From 2018, here's a time-lapse featuring a tandem lift of two 40m gantries near Bristol Parkway Station.  It formed part of the electrification of the London to Cardiff rail route. We find that the combination of Hi-Res stationary cameras (mounted on masts or available infrastructure) and off-the shelf time-lapse cameras (fixed to moving vehicles or cranes) compliment each other nicely.  The latter are smaller, less fragile and easily/quickly attached to vehicles when little

Technology sometimes fails, whether explicably or inexplicably. There's no point pretending that any time-lapse system is perfect - there will be rare occasions when they go down. The fault can often be diagnosed, and possibly fixed, remotely but every so often we'll need rectify the issue in person. Which means driving to site (can be a 10hr or so round trip, at times). We can't always ascertain the problem prior to arrival so must be prepared for any eventuality, going as f

As I've mentioned before, weather (and particularly precipitation) plays a big part in the success or failure of a short-term time-lapse shoot.  A prime example of how to mitigate the detrimental effects of rain on the camera lens was at play in this video , where we filmed the landscaping of a garden for Barratt Homes over a couple of weeks. We advised installing two cameras (the second of which you can see in the background), pointing in almost opposite directions so that,
