A Dazzling Flow Motion Time-Lapse Tour of Istanbul
Back in February, time-lapse photographer Rob Whitworth captured the world’s imagination with his insane “Dubai Flow Motion” project, which took the concept of the hyperlapse to a whole new level.
Now he’s back again with the video above, titled “Istanbul: Flow Through the City of Tales.” Whitworth used his same ambitious hyperlapse techniques to create a dazzling tour of Istanbul, Turkey.
“We created a film that introduces the historical, cultural and social aspects of the city to a global audience. The film that was shot in 4K resolution is simply a spectacular visual feast for the eyes.”
Here’s a behind-the-scenes time-lapse showing how just one of the sequences was shot:
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 recon and shooting, and 278 were spent afterward in post-production — there were about 71,000 RAW files after shooting was complete, so Whitworth had 3.8 terabytes of data to work through.
Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of Whitworth shooting the frames with his DSLRs and rigs:
