For this kind of shoot, the main challenge is exposure changing between very dark UV scenes and brighter setup moments.

A simple option is to use a digital camcorder or video camera with auto exposure, then speed up the footage in post. That can be easier than shooting still-frame time-lapse when the light changes a lot.

If you do shoot a stills-based time-lapse, shoot RAW for maximum flexibility when adjusting exposure afterward. Also make sure your interval is longer than your exposure time — for example, if you want 1 frame per second, you can’t reliably use a 2-second exposure. In very low light, you may need to raise ISO and/or use a faster lens.

Magic Lantern may also be worth looking into if your camera supports it.

Because this is a UV-lit shoot, consider using a UV-blocking filter. Depending on the camera sensor and internal filtering, UV can be recorded unpredictably and may show up as false color or as a soft, hazy overlay, since many lenses are not corrected for UV focus.
