Time-lapse

The progress is clear on site… but its sequence isn't always clear in your content

In construction, fit-out, installation and event projects, it's hard to convey hours of work and successive changes through scattered photos. Viewers may see the final result without understanding the stages that got the project there.

• A project manager needs to present the sequence of work to management or partners without going through long hours of footage.
• A marketing team needs visual material that shows what changed on site, not just a final shot.
• An event organiser wants to show how the venue was set up and transformed before guests arrived.

Time-lapse shows how a site changes over time from a carefully chosen angle, making the progress of work clear in a single clip rather than a collection of separate shots.

We turn the duration of the work into a visual sequence you can follow

We survey the site and choose an angle that clearly shows movement and change, then set camera positions and capture intervals to suit the nature and duration of the work. After filming, we process the images and assemble them into a video that shows the actual stages captured.

Time-lapse doesn't replace detailed filming or project progress reports; its role is to show change and movement over time in condensed visual content.

This service suits you if

• You manage a construction or development project and need to show the progress of work and its stages visually.
• You work in finishing or space fit-out and want to document how a site was transformed before, during and after the work.
• You're organising an exhibition, conference or event and need to film the venue setup and the installation of its elements.
• You manage an infrastructure project or field works and want concise material that presents the stages of completion.
• You need visual documentation of an installation, operation or activity that lasts hours or days.

If your goal is to capture details of a site at a single moment from multiple angles, standard or aerial filming may be a better fit. Time-lapse is specifically for showing what has changed over time.

Why KOMIT?

1. 01

   We choose an angle that reveals change

   Before mounting, we review work activity, construction paths, lighting and the sun's movement so the chosen angle can capture as much of the site's transformation as appropriate.

2. 02

   We match the filming to the project's duration

   We set the intervals, equipment placement and monitoring approach according to the nature of the activity and the coverage period; a session of a few hours is different from following a project that runs for weeks.

3. 03

   We deliver a sequence that's ready to use

   The work doesn't stop at capture; we sort the images, check their stability, process them and assemble them into a clear edit that can be used in the project's corporate or marketing materials.

A time-lapse service from shot planning to the final video

Short-job coverage

• Continuous filming of up to 5 hours on site, suited to event setups and work of limited duration.
• A final time-lapse video with a reference length of 15–30 seconds, including image processing and editing according to the production scope.

Long-term project coverage

• Filming over days or weeks according to the project schedule, with camera positions, monitoring approach and required maintenance defined.
• One condensed main video or a custom video series, with the final length and number of versions set according to the project's needs.

What the work includes

• Site survey, choice of mounting angle, camera and capture-interval setup, and monitoring of the recording according to plan.
• Sorting the material, colour correction and stabilisation, preparing the final version, and adding brand elements where agreed.

Equipment, duration and additional versions are determined after reviewing the site and the length of coverage. Some sites may require special mounting equipment, and operating and weather conditions affect the approved plan.

How we work

1. 1

   Understand the documentation need

   We define the type of project, its stages and duration, the audience who will watch the video and how it will be used.

2. 2

   Survey the site

   We study work activity, lighting and the sun's movement, and choose the mounting angle and the right equipment position.

3. 3

   Define the capture plan

   We set the coverage period, filming intervals and monitoring approach, and review any requirements on site.

4. 4

   Install and film

   We set up the cameras, configure their settings and start capturing for the approved duration, monitoring performance according to the type of coverage.

5. 5

   Process and edit

   We sort the frames, stabilise the image, correct the colour and build the video sequence with audio and brand elements if included in the scope.

6. 6

   Review and deliver

   We review the cut with you, apply the approved feedback, then deliver the final video to the agreed specifications.
