Frankfurt Hyperlapse

Frankfurt in Germany has been around for at least 1200 years, so it has amassed a certain amount of history in those years. Much of it was destroyed during the Second World War and reconstructed later but today the city hosts a myriad of gleaming new tower blocks in the banking district, too.  Kirill Neiezhmakov has been making timelapse and hyperlapse films for years and I am not sure whether this is the first time he has captured Frankfurt on film, but the results are compelling to say the least.   In this hyperlapse, he experiments with seamless AI morphing transitions to go from one place in the city to another and I must say that they work a treat.

Kirill approached the shoot knowing time and conditions were against him. Heavy rain, dark skies and the loss of his folding bike limited his mobility, reducing a planned three-day shoot to barely a day and a half. Despite this, he captured 20 hyperlapse sequences, selecting 17 for the final film. The dramatic weather became an asset, with dense, rolling clouds contrasting sharply against Frankfurt’s steel-and-glass skyline. Kirill also continued his AI morphing experiments, seamlessly transforming old and new architecture. Each hyperlapse was created manually, moving the tripod frame by frame to achieve a natural, organic flow.

If You Have Never Wanted to Visit Zagreb, You Will After You Watch This

Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, has always stood as a bridge between east and west.

This video by Kirill Neiezhmakov displays this city of a million souls at its best, reflecting the ebb and flow of history.

Many cultures have shaped this city over the course of the centuries and you will see all of this in the video, together with its people.

If You Have Never Wanted to Visit Florence, You Will After You Watch This

Florence is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world and once you have watched this you will understand why (that is, of course, if you are not already of that opinion).  Kirill Neiezhmakov, whose work we regularly feature on Kuriositas, has pulled off another genius timelapse/hyperlapse which takes in all the sites of Florence, a city simply brimming with churches, museums and palaces.
