Recently completed a construction timelapse of a metal framed Hyatt

The Framecad system is quite innovative... it's amazing to think that all of these parts passed through a single machine that cut them, punched and folded the parts which were then screwed together into wall panels.

For the first part of the sequence, my enclosure was position on top of a small trailer on the jobsite. Later, I had to move the camera to another vantage point. As a timelapse creator, this is something I haven't done before... and quite vexing as the golden rule is to keep the camera perfectly still over a period of months/years - which is quite difficult. It turned out to provide an interesting transitional point in the film. Moving the camera for other types of projects is very normal and adds a lot to them... just a bit less so in certain types of timelapse construction sequences.
