#SG75Timelapse by SKYSHOT
Skyshot was started in 2013 with a vision to be Asia's leading time-lapse and aerial filming company. Our first DIY time-lapse camera system was created the same year when we embarked on a 3-year timelapse project for Mapletree Business City. Subsequently, we wanted to create a time-lapse camera system that would be used worldwide. Tbox Timelapse Camera was created in 2015. To date, we have deployed more than 250 time-lapse cameras and created a worldwide community of Tbox users.
OUR TEAM

Artificial Intelligence
High-Resolution images contain many data points that can be accessible in the context of Visual AI, Spacial AI, and Historical AI. Combined with social interactions, traffic, footfall & AI meta-tagging. The data collected can be more meaningful and accessible.
OUR FIRST #SG75TIMELAPSE CAMERA
In 2020, Skyshot mounted a Titan 3 long-term time-lapse camera system atop Marina Bay Sands. The camera documents the evolution of the Singapore City skyline in DSLR-quality images. With a recording interval of 15 minutes, it will operate 24/7 until 2040! That is a whopping 1 million photos when the project is completed.
