Prepare for retinal blast-off (and be careful if you’re sensitive to flashing lights). What happens when everything in the world has been photographed? From multiple angles, multiple times per day? Eventually we’ll piece those photos and videos together to be able to see the entire history of a location from every possible angle. “I sifted […]

Almost looks deceivingly pleasant & prosperous in these lovely aerials: Pyongyang is by far the weirdest and strangest place I have ever been to. At the same time it’s also one of the the most interesting and intriguing places and unlike anywere else I have ever been to. You go there with 100 questions and […]

Terrific work from Tarsicio Sañudo, who according to PetaPixel “shot thousands of RAW photos with his DJI Mavic 2 Pro over the course of two months.” He mentions using After Effects for post-capture stabilization. [YouTube] [Via]

I know, I know: as technically impressive as they may be, all these hyperlapse videos can get a little played out. But this piece from FilmSpektakel offers some fun details: In particular: Over the 10 days we took photos of yellow cabs whenever we had time to from as many different angles as possible. So […]

Wow: Graphic design student Matteo Archondis labored to create this 2-minute tour of the planet using only images he snagged from Earth: PetaPixel writes, In all, the hyperlapse contains some 3,300 screenshots captured over the course of 2 days, and edited together in a grueling post-processing workflow that took another week after that… “Thanks to the developer […]

A couple bounced (literally) across 12 countries, creating this rather amazing compilation in the process: 
 PetaPixel writes, There wasn’t a third person to help shoot photos, so everything was done with a tripod and a string (to keep the distances the same throughout the shots). Here’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how the duo managed […]

Rob Whitworth & team take us on a thrilling high- (and low-) speed zoom through the ancient & iconic city: 
 PetaPixel notes, Whitworth spent about 6 weeks shooting the project with his team, with a couple of those weeks spent waiting for the weather to improve. About 295 hours were spent on location for […]

Patrick Cheung shot more than 6,000 images over the course of a year in Hong Kong to make this hyperlapse hip hop vid for Ghost Style. The Bullet Time levitation effect around 1:16 is well worth a look: So, how exactly do these things get made? The crew from DigitalRev worked with Patrick to show the […]

Speaking of hyperlapses, the guys behind the recent Barcelona piece have provided a peek into the North Korean capital: My friend Sam Potts has traveled to Pyongyang & provides a sobering assessment: It feels deeply fake as filmmaking, to me. Thus I mistrust it as a document of what real Pyongyang is like. You don’t […]

Sunset plane ride + photographer + DSLR = striking imagery. Matthew Vandeputte describes his approach: A hyperlapse is a special photography technique where you take a series of photos with similar framing while physically moving in between every shot. After stabilizing the footage with special software, you (quite literally in this case) create a flight through […]

Back in 2013 I was really taken with how Microsoft’s PhotoSynth technology could generate interactive hyperlapses for reliving walks, bike rides, etc., and I was sad when the tech died pretty soon after. Wearable cameras just weren’t ubiquitous, affordable, and high quality at the time. Are those times a-changin’? Maybe: The incredibly tiny, albeit not […]

“If you want to be a better photographer, [fly] in front of more interesting things…” This eclipse hyperlapse is rad: “I wasn’t sure if it was going to work but I didn’t want to use it manually because I wanted to watch what was my first-ever eclipse,” [photographer Matt] Robinson tells PetaPixel. “Around 10 minutes […]

Being able to preset one’s flight path on a map seems like a great way to set up shots that transition from day to night—especially cool when done with hyperlapses. Now to find a sufficiently interesting area in which to try it. See below for a demo/tutorial. Oh, and there’s a really significant (for me, […]

Rob Whitworth has returned with another eye-popping hyperlapse of Turkey: Experience the towering fairy chimney formations, immense subterranean cities, stone-carved mansions, and inimitable cultural energy that make Cappadocia one of the world’s most unforgettable travel destinations. Shot in the filmmaker’s signature flow motion style, the video takes viewers on a time-distorting, gravity-defying tour of Cappadocia’s unique […]

This little beast looks pretty interesting, though pricing is TBD: I find the 360º video captures (example) moderately interesting, but I experience FOMO (fear of missing out, i.e. worrying that I’m looking in the wrong direction) and slight motion sickness. I’m much more interested capturing sequential spherical photos a la Street View, letting me navigate […]

“I’ve been on an icebreaker for almost two months now,” writes marine scientist Cassandra Brooks, “traveling through the Ross Sea, Antarctica… To share the incredible experience of an almost infinite variety of scenes, I’ve compiled a time-lapse montage shot over the last two months, condensed into less than five minutes, with a surprise at the […]
