Not all of us have the chance to head to Europe, what with the cost of airfare these days.
Luckily, we’ve got the Internet, and amazing videos like this one from filmmaker Andrew Walker at 599 Productions. He filmed the various time-lapse images while exploring Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic last September using a Canon 5D Mark III and several Canon and Ziess lenses.
Check it out, and be sure to strap on a pair of high-end cans or route the audio through your huge Bluetooth speaker to hear the epic soundtrack.

There are some amazing shots here, like the motion-control time-lapse scenes, which Walker filmed using a Dynamic Perception Stage R Pan and Tilt head (which in turn was controlled by a eMotimo controller in a 3-D-printed box). This is killer stuff.
Los Angeles-based Walker has a ton of time-lapse videos on the 599 Productions page, garnering millions of views on both Vimeo and YouTube. It’s no wonder, as the videos he produces are technically solid and artistically inspired.
The equally grand music for the European time-lapse video above is “Day and Night Shall Not Cease,” from the Noah movie soundtrack by Clint Mansell.
