You know I love the guys at Triggertrap so when they told me about this project I just had to share it. Earlier this month, Triggertrap assembled a group of 40 photographers and set out to capture the beauty and diversity of London in a single day through a huge crowdsourced timelapse. The photographers captured stunning clips across the city, from Tower Bridge to the Thames Barrier and even gained access to the BBC Newsroom in full swing, which Triggertrap assembled to create LapseLondon. You can see the full timelapse here : vimeo/triggertrap/lapselondon and you can find the documentary here : vimeo/triggertrap/lapselondondocu The complete press release : LapseLondon - The biggest ever crowdsourced timelapse of London is a day in the life of the city seen through the eyes of 40 photographers This December, Triggertrap - creators of the world’s most powerful timelapse photography tools - brought together 40 photographers from all backgrounds to create an incredible crowdsourced timelapse video of London in just one day. The diversity, atmosphere, pace and buzz of the city make London the perfect canvas for any timelapse, and its unique flavour is captured over 80 clips in the official LapseLondon film, released today. Under the expert guidance of professional timelapse photographer Chad Gordon Higgins and award-winning urban photographer Nicholas Goodden, the gang of eager photographers set out across the city to capture London from their own perspective. Starting from Triggertrap’s headquarters in King’s Cross, the photographers found themselves in all four corners of the capital. By the end of the day the team of photographers had created clips shot from a whole range of London’s landmarks, from Tower Bridge to Camden Market, Oxford Circus to the Thames Barrier, and even gained access to the BBC Newsroom in full swing. The LapseLondon photographers managed to cover a huge variety of London views and experiences, highlighting the amazing and diverse city it is. The 80 clips were assembled from well over 35,000 individual photographs, representing a total of over 40 hours spent timelapsing across the capital - all in a single day. The final video is an ode to London, showing the beauty of one random day in December in London through the eyes of 40 photographers. The assembled photographers had a huge range of experience - from professional timelapse creators to amateur photographers attempting their first ever timelapse. Triggertrap also produced a behind-the-scenes documentary about the event, interviewing a number of the photographers involved to find out what they love about London and how they’re using timelapse photography to capture the pulse of the capital. “The crazy thing about being a photographer is that your art has a huge audience, but when you are creating, you’re on your own, operating in a vacuum. I think bringing together a load of people who shoot timelapse is up there with one of the most awesome things I’ve ever done.” Haje Jan Kamps - CEO, Triggertrap “Bringing together a whole bunch of photographers from different skill levels and seeing how everyone helped each other to create such awesome clips must be one of the most rewarding things I’ve done all year” Helena Vieira - Head of Happiness, Triggertrap The finished timelapse and behind the scenes documentary are available on the Triggertrap website (tri.gg/lapselondon) and their Vimeo channel (vimeo/triggertrap).
