Air New Zealand just launched its latest commercial, which is filled with time-lapse and motion sequences, some of which are combined in the same scenes. You can see the 60 second spot above that kicks off their transition to winter.
The behind-the-scenes video below reveals that it was captured using a variety of camera equipment that is really accessible to everyone. From Canon HDSLRs to the Syrp Genie (read my Syrp Genie Review), you will recognize much of this equipment and probably have some of it in your camera bag.

At least, not like you would compare to a high end commercial video shoot – other than the one EOS Cinema camera that appears to be used to shoot the actual video sequences.
