Time lapse video
I use time-lapses to show off how subjects interact with their environment. As most of my subjects are spaces, fixed in their position, showing how lighting and weather works with the subject makes it stand out from other videos. Time lapses tell a story, and that is why I try and include them when they meet a client's needs.
