Cinematic Construction Timelapse for Contractors and Project Portfolios

What is included in a construction timelapse?
Repeated aerial and/or ground capture across the project timeline, edited into a finished, color-corrected video with licensed music and branding.
Is AI used to create the timelapse?
SkyLens 360 uses AI-assisted transitions in some cases to smooth visual gaps between capture dates. These are clearly distinguished from original documentary footage and never presented as unedited record.
When is a fixed-camera timelapse better than repeat drone flights?
Fixed cameras suit projects needing very frequent, identical-angle captures over a long period. Repeat drone flights suit projects needing broader site coverage at scheduled intervals.
