Mere mortals rarely glimpse the 4th Dimension - Time. When we see this dimension distorted from the norm either by speeding up or slowing down, we can experience a new perspective, a new understanding of the space we thought we knew.

Timelapse video does just this. The world as we thought we knew it warps around us and we can take a moment to see the 'flow' of nature and our interactions with it. The timelapse perspective can explain our nature, allow us to analyse it and if nothing else, we can watch in wonder.

Timelapse has Entertainment value, Commercial value and Environmental value. Furthermore, when these overlap it leads to compelling, enduring viewing. Time-lapse photography has an uncanny way of holding a viewers attention longer than a normal  image of the same scene, important if you have a message for your audience.

What's your message? To educate, sell or persuade, amaze and entertain?

360 Timelapse video of the Smiths Lake opening to the sea. This Timelapse has 2d / flat picture-in-picture videos placed around the 360 viewing angle. These are additional pieces of footage taken by drone during the event. To see the timelapse and the 2d PiP inserts may take two views. The original filming time was about 5hrs at 2fps. When playd back at 25fps this became 5.5mins. I have sped this up more to bring it down to about 1.5mins. The lake needs mechanical release due to raising water from rain catchment encroaching on business, property roads and parkland. It also helps freshen the lake water and sediment. Enjoy and share, Thank you
