Home Renovation Timelapse
Renovations are miserable in the middle and unbelievable at the end. A day-by-day film is the only record that captures both, and it does not require a camera mounted on the wall for six months.
A timelapse without the tripod
A true fixed-camera timelapse means committing a device to one angle for the duration and hoping nobody knocks it. Most renovations get documented far more casually: a phone clip at the end of a working day, from wherever you happened to be standing.
Dayjavu turns that casual record into a structured one. One clip per day, in order, at a consistent length, which is close enough to a timelapse to carry the same effect, built from footage you already took.
Useful long after the work is done
A day-by-day film is a genuinely practical record. It shows what was behind a wall before it was closed up, when a stage actually happened, and how a decision looked before it was made permanent.
It is also the most convincing thing to show anyone who saw the room only at the start and the end.
Whole project or one room
Set the date range to the full build for the complete arc, or to a single fortnight to isolate the kitchen. Build as many versions as you want from the same footage.
Good for
- Whole-house renovations across months.
- Single rooms, extensions, or garden projects.
- A record of what sat behind the plasterboard.
- Before-and-after that shows the middle too.
FAQ
- Do I need a fixed camera position?
- No. Handheld clips from varying angles still read clearly as progress when they are in date order.
- What about days nobody worked?
- They are skipped automatically, so the film follows the actual pace of the build.
- Can I cover more than a year?
- Yes. Any date range your library covers can become a single compilation.
