Stunning North Korea Timelapse and Hyperlapse

City-­branding pioneer JT Singh and timelapse flow motion videographer Rob Whitworth have teamed up to put together an amazing tourism video about Pyongyang. The little known North Korean city comes to life in the video as the creators show another side to what many people think of the region. Enter Pyongyang captures the humanity, vibrancy and potential of the developing city:

As the creators say, most visitors will be surprised by the scenes they encounter as they enter Pyongyang—how clean and orderly it all is. And they’ll be surprised to know that North Korea is not as off-limits as people think it may be. Politics aside, Pyongyang is a bustling city with a thriving center, beautiful natural spaces, and hardworking people, as told by Whitworth and Singh.
