Tell us about yourself and Walter Rovner .
I am a 49 years old photographer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I dedicate myself to photography and for a few years I have focused on surveying work progress.

What is that first project to work with a time lapse camera?
The first time lapse project was for IRSA, a commercial company that created a very modern office building. We work on a 32,173 square meter office building with 11 floors located in the Polo Dot shopping complex in the northern area of Buenos Aires. Among the main tenants is Mercado Libre (the most valuable company in Argentina).

How did you get in touch with time lapse?
The client was hoping to track the work progress and adding more marketing materials, so they asked me about time lapse. Back then, I didn't have much experience with this technique so I looked it up as soon as possible. Not long after, I began to realize Brinno is the brand that gave me the most confidence for construction projects. It is also obvious how this brand continuously improves the products since the beginning.
“In my search, Brinno is synonymous with time lapse”

How do you usually use a time lapse camera?
We purchased two Brinno TLC200 Pro, and I usually set the camera to take photos every 5 or 10 minutes. Plus scheduling the time lapse recording to align with the jobsite worker whenever they begin working on the project.

How’s the result turned out?
The time lapse video itself is amusing to watch, but most importantly, it serves as very authentic proof for clients to be able to regularly provide this update with their investors, especially for buildings and office construction. A real sample of how the work is evolving. Clients fall in love with time lapses immediately.

Can you share an interesting story during your long careers?
In Argentina it is not advisable to install the camera on the street because it would disappear after a few minutes. One time a man fell off and stumbled on the street at some random place and I gave him a hand out of kind gesture. Turns out, he owns some properties near our client's project and we ended up putting a camera at his place for quite a while.

What would you suggest to any user if they are about to begin their time lapse project?
The camera location is essential. If it is improvised, it is very likely that the video will not turn out well. That's why it's best to take the time to study the best place.The Brinno website has some tools that help me keep up to date with improvements in equipment, supports, software...etc.
