Salute Setup Time-lapse
We got down to Salute yesterday and wanted to show off a bit of the hustle and bustle from the folks setting up. The hall is MASSIVE and the vendors are putting together some great looking booths and tables.
How many of you will be coming to Salute for the first time?






























Just leaving home now, looking forward to a great day.
I´ve like to come… but sitting here in germany, no flight I can afford… damn
Yep first time for me
I never went to Salute. Every year at Crysis Antwerp I promise the guys from South London Wargames I would show up and every year I fail. Crysis is my local one day event and I am going to UKGE this year, so no time and money left for Salute.
Crisis is still on my bucket list to combine with a holiday in Bruges. Wouldn’t mind going to some of the Italian shows as well just to see what there like
How many hours does the time lapse cover?
These videos are always a fun part of the salute coverage
Hell of a job
The amount of work is truly impressive, have you used the go pro for this?
I’ve done setup/teardown for non-gaming conventions. When setting up, you want everything in the right place, the displays to catch the lights, good walking path. At teardown, you want everything to fit into the truck with expedience. Usually a mess to clean up later.
I love these time lapse videos!
Its always amazing to see how organised these fellas are and just how quick they can set up
That’s massive
Masssively jealous of you guys on this one, very excited to see some of the content!!
Wow, really cool vid!
Not sure why but I love time-lapse videos. To a possibly unhealthy degree.
It is always fun to see the set-up in fast speed.
So much work to set up done that a few times. Would be good to see a highspeed all day TBH
I’m in the U.S. so I probably won’t ever get to Salute, but I hope to go to Adepticon sometime in the near future.
Busy, busy bees!
That was cool.
Class would be cool to see the whole thing in time lapse from set up to tare down
Is Salute bigger than Adepticon?
would love to go, but its long flight from Australia. maybe one day.
Brilliant, Does make me sadder that I’m not there today though :'(
never been …..maybe next year
Watching that makes we wonder when they are releasing Sim Salute / Salute Simulator 2017.
Awesome.
I don’t envy these guys that looks like a lot of work
Cool.video
always nice this video 🙂
Time Lapses are KEWL !!!!
Time-lapse is always cool. It’s always neat to watch how everything goes together.
that is so cool to see, how long is it in real time?
have fun – Wish I could have been there!
Always love these time-lapse videos. Is this the 2nd or 3rd I’ve seen? One day I might see it in person!
expertly done, fine choice of music. something emotional about these time lapses when done well.
Would love to go one of these years.
now if I can just get an army of guys in to sort my garden out for a time lapse video.. but that’s an entirely different problem and not gaming related in the slightest..
Massive undertaking
If I ever go, that would need to be part of a bigger trip to the UK. Canada is quite far for a one day trip.
Great vid, thanks for sharing it.
Goes to show how much work is behind a show like this.
Nice to watch other people work.
Wish i was there. But we had tabletop fleamarket 😉
Always amazing that no one gets hit with all of that activity
They must all be on some real strong coffee to move that fast!
Think able all the preparation required before these companies even arrive!!
It feels like it has only been a couple months since I have seen the last one, even though it’s been a year… wow time flies.
I will only get to see Salute through you guys being from the US. It seems amazing to me that they do all that work for 1 day.
All for 1 day? Madness!
With a few more energy drinks that could be in real time
That makes it look alot easier than I’m sure it was.
Really great day, although I do wish I had saved up more money since there were so many really nice things to get and had to limit myself.
Very cool seeing this
Almost makes me want to move to England so I can attend events like this. Almost
I still dont understand why they only do one day of this. In the States they are at least 3 days.
Wish I could have made it but it is so very far away!
Love time lapses, all that hobby goodness growing before my eyes.
That’s crazy
amazing how much effort it takes to set up an event, and not even the biggest event, like a gencon or adepticon.
Never been…Want too….Better prioritize this than going to boardgame event in Essen!
Shame I missed this year,maybe next year
nice, hope someday can visit some boths
Got to love a good time lapse. We were setting up middle back, hidden by one truck or another for the whole video! Oh well. :p
Very nice video, it’s always fun to see a time lapse :^D
Quite impressive seeing it slowly grow over the course of the video
Always amazes me how quickly people get their booths set up at a trade show
Tempted to watch again, muted, with Yakkety Sax playing in another tab 🙂
I will be damned if I was in control of logistics
Hopefully can make it over one day
Here in the U.S. we get to see all these great cons you guys have over there. Wish we were closer to them. Just curious how our cons actually compare.
That is always so interesting to see it grow from nothing to the full setup. Cool.
Love the time-lapse.
Nice time lapse. I like seeing these.
I always wanted to help set up some of these events
So much work goes into setting up a convention of this size. Watching last year’s GenCon vendor coverage displays an insane amount of setup effort.
w00t!
So much work for one day. Go on Warlords make it two days!
That was fun to watch. Hope to be at one some day in the future
Nice time-lapse, very jealous
Pretty stuff!
It was fun!
Can’t wait to be there next year too! 🙂
This was excellent!
It must be nuts the morning of Salute
Loving the behind the scenes video
This stuff is epic
This video rox 🙂
Wow, Salute!
Im gonna go next year!
This is great! 🙂
