In 2013, a boat travÂeled from RotÂterÂdam to AmsÂterÂdam, with a timeÂlapse camÂera installed 30 meters high. The resultÂing film “gives a unique and stunÂning view of the old Dutch waterÂways, in 4K.” And lots of bridges along the way.
All images were shot with a Canon 550d at an interÂval of 3 secÂonds. 30,000 picÂtures were takÂen in total. IniÂtialÂly, “the film couldÂn’t be pubÂlished due to restricÂtions. After a few years it was forÂgotÂten.” But now it has been resÂurÂrectÂed, and it’s online.
