Rino Recycling Facility Construction – Long-Term Video & Timelapse Project
Project Overview
Verlane Media was originally invited onsite by Rino Recycling to conduct a standard photography session during the early stages of a major new facility build in Pinkenba, Queensland.
That initial engagement evolved into a long-term visual documentation project spanning multiple years, with weekly videography and hundreds of timelapse captures helping tell the story of one of Queensland’s most significant recycling infrastructure developments.
The highlight of this work is a purpose-built cinematic summary video — a compelling visual narrative of the entire build — supported by an extensive catalogue of still and moving imagery used across Rino’s marketing, tender submissions and government engagements.
The Narrative: From Photography to Ongoing Documentation
What began as a one-off site shoot soon became a continuous engagement:
- Installation and maintenance of 5 permanent timelapse cameras onsite
- Daily progress captured in all weather conditions
- Weekly site visits for updated video and fresh content delivery
This long-term commitment provided Rino Recycling with a complete visual timeline of their facility — from ground-breaking through to near completion.
Key Challenges
Ongoing Shooting in Harsh Conditions
Construction sites are not controlled environments. Dust, heavy machinery, changing light and unpredictable weather required constant workflow adaptation to maintain quality output.
Long-term documentation required:
- Rigorous weatherproofing of permanent cameras
- Weekly maintenance under strict site safety protocols
- Scheduling around construction activity
- Maintaining visual continuity across months and years
Whether dust filled the air or rainwater covered the site, the cameras kept recording — producing dependable content for Rino’s evolving needs.
Deliverables
Verlane Media supplied Rino Recycling with:
- A cinematic summary video of the entire build
- Ongoing weekly video documentation
- High-quality timelapse sequences from five permanent cameras
- Still photography captured across the construction lifecycle
- Assets prepared for marketing, social media and government submissions
The extensive visual material enabled Rino to communicate progress far more effectively than written reports or isolated still images alone.
Why This Project Was Unique
Timelapse and long-term video documentation created a powerful visual asset library that extended beyond the build itself.
- Marketing content showing transformation over time
- Clear progress evidence for stakeholders
- Visual proof points in tender submissions
- Dynamic promotional material for public and corporate audiences
The condensed summary video provided decision-makers with immediate confidence in Rino’s operational capability and professionalism.
The Impact
From a short onsite photo session to a multi-year visual strategy, this project demonstrates how consistent documentation can transform a client’s market presence.
With a rich archive of imagery and a dynamic summary video spanning years of work, Rino Recycling leveraged visual assets not merely as records of progress — but as strategic communications tools.
