Time-Lapses: 3 Reasons Why Montana Builders Should Use A Construction Camera On Their Next Project.
Time-lapse photography showcased in a short 20-30 second video shows growth, professionalism, completion, and success. People online love to watch time-laspes as it is satisfying to see a building, roadway, or bridge being assembled in a short sped up video.
Time-Lapse Construction Camera Companies
There are many different time-lapse construction camera companies online with each offering various selling points. All of the outdoor time-lapse cameras offer a weather proof housing with some offering solar panel charging options and others need to be plugged in to a power source. The cameras range in megapixel quality, as well as, how often they take a picture. Most of the top time-lapse camera companies offer an online hosting platform to view and save the most recent photos taken, as well as, view livestreams of the job site 24/7. Some of the companies can alert you if something is not working in the camera and others will even create a final time-lapse video for you to use at the end of the building project.
Many of the above features make for a rather pricey time-lapse video that range anywhere from $6,500 - $17,500 for the physical camera cost and 12 month online hosting cost. And then you have to set everything up yourself. With so many offerings it can be tough to narrow in on one camera that serves all your needs. That’s where Big Cedar Media’s construction time-lapse camera services comes in.
Big Cedar Media’s Time-lapse Services
Seth Dahl of Big Cedar Media has researched many of the leading time-lapse camera companies and narrowed in on a couple brands that offer the best online services, picture quality, and solar panel power capability. Seth can mount the camera on location assuring the camera is not going to be set in a bad location or improper height or angle. Seth can set the camera up to take photos every 10 minutes (or longer or shorter) depending on the estimated build time for the project and what is being built. Throughout the duration of the project Seth will insure that everything is working properly and will work with the camera company to resolve any issues that arise. At the end of the building project Seth will process the high quality photos, assemble the photos into a 20 second - 1 minute time-lapse video, add music & your company logo, and export a high quality final video for your immediate advertising use.
All the builder ends up paying Big Cedar Media for is the time-lapse camera rental and install fee, Seth’s time monitoring the time-lapse, and editing costs. Additionally the builder would pay for the monthly online hosting service. Working with Big Cedar Media for your next Montana building project time-lapse keeps your costs way down compared to buying or renting everything from a camera company. Also Big Cedar Media takes the headache out of having to manage the camera throughout the duration of the construction project.
