What happens after my time lapse video is done?

Just because your time-lapse video is finished doesn’t mean we have to be. Once we’ve delivered your video, we follow up with you to check how it’s going. If there are any social videos you need, we’re here to help. If you want to do a follow-up campaign, we’re your people. Your production people. Who you gonna call?

What is the time lapse video production process?

Begin — We’ll begin with a clarity session, a meeting with key team members and project stakeholders to ensure Creativa has a deep understanding of your video’s brief, content and creative execution. Once we’re aligned on vision and strategy, pre-production can commence. Create — Pre-production involves concept development, scriptwriting, casting, location scouting and the creation of a production schedule. If your video includes motion graphics or animated elements, we will develop style frames-sample scenes to indicate how these elements will look. Based on the script and shoot schedule, we will create a shot list and/or storyboard. The next phase is production – when filming takes place. A director, along with crew as required, will run the shoot over one or more days, ensuring we capture what we need to realise your video. After production we enter post-production – this means editing, titles, sound design, music selection – putting all the pieces together before delivery. Then, we send it off to you. Use — Use your time-lapse video!

How long should a time lapse video be?

We like to keep it simple and to the point — after all, we need to keep your content engaging so people watch it all the way through. Then, we need to consider the distribution, as plenty of platforms have built-in time limits.

How many revisions of the time lapse video do I get?

We’ve created a tried and true bespoke pipeline for time lapse video production where you get input at several points in the process, so two is usually all you need.

How much information do I need to provide for my time lapse video?

We’ll work with whatever you’ve got. Come to us with just an idea, or an in-depth brief — we’re experts at working with both or anything in between!

What are the turnaround times?

If you email us on a Monday to get an estimate, we could get your project kicked off within the week. Depending on when we decide to shoot, you could have the time-lapse video in your inbox within about 8 weeks, with allowances for feedback built into that timeline. Need it in a rush? Get in touch.

How much does a time lapse video cost?

Without knowing any factors like length, whether it’s a product video or a brand video, it could be anywhere from $1,000 to upwards of $100,000. But that’s not a helpful answer for you — instead, give us a quick call on (03) 9999 1333. We want to make sure you get an answer as bespoke as your content.

Should I use animation in my time lapse?

It depends on your company, and your goals. Time-lapse videos, with real people, can often connect better emotionally with your audience. If you have a more abstract concept or need fewer constraints, animation could be the way to go — and we can do both, so there’s no pressure to decide right now.

We have engaged Creativa for helping to bring some of our creative campaigns to life through their animation studio. At every stage of the process Creativa have been exceptional to deal with. As part of a rapidly growing company within the Telco sector, it was important to hit the ground running and nail our creative execution. From scoping and quoting our projects, bringing in fresh perspectives and ideas for our consideration. Right through to taking our storyboards in bringing our vision to life. Every touchpoint has been first-class. Finished projects thus far include, three animated (2D & 3D) videos using our mascot to use across our multi-channel marketing strategy. In addition to this, we also had a 'last-minute' sponsorship opportunity to create in stadium signage for an international football team playing pre-season friendlies against top level Australian teams. The Creativa team worked to a very tight deadline to create exactly what we needed. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Creativa to deliver high quality content to help drive our video content. Special shout-out to those within the team I've worked closely with (Sev, Rusty and Will). Cheers guys.

I engaged Creativa to produce a video for a client event with approximately 2,500 attendees. The brief was for the video to have nothing to do with the client's products or services, and be memorable for event attendees, wondering what the client will produce next year. Creativa nailed the brief and the client has had amazing feedback from the video. Will definitely be using Creativa again!

In a world where storytelling, authenticity and communicating your brand is so important in getting your message out there, there can be no better way than doing this through video. It's a creative process and requires an amazing amount of talent. The team at Creativa are bursting at the seams with so much creativity and I highly recommend them not only for your next company project but if you are ready to tell the world about your own personal brand then speak to them now. They are at the cutting edge of video production, animation, personal branding and so much more. I'm amazed every time I visit their office and witness their work at hand that I'm privileged to also be witnessing the future. So, if you want to be leading your team with the right message or telling the world about your particular company and personal brand then for me, I could not recommend more highly the group of creative individuals at CREATIVA. The world is ready to hear my message but your message too and I can't wait to collaborate with Creativa on my next project because the ride so far has been out of this world. PS: You will know what I mean when you call them. Dominic Bagnato Architects

TIME-LAPSE FILM PRODUCTION

Time-lapse is a technique in filmmaking commonly used to convey the passage of time. It involves capturing a series of images at consistent intervals over an extended period, and then playing them back at a much faster speed. This creates a visual that showcases the condensed timeline of events, allowing the viewer to experience the world in a whole new context.

Time-lapse can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to show the movement of the sun or stars over a landscape, the growth of a plant, or the construction of a building over time.

It’s often used to add visual interest and show the passing of time in a creative way for documentaries, advertisements, and music videos. By viewing the world at such speeds, we can gain a new understanding and appreciation of how the passage of time leads to change.

The production process for time-lapse typically involves capturing a sequence of images using a camera that’s set up in a fixed position. The camera takes photos at predetermined intervals, such as every few seconds, minutes, over a period of hours, days, or even weeks. Then the resulting footage is edited and assembled into a final time-lapse film.

Time -lapse can be used for all sorts of applications: from creating beautiful visuals, such as watching the weather change throughout the day, to educating and offering context to the scale of large projects such as construction.

Here at Creativa we offer time-lapses as a way to boost production value and engagement with your audience. Working with specialised equipment, such as intervalometers and motion control systems, we can guarantee a product of the highest quality for your videos.

We curate killer content

We want your time lapse video to succeed. To do that, we know we need to make a meaningful connection with your audience. That’s why, when we have our kick-off meeting, finding that spark is our top priority.
