Capturing Cotgrave’s £10.5m regeneration from demolition to public space

We were commissioned to document a £10.5 million regeneration project in Cotgrave, centred on the construction of a new multi-service hub for GP services, the police, the library and a Rushcliffe Borough Council contact point.
As part of the wider redevelopment, the existing police station, library and health centre were demolished and replaced with a landscaped public space designed to create a more welcoming environment for shoppers and visitors. The project was recorded using a single solar-powered time-lapse camera during key periods of activity.
The online viewer also provided the project manager with a valuable tool for monitoring progress throughout the build, while on-the-ground video footage captured additional detail for the final project record.
All image data was stored at three different secure locations.
For this project, the whole camera system was powered using solar energy.
During editing, the finished film is pieced together from the raw images. We use specialist software to reduce flicker, remove unwanted images and stabilise footage. Working with so much data is laborious, but the results are worth it.

This depends on the project. We typically capture either a ‘burst’ of 25 images at the same time each day or at an interval of every 5-15 minutes. We avoid the interval of every 20-30 mins as this produces poor results.
