We are big fans of libraries. They offer so much to so many different people and the opportunity to document the creation of a globally recognized building was a dream come true for us. It started with the long-term time-lapse provided by our company OwlBox Construction Time-Lapse, then filming in-depth interviews with the builders, managers, creators, and users. If you haven’t visited the New Central Library in Calgary yet, you must.

We’re not sure what the capacity of the new Central Library is, but it was definitely at its limit that day and it was a beautiful thing to witness. The opportunity we had to drone inside the building before the official opening was incredibly neat and on opening day the footage was shown to everyone there. While we couldn’t go full-tilt with filming, we managed to capture the essence of opening day.
