It's extremely easy to produce mundane timelapses, which is why amazing work like "Barcelona GO!" produced by filmmaker Rob Whitworth gets me so jazzed. This timelapse/hyperlapse done in "flow-motion" (what Rob calls his fast-moving short films) is simply stunning.
In few other cities is it possible to walk from spectacular location to spectacular location. I had a fantastic time adventuring around Barcelona's winding streets making this film.
Special thanks to Ferran Macià Edo and his colleagues from Agència Catalana de Turisme (Catalan Tourism Board) for helping me get access to shoot at numerous stunning locations including:
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
Gran Teater del Liceu
Sagrada Familia
Museu D'Historia De Barcelona
Palau de la Música
Santa Maria del PiAnd an extra special thanks to Marta Garriga Bardalet for patiently modelling during an uncharacteristically cold and rainy day.

After you receover from the greatness that is that video, make sure to check out more from Rob at his website.
Very interesting and different! Thanks for the article.
This is just mind blowingly amazing.
Right? I wasn't just using colloquialisms when I said it was jaw dropping. My jaw was actually slack when I watched this.
Best thing ive seen in a long time
Very beautiful city from Spain
This is just flat-out unreal!!!
Spectacular! Would love to see a BTS video on this amazing flow-motion!
That was rad! I lol'd :D
This is what I would consider a paradigm shift. No CGI, no massive hollywood budget, no breakthrough technology. A man with an idea using normal equipment. It just goes to show that incredible things can be done with what you have. BRAVO!! Now how the hell did he do it so precicely!?!
Cannot compute how this was made
Yeah, usually, I'm like... "That was awesome and I could probably do it by x,y,z..." I might have "x" for this one but not even close to knowing how to do "y & z".
that's a whole lot of work!!! astounding
That is intense and amazing!!
Thats some amazing planning! Would love to see his AE comps :)
Pretty nifty. I guess Hyperlapse have taken over from time-lapse now.
