At the end of your project we process the tens of thousands of photos taken by the time-lapse camera into a time-lapse film sequence. Our editors then go through the footage frame by frame, removing periods of inactivity, bad weather and anything else that is not required. We can then add music, titles, logos, captions, drone filming, still images, or anything else you might want, to make the time-lapse film really stand out and showcase the work you have done.
We have produced hundreds of time-lapse films over the years, for a wide range of clients. You can see some examples below.
Sandstone Brook Care Home
We’ve captured a few care home construction projects over the years, and our latest film is a good example of this. Sandstone Brook Care Home was built by Liberty Care Developments for Anavo. We captured the construction using our time-lapse cameras, showing the build process from start to finish and showcasing the wonderful work of Liberty Care Developments. Then our filming team visited to capture the facilities in detail, showcasing what makes this Anavo care home so special. Congratulations everyone involved! 👏
As well as the combined film with both the construction time-lapse and the film footage of the completed building, we also created a second, standalone film of just the final filming. This beautiful film is wonderful as a marketing tool to show potential residents what it is like inside the care home, and promote the new facility to them and their families.
The stunning Sandstone Brook Care Home is situated at the edge of the historical market town of Wrexham. It’s facilities include 68 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, lovely sun terraces and landscaped gardens, a private dining facility, games room and boutique shop. All captured in glorious 4K detail by our filming team! 🩷

Field Newport
Clarke Energy recently constructed a new 40 MWh battery site in Newport for Field, a renewable energy infrastructure company. Trina Storage provided a fully integrated battery storage system for the site. As you can see, TimelapseWales captured the project with our time-lapse cameras.
Field is dedicated to building the renewable energy infrastructure needed to reach net zero, starting with battery storage.
Field Newport is expected to connect to the grid Q3 2024, and will contribute to the UK’s efforts to decarbonise energy supply, supporting the path to a greener, more flexible, and more reliable GB grid. Find out more about the project here>
Tŷ Draig
We recorded the construction of Tŷ Draig, the new North Wales office for Wales & West Housing. Our time-lapse camera captured the project from start to finish, and we produced the film below. Wales & West Housing manage more than 12,500 high quality, affordable homes in 14 local authority areas across Wales. These include more than 3,000 dedicated properties for older people as well as innovative supported housing solutions for people with a range of particular needs. You can find out more about their work and their properties here >
The Restoration of Ponty Lido
Back in 2014, our time-lapse cameras captured the 18 month restoration of Ponty Lido. Following it’s 24-year closure, the grade two-listed lido was restored to its former glory as part of an exciting £6.3m restoration project by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council. It was made possible with financial support from the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government, Heritage Lottery Fund and Cadw.
The Lido now features external and internal showers, heated changing facilities, restored 1920s turnstiles, wooden cubicles and a state of the art Visitor’s Centre, telling the incredible story of The Ponty Lido.
We captured the restoration project using long term time-lapse. We then used additional short term time-lapse as well as ground and aerial filming with our drone to capture the first public opening. This footage was combined to produce the film opposite, which also includes historical photos of the lido.
In addition, we also created a shorter, standalone film of the first public test day, as a way to promote the new facility to local residents and visitors to the area.
More information about Lido Ponty can be found here.
Coed Y Brenin
Our time-lapse cameras captured the construction of a new bike store and conference room at Coed Y Brenin Visitor Centre. Coed y Brenin was Britain’s first purpose-built mountain biking centre and is still one of the sport’s top destinations. Eight purpose-built mountain bike trails start from the visitor centre and range from easy trails for families and beginners to technical routes for expert riders. The new extension to house a new bike store and conference centre was a fantastic addition to the facilities on the site. It was the first project in the UK to use homegrown timber for solid construction, and was planned to be Ecological by Design. The construction looks fantastic on film!
North Wales Prison Concrete Pour
In September 2013, the Secretary for Justice announced that the Former Firestone Site on Wrexham Industrial Estate would be the location for a North Wales Prison. Work began in 2015, and we used four long term time-lapse cameras on the site to film the development. We are unable to include the final film here, but can share a short film showing the first core concrete pour to House Block 108B.
The impressive pour was carried out over a 12-hour period using 14 wagons delivering concrete from three batching plants in Wrexham, Mold and Chester. Two 42m pumps supplied by Reilly Concrete Pumping, along with a team of 20 personnel, were involved in the placing, testing and curing of 600m3 of structural concrete.
Using four Time Lapse cameras from multiple angles and various lenses, we were able to capture the entire 12-hour process in just 3 minutes!
Connah’s Quay
LGS projects are experts at steel framed buildings and they asked us to capture their latest project with our time-lapse camera. It was a fantastic project to be involved with!
Gwent Police Station
The redevelopment of the former Gwent Police Headquarters site in Cwmbran involved the demolition of the current building and the construction of a new police operational facility. The facility includes a new police station, custody suite, offices and vehicle workshop.
Our time-lapse camera captured the work for Willmott Dixon. Due to the nature of the project we are unable to share the final film, however you can see many other films on this page.
USW Chiropractic clinic – Pontypridd
The University of South Wales have created a new Chiropractic clinic at their Treforest Campus in Pontypridd, South Wales. It is the new home of the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC).
Designed by Stride Treglown, the clinic was constructed by the Kier Group. It replaced the previous facilities at the William Price Business Park, bringing together all learning, teaching and treatments onto the same site for the first time since the Master of Chiropractic (MChiro) degree course started in 1997. Two of our time-lapse cameras captured progress on site!
Shotton Mill, North Wales
When John F Hunt completed the demolition of the original plant at Shotton Mill, they asked us to record it. The demolition allowed their client to replace it with the largest and most technologically advanced paper mill in the UK to manufacture containerboard.
We captured the work using two of our time-lapse cameras, and John F Hunt used the footage in update videos on their website and YouTube channel. We can’t share the final film yet, but will as soon as we can!
