Corporate Event Setup Timelapse

Timelapse photography of the setting up of a high profile corporate event, from unloading the trucks, setting up stage and lighting, through to entry of the guests into the presentation area.
This footage was captured over two days, and shows the incredible amount of work that goes into managing and producing events such as this.

Hi +Craig McCartney . Thanks for your comment.
At the moment I do not upload to stock libraries, however I am happy to make available the footage for promotional purposes (as with any of my photography). Best is to contact me through my website at www.btphotography.com.au

Hey, Great video! How did you work out the formula for fps in playback? Cheers!

Hi Andy
Normally I would base playback on 25fps, then consider how long I want or need the finished video, and over what time period the action is going to take place. From those I can calculate how often I need to capture an image.
In this video however I was not as concerned with the final length however it was important to maintain consistency of apparent speed across all the action. The capture rate (from memory) across all sequences varied very little.

Did you use a go pro? And what editing software did you use? I'm trying to build something similar.

Hi Fahama
This was all shot on Professional Canon SLR equipment, and using Premiere Pro as editing software. The GoPros are not bad for shooting timelapse, however they are limited in quality simply due to the fact they are a compact camera, and do not have the range of lenses available as an SLR does.
Having said that, a GoPro can often be situated in places that it is difficult or expensive to place an SLR.

Where was that? Obviously Australian from the 7 Channel logos everywhere but what was the event?

Hi Brandon
The event was at the Australian Technology Park in Redfern, where all the old train sheds are (which is the structure the event is in).
