Timel-lapse is a fantastic film making tool. I frequently use them in corporate and documentary films to show convey the passing of time, they also add a real impact.

They can also be really usefull to chart large engineering and construction projects. Slow operations can be compressed down to a few minutes to allow a viewer to understand how things are built.

Working on the Ormonde Wind Farm film, I managed to capture some stunning time lapse footage of an offshore wind turbine being installed from a camera placed high on a neighbouring turbine.

During this project I also attached a camera to the underside of the famous Goliath crane at Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, to capture the loading of a vessel. These videos was used by the BBC and were their most popular videos on the BBC news website for several days after publication. 

You can see the offshore time-lapse here.

I can provide solutions to capture time periods from a few hours right up to several years.
