There are time-lapse videos — and time-lapse video stories.

Time-lapse videos are all the rage — videos of buildings going up, videos of people working, videos of sporting events, etc.

But these kinds of videos are only telling part of the story.

What if you expanded these videos with additional footage? Time-lapse videos of close-up views of workers on the ground, intercut with normal speed footage?

This would be a time-lapse story!

As you can see, a time-lapse story has much more drama.

The mixture of time-lapse, on-the-ground cutaways, and facial expressions creates a new art form — a video story.

We’ve created such videos for Walgreens, Radio Shack, and others. (Over the years, we’ve created over 1000 corporate videos).

Experiment with this kind of video, whether you’re a corporate marketing exec or a video producer.

These videos are fun to produce, great for company marketing, and are a lasting record in the company archives or your video reel.
