Syncreon is an international corporate presence specializing in logistics. Working for companies across the globe, they commissioned me to produce this time lapse narrative depicting their process for converting an empty warehouse into a functioning facility. The space was almost 400,000 square feet in size. I had four cameras locked down for the twelve week shoot, interior video footage was capture by a small drone and the motion control shots were done with a variety of gear: eMotimo TB3, eMotimo Cart, Lil Mule, Syrp Genie and Dynamic Perception.

Director Statement

I was first contacted for this project by the marketing director at the US headquarters. We hit if off very quickly as she shared her company’s vision of what they were looking for. After a site survey I submitted my proposal. A few rounds of negotiating later, the shoot was on. Ironically a few months before their initial inquiry I had been mulling over how I would make the move into industrial time-lapse films to compliment my construction time-lapse portfolio. This was my first entree into this world and both the client and myself were satisfied with the end product. Enjoy.
