Timelapse & Hyperlapse
Creative time manipulation capturing Ireland's beauty across hours, days, and seasons.
Timelapse and hyperlapse capture condense extended periods into dynamic visual sequences, revealing patterns of change in weather, construction, crowds, and landscapes. From Atlantic storm systems rolling over the Cliffs of Moher to sunrise over the Wicklow Mountains and mist drifting through Connemara, these techniques add temporal dimension to documentaries, commercials, and brand films shot across Ireland.
We coordinate timelapse and hyperlapse production with motion control systems, weatherproof housings, and experienced operators familiar with Irish weather. Our team manages equipment deployment, power supply, security, and retrieval across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Kerry, and the Wild Atlantic Way, handling frequent rain, wind, and rapidly changing conditions, along with the OPW permits required for filming at Skellig Michael and other protected heritage sites.

Timelapse Expertise
What's the difference between timelapse and hyperlapse?
Traditional timelapse captures time from a fixed position, compressing hours into seconds. Hyperlapse adds camera movement through space, creating dynamic sequences where the camera travels along Dublin's Grafton Street or across Trinity College's cobblestones while also compressing time.
What equipment do you use?
We use professional cinema cameras and DSLRs optimized for timelapse, motorized motion control systems for smooth movement, and specialized software for exposure ramping, deflicker, and post-processing. Equipment is matched to your resolution and project requirements.
Can you do day-to-night transitions?
Yes, we specialize in 'holy grail' timelapse—smooth transitions from day to night with seamless exposure ramping. Dublin's illuminated Ha'penny Bridge, Cliffs of Moher at sunset, and the Rock of Cashel are popular subjects where this technique shines.
How long can a timelapse project run?
We handle projects from single-day shoots to multi-year installations. For long-term projects like construction documentation in Dublin, we provide weatherproof housings built for Atlantic weather, remote monitoring, and regular maintenance visits. Skellig Michael has strict seasonal access; OPW permits are arranged for Newgrange and other heritage sites.
What resolution do you capture?
We typically capture at resolutions higher than final delivery—often 6K or 8K for 4K delivery. This provides flexibility for reframing, stabilization, and future-proofing. We'll recommend appropriate resolution based on your deliverables.
Do you handle post-production?
Yes, timelapse post-production requires specialized techniques including deflicker processing, exposure smoothing, color grading, and stabilization. We deliver polished, ready-to-use sequences in your required format.
