Timestorm Films

Timestorm Films Based in southern Germany, Timestorm Films founded by Martin Heck specializes in high quality motion-control time-lapse cinematography.

I am a young film-maker specialising in time-lapse cinematography. Around 5 years ago I started time-lapse shooting with a basic point-and-shoot camera by speeding up live video in post-production. Pretty quick it became clear that this isn’t the proper way to create extraordinary time-lapse pieces. By purchasing a DSLR I was able to achieve a massive improvement in quality. The next advance came

in the field of camera movement so I started to build my own Motion-Control gear, usable for time-lapse. I constructed several small, motorised camera sliders. I developed this into a system which can be used either as motion controlled time-lapse-slider or as jib with length from 1m to 4m. After completing some commercial time-lapse cinematography contracts in 2013, I decided to invest in professional motion-control equipment including some basic Kessler gear, a Dynamic Perception Stage One and an eMotimo for advanced motion-control time-lapse. My goal with time-lapse-photography is to capture what can’t be seen by the human eye in combination with the most beautiful landscapes and impressive cityscapes.

Our La Palma volcano video is finally finished. Just like the eruption itself, which lasted 86 days, making it the longest and most destructive since records began on the island.

Lightning and fire on La Palma. As of now, the volcano along the Cumbre Vieja range, sometimes also called Volcano Cabeza is active for over 70 days with no signs of calming down. This frame was shot around week 3 from the rim of the Caldera de Taburiente, about 14km from the volcano. Actually its a frame from an 8K video I shot with the Sony A1 at 600mm.

We had an unreal week on the fiery island of La Palma and still can't believe what we saw. Thought thats nothing compared to the locals who have to wittness this for weeks now. Over 2000 houses have been lost and almost 10% of the island population is evacuated. As loud and violent as the volcano is up close, its almost peaceful how it glows under the moonlight as seen from high above the clouds from the Roque de los Muchachos.
