Video – Custer Bridge time-lapse

Time-lapse video gets dangerously close to the action.

For the opening 20 seconds or so of this video, we were pretty convinced that the cameraman had set up his equipment in the wrong place. Any action, such as it is, was a huge distance from the camera and barely visible.

But as the overnight bridge demolition in Helena, Montana unfolds, it turns out that the photographer does, in fact, have a great eye for detail and positioning.
