Food and drinks manufacturing is an important sector in the UK worth an estimated £30.4 billion. This core element of UK manufacturing represents 15% of all manufacturing turnover in the UK, showing how incredibly vital it is to the UK economy. At Time-Lapse Systems we work extensively with food and drinks manufacturing companies capturing an array of exciting projects for some well-known prestigious clients.

Time-Lapse of Greggs

We time-lapsed work at the Balliol National Distribution Centre for Greggs. This iconic English bakery produces some of the UK’s most treasured food goods and we were asked to provide a number of our up to 8K above Ultra HD systems to capture all activity at the location. This new state-of-the-art £26 million distribution centre helps to consolidate the company’s operation helping to stream-line and run it more efficiently and effectively. The centre has a vast frozen storage facility, fully automated pallet storage and retrieval system, a three storey annexe housing staff facilities, loading docks and plant rooms. Our talented and skilled technicians took some incredible footage showing ‘the life of a pallet’ at the facility, capturing the different elements of this vast warehouse and distribution site. We are known for our high quality time-lapse work, but as this video demonstrates we are able to compliment and accommodate our videos with a range of other filming techniques and styles. Our editors artfully put the sequence together showing the skill of our team.
