Any tips for longer form TL's? Like a building being constructed.

The best tip -- run! Hahaha, just kidding. The best tip for these kind of shots is making sure you have an enclosure that's water proof and has continuous power (and a stable/steady) place to film from. A lot of times if the camera is placed on a structure it will absorb and show vibration which is bad.

I'm a big fan of digging holes, putting in a large wooden pylon, and then setting up a Photo Sentinel for shots needing to run longer than 2 weeks.

Thanks so much! Is the frequency at which I should check on it based on when my card would fill?

I usually do weekly or bi-monthly checkups on long-term systems. I also make sure to utilize remote monitoring so I know that camera is good to go and still operating even when I'm not there.
