Upper Cut Productions was commissioned by BAM Nuttall and Network Rail to film a rail bridge reconstruction project in Reading, during the Christmas period of 2011.

3 weather-proofed time lapse cameras were installed in various locations to capture the progress of the new bridge construction - they took nearly 1/4million photographs over a 6 month period.

Following the short video of the bridge move between 24.12.11 and 28.12.11, this video reveals the full project from the bridge construction to the site clearance after New Year.

    Thank you for the comments. The song was actually composed by Upper Cut Productions for the video. We should have another rail bridge reconstruction video here in the next handful of days - much bigger project!

    Hi Robbie,
    The cameras are all quite self sufficient but occasionally we have to visit them for maintenance. They all run off mains power and use onboard computers to control everything.

    Thanks Chris, always wondered how these long term timelapses worked.
