Create a 30-second ultra-realistic accelerated construction time-lapse, presented as footage capture

Create a 30-second ultra-realistic accelerated construction time-lapse, presented as footage captured by a fixed outdoor security camera. FORMAT: Vertical 9:16. One continuous locked-off wide shot from a high corner overlooking a narrow residential construction site. The camera never moves, zooms, pans, cuts or changes angle. Slight wide-angle lens distortion, ordinary digital surveillance-camera sharpness, mild compression artifacts and natural exposure changes. No cinematic camera movement, no dramatic lighting, no text, no timestamp, no interface and no music. LOCATION: A vacant urban lot between two existing concrete houses. A huge natural weathered granite boulder occupies the center of the site. The new house must be carefully constructed around this boulder without removing, shrinking, moving or changing it. The street, surrounding walls, metal gate and neighboring buildings remain completely consistent throughout the video. ACTION — FAST CONSTRUCTION TIME-LAPSE: 0–4 seconds: Five construction workers in helmets and bright safety vests rapidly clear weeds, loose stones and old debris. They push wheelbarrows, carry sacks and organize building materials. Their movements are extremely fast because of the time-lapse, but physically believable. 4–8 seconds: The soil is leveled and compacted. Workers measure the site and mark a precise foundation grid around the boulder using white lines. Narrow foundation trenches appear progressively as the workers dig and remove soil. 8–13 seconds: Steel reinforcement cages and wooden formwork are assembled inside the trenches. Concrete is poured into the foundations. Several square concrete footings gradually form around the rock. Every construction stage follows a logical engineering sequence. 13–18 seconds: Reinforced concrete columns rise from the footings. Workers install temporary wooden supports and scaffolding. Horizontal structural beams connect the columns, creating the first clear outline of the house. 18–23 seconds: A second level rapidly takes shape. More columns, beams and floor slabs are installed. A concrete staircase appears along one side of the property. The architecture naturally wraps around the giant boulder, leaving it fully visible as the centerpiece of the courtyard. 23–27 seconds: Exterior walls, large window frames, balcony railings and a flat roof are installed. Workers move constantly between scaffolding, ladders and wheelbarrows. Building materials gradually disappear as they are used. 27–30 seconds: The scaffolding and remaining debris are removed. The completed modern concrete-and-glass house surrounds the preserved natural boulder. A small courtyard, warm interior lights and simple green plants appear around it. The workers perform a final cleanup and leave through the front gate. VISUAL REALISM: The entire transformation must feel like several months of genuine construction compressed into 30 seconds. Workers move quickly in short, slightly staccato time-lapse motion. Clouds race across the sky, shadows sweep across the ground, daylight subtly changes and occasional brief overcast moments pass naturally. Maintain perfect spatial continuity. The boulder, neighboring buildings, boundary walls, road and camera position must never change. Construction materials must appear, be carried and gradually used rather than magically transforming. The structure must develop progressively from foundations to columns, beams, floors, walls and finishing. Highly realistic human movement, believable construction methods, accurate scale, real concrete, steel, wood, dirt and dust. Ordinary documentary surveillance footage, not CGI, not miniature, not animation, not a polished architectural advertisement.
