Hello all. There is new construction in my area and I'd like to take a timelapse of its progress over time. I've never done this before and am not sure of the best way to do it. The work is predicted to take two years. Here are some questions I have and any other tips are welcome:

1. How often should I go there? (once a week, once a month, etc.)
2. How long should each video be?
3. What settings should I use? (I'm in Arizona and it's usually pretty sunny here)
4. Should I always shoot from the same spot? (the construction area is pretty big and I'd have to fly very high to get it all in frame) Or should I use waypoints? (can you shoot timelapses in waypoint mode?)

That's it for now. Again, any additional tips are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
