Many of you might remember our first trip down to the Sabi Sands game reserve not long ago to shoot some timelapse for a very special event. That was also our first visit to Londolozi Game Reserve and surely one to remember! With 2016 being the 90th birthday of Londolozi, they had some more assignments in the pipeline.

It's no secret how much we love the great outdoors and shooting timelapse under the African night sky. It's obvious that these assignments are what we dream about and now it's with great excitement that we share with you our first ever timelapse clips on air in a natural history documentary!

This is something I've been wanting to do for a very long time now - shooting timelapse on a jib! Yes, on a motorised jib.

Wait! What?? An assignment to shoot timelapse in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve... Is this for real?
We were super stoked to be commissioned by Londolozi to shoot some timelapse for a very special occasion that took place at this luxurious 5 star lodge. Not because we will experience 5 star treatment, but because we get to shoot in the African bush!
To date, this has been one of the best assignments E.V.E.R !

Oh yes, oh yes!
My LOVE for Pelican Cases is growing more and more which you can clearly see as the years go by.

Oh wow! Where on earth to begin with the memories from our most recent timelapse venture...
The Karoo in South Africa is such an incredible location! But it's harsh, it's hot and it's dry! At the same time it's so forgiving. It's so peaceful. It's majestic and magical. It's a destination like no other and that surely must be a good enough reason why we can't get enough of this place...

It's always great if your client allows you to do your job in the best possible way. This time Racklock did just that! Not only is this the second project that we shot for them but this time around they understood the necessity to use 4 cameras for the duration of the entire project.
Not just that, it's also one of the biggest once-off installations to date hence the importance to capture something truly impressive.

Oh what fun it is to be on Timelapse Weekend Workshop! Yay! We did it again and each year is just getting bigger and better. Although we are suppose to max this weekend at 20 people we were kind of forced to accept more people to join as so many wanted to join in the past but just couldn't. Some people have actually waited 3 years for this opportunity...
Read on to find out why it's just so popular!

It's always exciting to share any completed timelapse projects with you! This time we get to show you what it looks like installing a chemical processing plant... Yes, the factory where all your general household cleaning detergents and more will be mixed and packaged.
Here is a look at the installation of phase one for this new processing plant - Project Waterfall by Unilever.

Rigging up a 10m dolly.... Sure, that's no problem! We've done longer than that before! Technically that was for a timelapse set-up and this time around Black Envelope Films needed us to rig for realtime video moves. Repeat moves that is. Timed with precision. For VFX work this precision in repeat moves are crucial. And this is what we can do! Oh, and did we say the dolly needs to carry a fully kitted RED DRAGON?? Nothing that the Shukuma PRO dolly can't handle ;-)
