Each day, Mashable highlights one noteworthy YouTube video. Check out all our viral video picks.
This stunning time-lapse video puts you in the passenger seat of one man’s almost year-long adventure across 17 countries. In it, you’ll see 6,237 pictures spliced together to create several beautiful, fast-paced montages that surely will make you want to pack your suitcase and take a trip this year.
Equipped with a Panasonic Lumix GF-1 camera, San Francisco-based Kien Lam quit his job, bought a plane ticket to London and then spent 343 days traversing the globe and snapping photos along the way.
Wanting to inspire others to travel, Lam returned home and whipped up the 290-second video, which was edited in Adobe Lightroom, Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro.
“To capture the spirit of the trip, I took time-lapse photographs at practically every city I traveled to,” he told to Mashable in an email. “Each two-second scene is comprised of about 40 to 60 photographs.”
Music from his brother William Lam complements the visuals in the clip. The song, “Places and Faces,” will be available to buy on iTunes and Amazon on Jan. 15. To learn more about Kien Lam’s trip or get notified when the Logic Pro-produced song is out, visit his travel blog.
Fun fact: Lam rode in 19 planes, 58 buses and 18 boats during his trip.
