Around The World In 5 Minutes

January 7, 2012 by Alastair McKenzie

This is one of those classic time-lapse travel videos. This time shot by Kien Lam who spent last year travelling around 17 countries, taking over six thousand photos.

He has compiled the whole trip (343 days) into one amazing time lapsed video, and then (hope he won’t mind us saying this) almost got himself upstaged by his little brother, William, who has written a beautiful musical score to go with it!

We think it is one of the most inspiring travel vids we’ve seen for a long time – way to go, guys!

What do you think?

  Maybe do a timelapse for each year instead?

Very nice. I like the fact that even most of the landscape or scenic segments had people in them.
