WHERE WE'LL GO
We are ecstatic to share our first ever timelapse short film with you!
During January and February 2015 we returned to the Karoo. This time around we had a purpose! Apart from always looking for a reason to travel, we wanted to create a story. Not just another collection of timelapse landscapes...
We set out on this personal assignment which we've been planning since January 2014. We worked strictly with a story board and had very specific shots to get. Good continuity is so important and it was quite challenging for us to shoot accordingly, making sure our shots flow from one to the next. It's even more difficult because you don't work in a controlled environment. Since nature has its own way, you can't change the lights or reshoot the action. You've only got one chance! You're time is so limited, until the moment is gone forever.
It has been an incredible journey to produce this film. While the shooting is always the most fun part, it's the processing that brings the final product together. The latter is of course much more time consuming than anyone could imagine. Even more so when you need to keep clients happy at the same time ;-) It's been extremely difficult to balance our time between personal projects and the abundance of work we've been blessed with to finalise the editing. Sorry it took so long...
