At Burning Image Photography & Productions (BIPP) we specialise in Time Lapse Photographic Productions

Time Lapse Photographic Productions fit mostly into two project formats;
1. The short project, from 1 hour to 4 weeks and
2. the longer or ongoing projects, 1 month to years.
We can quote with very accurate estimation given a few key points of information and once an on-site has been done, we will always confirm / alter a quote to a fixed quote.

STAGE 2: THE ON-SITE Distance and time permitting, we always meet on-site with our clients. There we decide on best vantage points for capture and how many camera units should be deployed for the best results. We consult with our client on key milestone timing and framing i.e. what in include and what to exclude.
STAGE 3: THE CAPTURE With time lapse projects the camera or cameras are maned by a photographer 24/7 for stage 3, the “capture” stage of the project. We have a fully mobile, self contained trailer camp unit dedicated to on-site capture projects, which allows our crew to download, upload, backup, charge units and have a little rest if time permits.
STAGE 4: THE PRODUCTION In production, along with cutting and editing the thousands of images we have captured, we add client branding and logo/s and insert overlay text if required to indicate milestones. We add music composition and can include interviews and/or commentary. Your end video product can be as long or as short as you like. 2 minutes is a good benchmark however 30 seconds or 5 minutes may serve your message better depending on your target market. Our clients receive previews at various stages of production and before the final video edit and our clients are always are provided the opportunity to approve or request alterations before final edit.
STAGE 5: DELIVERY You will receive on hard drive and/or DVD, the “final cut” MASTER COPY of the time lapse video in High, Standard and Web formats (you will also receive 3 duplicates).
