News Spotlight on Five of Our Current Projects 2024: Part 1
Time-Lapse Systems: The UK’s Leading Time-Lapse Provider
Here at Time-Lapse Systems we have established ourselves as the UK’s premier provider of time-lapse services through a combination of technical expertise, extensive industry experience, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results. Our track record across a diverse range of projects—from construction and infrastructure to arts and events—demonstrates our ability to meet the unique demands of any sector.
One key factor that sets us apart is our in-house development of cutting-edge camera technology. Unlike many providers who rely on off-the-shelf solutions, we design and build our camera systems to ensure they meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. This custom approach allows us to capture high-resolution images in any environment, whether it’s a busy urban construction site or a remote, weather-exposed location. Our equipment is robust, weatherproof, and capable of continuous operation in challenging conditions, ensuring no critical moment is missed.
In addition to superior hardware, our service is distinguished by our attention to detail throughout the project lifecycle. From initial consultation and site surveys to final delivery and ongoing support, we maintain a close partnership with our clients. This collaboration ensures that the time-lapse footage not only meets but often exceeds their expectations. We tailor our solutions to match the specific needs of each project, providing flexible deployment options and custom editing to highlight key aspects of the captured footage.
Our team brings together a wealth of experience in both photography and video production, enabling us to offer a comprehensive service that extends beyond just capturing images. We handle everything from the installation to the editing and post-production. This end-to-end service means that clients can trust us to manage every aspect of their project, from start to finish, with a consistent level of quality.
With our blend of bespoke technology, dedicated service, and deep industry expertise, Time-Lapse Systems is the go-to choice for time-lapse projects across the UK. We consistently deliver compelling visual narratives that capture the essence of any project, making us the leader in the field.
We thought it would be a lovely idea to look at some of our current projects to show the broad range of genres that we work in. Stay tuned as over the coming months this will be a regular feature! Here we love at our work for healthcare, property development, infrastructure, private residential builds and internal construction work.
Alder Hey Children’s Hospital
We have been capturing construction work at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool since 2020. Over the course of the project, we have installed three of our time-lapse cameras to document construction work. One of these has focused on ‘Sunflower House’, a four-tier mental health inpatient unit for young people aged between 5-13. The building integrates abundant natural light through its wide bay windows, ensuring ample illumination to create a calming environment for patients whilst not compromising privacy. The building features a therapy garden, a safe kitchen area, 12 specially designed bedrooms, a sensory room, a de-stimulation room, group therapy rooms and classrooms to meet the needs of patients.
Alun Griffiths Flood Defence Work in Wales
Sea defences, coastal protection and river works are frequently reported in the media as a critical issue. Alun Griffiths asked us to capture a recent project comprising inland flood protection and defence work in Newport, Wales. At Time-Lapse Systems we offer a range of other services alongside our time-lapse and site-monitoring photography. We are diverse specialists in aerial, film, web and 360 capture. The Welsh government’s commitment to the flood defence scheme in Newport along the River Usk has been widely reported in the media.
The project will look to protect over 2,000 properties, leisure spaces, amenities and local infrastructure, such as the A48, Newport International Sports Village, Newport Stadium and Dragon Park from the risk of a flood. Contactors will be responsible for raising existing earth embankments, creating new flood walls, a highway and flood gate. This £21 million scheme will also comprise three new urban forests planted around Coronation Park to mitigate the loss of shrubs and trees in the construction process.
Our engineers and certified drone pilots, Paul and Josh, travelled down to Newport to install ten of our bespoke time-lapse cameras, which will capture the full sheet wall being constructed. The project looks to be completed in Autumn 2024 and our drone team have also carried out fortnightly drone flyovers to monitor all progress.
Barratt Hendon Waterside
We have provided two of our cameras to capture the different phases of the Barratt Hendon Waterside development project. This exciting regeneration project will provide space for over 2,000 accommodation and retail units, a primary school, community buildings, open spaces as-well as infrastructure developments to create a thriving, sustainable and cohesive neighbourhood. We love the distinct character and architecture of the plans of this build and how sustainability is at the centre of this new re-visioning of modern city living.
The House of Canford Cliffs
We are currently time-lapsing this beautiful property in Poole, Dorset where we provided three of our specialist time-lapse camera systems. This family home, designed in the French Chateau style, will be built on a gently sloping site, utilising four levels. It stands out as one of the largest houses to be constructed in the area in the past 20 years and is situated in a highly coveted neighbourhood with views of Parkstone Golf Club, just a short distance from Poole Harbour. Our private clients will soon have access to an array of amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, Turkish bath, wine cellar, gym, cinema, lounge bar, and multiple living and entertainment spaces. Our team installed our cameras in May 2023, to capture both the demolition of the existing building and the construction of this unique property.
TVS
In July 2024 we installed one of our time-lapse systems to capture a two-week resurfacing sports hall project for our client TVS. We have documented the removal of the existing flooring at this secondary school in Twickenham and the specialist re-laying of a multi-sport durable surface. We have worked with our client on a number of projects all over the country and we are proud that the majority of our clients come back to us, giving us repeat work.
At Time-Lapse Systems we take pride in our work and we always want to meet the exacting standards that our clients set for us. We work in a diverse range of sectors, documenting projects for varying periods of time.
