes appear both effortless and exciting!

Take a look at a selection of our recent timelapses below to help give you some inspiration!
