A Time Lapse Tale From Sao Paulo’s Skies

For many users, taking a photo a few times a day seems like a piece of cake. But if you have to do it for 100 days non-stop, would you do it with your nearby smartphone devices or recently popular action cams such as GoPro or Instas360? In this case, Fernando, a local photographer based in Brazil, was asked by the clients to conduct such a time-consuming project. Luckily, he found a Brinno camera and was therefore relieved from the constraint of visiting jobsite everyday.

“Life-changing product for long-term recording” 

- Says Fernando during the interview

• Tell us about yourself

I ́m the founder of a company called FB Imagens (Fernando Brisolla Images) and I ́ve been specializing myself on following construction sites and filming them for mostly big construction companies here in my city, São Paulo, Brazil.

• Share more info about your project

The client was building a construction site in a very rich neighborhood and also it will be a landmark here in our city being a mix between residential and a hotel. There’s plenty of high buildings around the neighborhood and so it’s pretty easy for me to find a location and put the camera throughout the entire 2.5 years of construction, starting in 2021. 

Witness how a Brinno camera captures three year construction in minutes long video.

• How time lapse benefit your business

• Why did the client ask for time lapse footage?

• What other equipment do you have?

Besides my hand camera and my drones, I only had one Brinno BCC2000 because after searching a lot and studying about it, I´ve come to the conclusion that Brinno had the best equipment for what I needed. The result was very nice, me and my client were very satisfied and so, I even bought my second Brinno already.

• Brainstorming process with your editor, Enrique Leopardi

Initially, we thought the drone shot was enough, with plenty of ground shots. Before settling everything, Enrique and I suddenly recall the time lapse clip, and so we add it to the final video and the result is very satisfying. The process of construction adds so much enrichment to the video.
