Willowbrook Shopping Centre × QuadReal Property Group

Mural Timelapse & Highlight Video

A 6-week timelapse and cinematic highlight video documenting the creation of Dayspring — a new mural by local artist Drew Young — in Willowbrook’s Willow Way corridor.

— Project Overview

Willowbrook Shopping Centre, in collaboration with QuadReal Property Group, partnered with Dream It Creations to document the creation of a striking new mural titled Dayspring, painted by local artist Drew Young. The mural, located in the Willow Way corridor, represents Willowbrook’s dedication to integrating arts, culture, and lifestyle within its retail space. Dream It Creations was tasked with producing a 6-week timelapse video showcasing the mural’s transformation from start to finish, along with a highlight video to celebrate its completion.

— Project Goals

  • Capture the creative process of the Dayspring mural through a 6-week timelapse video
  • Highlight Willowbrook’s commitment to blending arts and culture with the retail experience, reinforcing that Willowbrook is more than just a shopping mall
  • Showcase the artist’s work, bringing attention to Drew Young’s contribution to the space

Challenges

Maintaining a continuous timelapse over six weeks was a significant technical challenge. Keeping the camera operational the whole time meant frequent check-ins to monitor battery life, memory capacity, and camera positioning. Capturing engaging handheld video and photography while balancing the evolving artwork and the mall crowds also required precise coordination.

Results

Over six weeks, Dream It Creations successfully documented the transformation of Willowbrook’s Dayspring mural through both a long-form timelapse and a cinematic highlight video. The result was a compelling visual narrative that celebrated the talent behind the mural and reinforced Willowbrook’s commitment to blending arts and culture within its retail environment.

— The Approach

To document the mural’s evolution, we mounted a continuously running camera in Willow Way, carefully adjusting settings to capture the mural’s progress over time. Alongside the timelapse setup, we incorporated handheld video and photography, capturing artist interactions, detailed brushwork, and the final reveal. The resulting footage was crafted into a dynamic highlight video, blending creative angles and storytelling to showcase the vibrancy of the finished piece.
