TimeLAX was established in 2012 and quickly became the largest independent Los Angeles time-lapse video archive ever created. While there are hundreds of stock footage websites offering licensing and exclusive material, footage acquisition and research coordinators must spend a significant amount of time looking for prime scenes filmed in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Here, you can find everything from Downtown L.A. and Hollywood to Silicon Beach and beyond. We have dedicated a great deal of time and resources to capturing the City of Angels and surrounding areas, which include the Palos Verdes Peninsula, East L.A., Whittier, San Pedro, Malibu, Pasadena, Echo Park, Angelino Heights, Westwood, Long Beach, Chinatown, and Koreatown. Watch our videos!
Scenes from our archive have been featured in commercials, documentaries, TV shows, music videos, and travel videos produced by companies and educational organizations worldwide.. We offer royalty-free footage licensing.

Expanding Our Ever‑Growing Los Angeles Time‑Lapse Archive
Since launching our Los Angeles time‑lapse archive in 2012, we’ve steadily expanded our collection by exploring the countless vantage points the City of Angels has to offer. Capturing the full breadth of the metropolitan area is a long‑term endeavor; there are simply too many remarkable locations to cover quickly. To date, we’ve created more than a thousand high‑quality photo sequences that have been crafted into master clips for stock footage. Our time‑lapse photo gallery features additional shots that haven’t yet appeared in our videos, and we plan to showcase some of these never‑before‑seen scenes in upcoming releases.
