Roadtrip Across the USA: 5000 Photos, 3 Minutes

Road-tripping across the USA is for most people a dream eventually to come true, a subject on their bucket list; in fact, it has become some sort of a myth, for its mesmerizing landscapes commonly depicted in films, illustrations, photographs, and many other art forms.

    Hi Mike! This is an amazing video and I loved it. I just returned from a two-week trip in Bali with my wonderful Italian partner and you’ve just inspired me to do the same!

    May I know which application/software was used to produce your video? Thanks!!!
