Time-Lapse Construction Chronicles: Celebrating Milestones and Achievements

Time-Lapse Construction Chronicles: Celebrating Milestones and Achievements

With every passing day, the face of Dubai is becoming unrecognizable. Evolving past its traditional heritage, this Venice of the Gulf is embracing modernization by the second and hinting at a sophisticated future. Within years, its geography is transforming, the only thing making it recognizable is time-lapse photography and videography.

Timelapse photography has been around for a while now, and its purposes are diversifying with time. From its first-ever use in understanding the sprint of the steeds to its ever-increasing use in construction monitoring and construction timelapse photography, both tools and techniques have advanced over time. With its help, construction work has become more manageable. The result is that remote monitoring is now commonplace, and unveiling architectural marvels, an everyday possibility. And we at Timelapse ME are proud to be guiding these construction time-lapse cameras in hovering over these man-made wonders.

On the note of inaugurating architectural masterpieces, Dubai has left no stone unturned. The gasping intricacies and the jaw-dropping frameworks of building structures unveiled almost every other day have bewitched each one of us. The only thing more amazing than these enthralling structures is their process of rise and spread. How an empty space transforms into extraordinary human settlements is enough to keep anyone wondering. Normally, human patience would run out if we, as an audience, were to stare and watch these massive architectures develop. Yet, simultaneously, watching their evolution in timelapse would be enticing. This is what we at Timelapse ME in our practice have brought to you.
Our timelapse camera grants you a bird's eye view of not only its evolution but its final reveal as well. In fact, of special mention are Sharjah—House of Wisdom (2019-2020), Expo Dubai (2016-2021), One Za'abeel, the longest cantilever building (2015-2023), Atlantis—the Royal Dubai, The most ultra-luxury experimental resort in the World 2016-2022, and the one-of-a-kind, Museum of the Future (2017-2021), DGDA—the lands of kings and heroes, and a city made to change, NEOM.

It has been an incredible and honorable journey being the eyes and ears of the project managers, engineers, and earnest audience in recording these masterpieces evolve. The sheer dedication and persistence in recording these structures rise brick by brick has been an equally memorable adventure. A gap of years compressed in a matter of minutes achieved with our powerful cameras and efficient professionals is a feather to our cap that we straighten out every day! Their design, orientation, span, and uniqueness have been anything but ordinary. And getting it all on camera has once again stressed the beauty of the job that we do!

Whether it was filming the engineers and workers powerlifting the 8500 tonnes of steel, 100 m above ground, to construct the longest cantilever building of an astounding royal ambient residence. Or recording the brilliant intellect and precision in constructing Museum Of the Future's torus with an elliptical void. The extreme dedication and resilience that went into recording and portraying these wonders of Dubai are nothing short of being esteemed. As Dubai was busy constructing futuristic spaces, fancy residences, and palatial resorts, with a time-lapse photography camera in our hand, we played our role in the background in filming what would be later remembered in the books of history.

With our presence already felt in Asia, the Middle East, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), our expansion has been on an upward curve. Our client base has also widened as we catered to a range of projects. Top of mention are IBM, Emaar, Expo Dubai UAE, Kerzner, and 60+ other Middle East-based popular clients. Even the audience of earnest viewers keeps showering us with their love for magical and transcendental time-lapse visualization. The appreciation and awards we received over the years has been overwhelming, too. A few among them have been the GulfCapital SME Award, Dubai 100 SME Award, and the Rate SME Award. We even presented the Expo 2020's progress to His Highness Sheikh Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, during the gala 6-months-long event in Dubai.

As Dubai and the rest of the world touch new heights of architectural marvels, we are glad our lenses capture their ascent. For those who didn't get to witness these fascinating constructions and for those who wish to add these magnificent places to their journal someday, we offer a peek into what could be. What could be a visit to remember...what could be a dream come true!
