Mighty Morphin’ Rotterdam – Amazing Netherlands Hyperlapse

There are some things that you just have to sit back and watch – and this is one of them.  The immediate question I have watching Rotterdam: Shifting Shapes of the Future, a hyperlapse of the Dutch city by award-winning filmmaker Kirill Neiezhmakov is how does he do this?  The answer to this question is most likely I don’t care as he long as he keeps doing these amazing videos.

As you will see from the video, the AI morphing transitions really make this stand out from other time-lapses or hyperlapses.  Neiezhmakov describes Rotterdam as “the perfect playground for this” and the transitions are seamless and quite astonishing.  Plus he confides that the secret to a great hyperlapse is “pure manual precision”, so perhaps we have finally found something that combines AI and human creativity to hugely impressive effect.  Take a look at the video below and see if you agree.
