Brisbane City Council ANZAC Square

ANZAC Square

Blackbox was engaged to capture long-term time-lapse documentation of the fourth and final stage of the Anzac Square restoration project, beginning in May 2018. As a joint initiative between the Queensland Government, Australian Government, and Brisbane City Council, the project delivered significant upgrades to one of Brisbane’s most important public spaces. Our time-lapse systems recorded the transformation as new pathways, staircases, and a lift improved accessibility; new landscaping and memorial screens were installed; heritage lighting was enhanced with LED technology; and key memorial areas were revitalised for exhibitions, events, and interactive visitor experiences. The result was a clear visual record of the restoration process, capturing the craftsmanship, heritage sensitivity, and community value embedded in this iconic upgrade

Shiploader

Malaysia Ship Loader Transportation

Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET) is an industry-owned, privately funded coal terminal in Gladstone and one of Australia’s most significant export infrastructure projects. Blackbox was engaged to provide end-to-end visual documentation, including time-lapse, video production, and professional photography throughout the build. A standout milestone was the transportation of the massive shiploader, manufactured in Malaysia specifically for the project. To capture this pivotal moment, our team travelled from Brisbane to document every stage of the move, from the intricate loading process in Malaysia, to its journey by sea, and finally its arrival and positioning on-site in Gladstone. The result was a comprehensive visual record that showcased the scale, engineering expertise, and coordination behind one of WICET’s most defining components.

Buildcorp Mast Climbers

High Risk Safety Monitoring

As part of Buildcorp’s dedication to safety and their ‘1, 2, 3 It’s On Me’ initiative, they approached us with a unique challenge. Our goal was to design and implement a custom safety monitoring solution and deploy it on building maintenance units (boats) for one of Sydney’s tallest buildings. The system was developed to actively monitor mast climbers and team members operating in high-risk areas, providing real-time visibility and improving on-site safety. Working closely with Buildcorp, we engineered a tailored solution that seamlessly integrated into their safety framework, helping their team to reduce risk, respond faster and reduce operational overheads.

44 Martin Place construction Time lapse

44 Martin Place

Blackbox documented the full transformation of this multi-storey commercial tower as it underwent major structural and architectural upgrades. Our time-lapse and video production teams captured each stage of the renovation, from the construction of a new ground-floor lobby to the full-height atrium penetration that opened the building from ground floor to level 12. We recorded the installation of prefabricated interconnecting stairs, the addition of two new rooftop levels, and the construction of a glass atrium roof that now fills the building with natural light. Throughout the project, our footage showcased complex logistics, structural strengthening, heritage sandstone restoration, new façades, and the careful coordination required to keep ground-floor retail tenancies operational. The result is a comprehensive visual record of a challenging, highly technical redevelopment delivered in a live environment.

TBM

Airport Link TBM Burial

Blackbox documented one of the most significant moments of the Brisbane Airport Link project, the entombment of the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) beneath the completed tunnels. After the final breakthrough the two massive reception pits, each 14.5 m wide and 16.5 m deep, were excavated by the Thiess John Holland JV using drill-and-blast methods and rock hammers. Our team captured the entire process as the TBMs were lowered into position using a purpose-built steel bridge structure and six 330-tonne strand jacks, before being fully encased in 2,500 m³ of concrete over a continuous 24-hour operation. The result is a detailed visual record of a complex and rarely seen engineering milestone.

Operation Osprey

When renowned designer and presenter Jamie Durie approached us during filming for his new TV series Growing Home, he had an urgent and unusual request. An osprey had built a nest on top of a tower crane on site and was preparing to lay eggs. With only a few days before the first egg was due, Jamie wanted a way to safely monitor and live-stream this rare moment so the community could follow the journey from egg to fledgling.
