Time-lapse & Hyperlapse

Here is how the work lines up. Canadian time-lapse work draws on a uniquely cinematic geography. Yukon's Aurora Borealis corridor delivers reliable northern-lights sequences from late September through April with KP-index forecasting tracked through NOAA SWPC and Aurora Forecast Yukon. Our crews stage out of Whitehorse with cold-weather camera housings and battery-warming jackets rated for -40°C.

Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Peyto Lake, and the Icefields Parkway provide the seasonal-change timelapse vocabulary that has run on Parks Canada tourism campaigns, IMAX documentaries, and feature B-units for years — Parks Canada film permits with silent-zone protocols are filed and tracked in pre-production. Niagara Falls illumination hyperlapses cover the Falls Illumination Board's nightly programmes, Toronto CN Tower and Distillery District deliver urban day-to-night holy-grail sequences, the Old Port of Montreal and Quebec City's UNESCO Old Town hand off into European-flavoured period work, and the Bay of Fundy's 16m tidal swing supplies one of the only locations on the planet where compressed-tide sequences can be shot at human scale.

Capture hardware standardises on ARRI Alexa 35, Sony A1 and FX9, Canon EOS R5C, and Nikon Z9 bodies on eMotimo Spectrum ST4.3 and Syrp Genie II motion-control heads, with Edelkrone SliderPLUS Pro and Konova K7 sliders for hyperlapse runs and dedicated MIOPS Capsule Pro intervalometers for unattended long-length installs. NiSi and Tiffen IR-ND filtration covers the long exposures and aperture-ramped holy-grail transitions. Weatherproof Pelican housings with thermal pads and silica handle the -25°C Quebec, Yukon, and Nunavut winter blocks plus the rain and humidity of the BC coast.

Multi-month construction time-lapses run on Brinno BCC2000 and EmpowerLapse weatherproof rigs with cellular uplinks, solar charging, and remote monitoring; year-long installs use battery-rotation schedules with regular upkeep visits. Post-production covers LRTimelapse deflickering, Resolve grading, and delivery up to 8K at any needed frame rate, with the source footage preserved for downstream stabilisation, crop, and digital-zoom work.
