Document your house being built, from foundations to moving in
Building a house takes months, sometimes years. Once you move in, you forget what the land looked like, where the columns stood, how the roof went up. With Zawmo's “Over time” you take a shot now and then from the same spot, and Zawmo puts them in date order and makes a video of the whole build.
Stages worth a shot
- The land before diggingThe shot everyone regrets not taking.
- Digging and foundationsThe whole pit, and the steel before the pour.
- Columns and beamsFrom the same angle as the land.
- Pouring the roofEvery floor. A short video on pour day looks great.
- Stone or block wallsA weekly shot shows the walls rising.
- Wiring and plumbingBefore it's covered — you'll need it later.
- Plaster and tilesShoot inside too, not just the front.
- Paint and finishingThe colours and last details.
- Moving-in dayThe last shot of the story — from the spot of the first one.
How to shoot so the change shows
- Pick a fixed spot and shoot from it every time: by a lamp post, a neighbour's gate, a street corner.
- Shoot at about the same time of day, so the light stays similar.
- A shot a week, or one per new stage, is plenty.
- Turn on the “🕐 time stamp” so the date shows on the shot.
- Shoot inside too: the same room, from the same door.
