News Our Time-Lapse footage used by the BBC

Time-Lapse Systems has had the privilege of contributing to the visual storytelling of the Matt Hampson Foundation’s initiatives, particularly through the documentation of the construction of the Get Busy Living Centre. This footage has been utilised by various media outlets, including the BBC, to showcase the foundation’s efforts in supporting individuals with life-changing injuries.

The Matt Hampson Foundation and the Get Busy Living Centre

Established by former England rugby player Matt Hampson, who became tetraplegic following a training accident in 2005, the Matt Hampson Foundation aims to inspire and support young people seriously injured through sport. A cornerstone of the foundation’s work is the Get Busy Living Centre, a state-of-the-art facility offering rehabilitation services, specialist personal training, and a supportive community environment for beneficiaries and their families.

Time-Lapse Documentation of the Centre’s Construction

In 2016, the foundation embarked on transforming a derelict aircraft hangar in Leicestershire into the Get Busy Living Centre. Time-Lapse Systems was commissioned to document this transformation, capturing the entire construction process from inception to completion. The resulting time-lapse footage provided a dynamic visual narrative of the project’s development, highlighting the collaborative efforts involved in bringing the centre to fruition.

Integration into BBC Coverage

The BBC, in its coverage of Matt Hampson’s journey and the foundation’s initiatives, incorporated segments of our time-lapse footage to illustrate the construction of the rehabilitation centre. This visual element enriched the storytelling by offering viewers a comprehensive understanding of the scale and significance of the project. The footage underscored the foundation’s commitment to creating a facility that addresses the unique needs of individuals recovering from serious injuries.
