EMPIRE OF STONE – BEST OF THE ‘ANCIENT SKIES’ TIMELAPSE from PMW Creative on Vimeo.

Grant Wakefield is a cameraman and part of a team called PMW Creative who provide “cutting edge specialist cinematography  for commercials, corporates, feature films, special venue films, large format presentations and high-definition video” … in their own words.

The clip above is, again in Grant’s own words: “[a]Compilation of the best of the material from the ANCIENT SKIES pre-production shoots. Designed principally as a showcase for the motion control digital timelapse systems, when masked to 2.35:1 aspect ratio the piece seemed to take on a proper ‘film’ feel….” I couldn’t have put it better myself.

It is all too easy when watching short clips like this the amount of work that is involved in planning, getting to, setting up and then having the patience to wait for the right conditions in order to get footage like this. Grant has put the miles in and come up with great results and I hope the project works really well. I hope that he had as much joy in filming at these sites as we did.
