Case Study: GoPro creates reliable long-term time-lapse footage with CamDo Solutions Intervalometer

GoPro uses CamDo Solutions to time-lapse 10–15 minute fruit decay sequences in The Seed Vault

GoPro, the action camera company, sought to create a powerful visual metaphor of extinction for their documentary "The Seed Vault." Their challenge was executing reliable, long-term time-lapse sequences of fruit decaying over weeks, as standard equipment led to frequent camera malfunctions, overheating, and power issues that ruined weeks of footage. For this project, GoPro turned to CamDo Solutions and their Time Lapse Intervalometer.

The solution from CamDo Solutions provided a controllable and reliable intervalometer that solved GoPro's key technical problems. It allowed for customizable intervals and powered the camera off between shots, eliminating power issues and enabling perfect multi-week captures. This resulted in the successful "nightmare sequence" of decaying fruit, a central visual element that powerfully illustrated the film's message about crop diversity for the Crop Trust initiative, enhancing the film's impact and storytelling.
