To make things more interesting, I tried to convert a single image from a stock footage platform into a time lapse video and sell it as stock footage again. I finally had time to give it a go, and so “The Pentagon Project” was born. Then the pandemic hit and swept the commercial jobs under the rug. Is it possible to create an artificial time lapse video from a single photo?īack at the office, commercial jobs swept the experiment under the rug. Naturally, I was annoyed, but it got me thinking. We left in a hurry (and I spent the rest of the night blow-drying my clothes).

After we had rigged and framed the shot, heavy monsoon rain started to pour down.

Located at the top of one of Hong Kong’s many surrounding mountains, this spot gives you the perfect view of the urban jungle.

We had a short layover in Hong Kong and decided to shoot a sunset time lapse at Victoria Peak, which is known as THE place to take photos of the city. The idea of an artificial time lapse started to grow on me when I returned from China in the summer of 2019.
