About TimeLapse Digital

Rene Beland’s 27 years as a video editor gives the clients of TimeLapse Digital very reliable quality with excellent final presentation options. He has broad experience in news, dramatic, documentary and full feature productions.

The range of skills needed in his career included still photography, lighting, camera movement, many camera technologies, various editing systems, choosing soundtracks, audio systems, rough and final edits, and more.

Rene feels the most important step in production is beginning: the client, general contractor or producer discussion. There he’s able to envision the final presentation and choose the tools to deliver what’s needed.
