Chasing Time is the sister project to Chasing Ice and Chasing Coral, meaning it's visual identity has to stay in the same vein, all while giving it a fresh twist. These title explorations kept the look simple but elegant and introduced the time-lapses right away.
When presented with over a decade of photography and timelapse assets, how do you sort through millions of images? You automate it! In this documentary by Jeff Orlowski-Yang and Sarah Keo, we were tasked with compiling these images of ecological monuments, using clever coding and compositing.

Nuke Reprojection
There are some clever solves we implemented to add a digital push to Exposure Labs' hyper-lapses. By reprojecting footage onto primitive geometry, we can achieve digital movement without sacrificing parallax.
