Long jobs are a different problem
Recording a few days and recording five years are not the same task done for longer. A camera left in place for five years has to survive sun, rain, dust, power cuts and dropped connections, and somebody has to check every day that frames are still arriving. Several of the projects here ran past two years, which is where rented off-the-shelf kit stops.
The figure is time on site
These are not contract lengths or project lengths. They run from the day the camera was commissioned to the last frame recorded, which is why some are shorter than the project itself — on a few jobs we arrived late or came off before the site closed.
Short jobs still need a system
A job of a few days like FWD offers no second chance: get the setup wrong on day one and that is the job. A five-year job at least leaves room to correct. Short work needs a more careful survey than people expect, not a lighter one.
Why we publish this
Anyone can write "over twenty years' experience." Naming the projects and the days is only possible if the work is there. We would rather clients compared us on the record than on the adjectives.
